Can the Redskins move back to RFK?

I don't think Skinsfaninok was saying the stadium made us better. I think he was saying RFK was primarily filled with Skins fans every Sunday.

Agreed with the above poster.

Although I believe it is so bad with opposing team fans invading FedEx field because of whoever is in charge of tickets, selling group seats/discounts for fans of opposing teams to come and see the game there.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe that is the reason why the steelers invaded us on that monday night game in 2008.

As long as the Redskins care more about selling tickets, instead of making sure the tickets go to skins fans, we will always have this problem.

It's not the stadium that's making us suck guys. It's our coaching and overpaid players.

Can't argue with that. Then again, you can't argue with 44ever's post either. I'm not too concerned about the winning edge at Fedex, I just don't want to hear opponents' fans when they make a big play.

I understand a stadium isn't the reason but it sure hurts our team when half the fans are cheering for the opposing team. It's just frustrating I guess

It's always the team first...but I do think that our fans are very fickle, I know I am as well. I need things to make me excited, and when stuff starting going poorly, I tend to just get negative and mad, as I think a lot of people at the stadium do as well... I think that sometimes goes down and does have an affect on the team.

^ there's times when I think it's as loud as any but then there is times where the fans just don't get loud at all.. Is the stadium to big? I've never been but from what I've heard it's just not a favorable place to play.

Not going to happen for a multitude of reasons.

1. Dan Snyder has invested too much money into Fedex Field.
2. They have like a 30 year lease agreement with PGC to stay at Fedex, and it would cost the Skins money to break that lease
3. They left RFK because it's pretty old, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have the luxury boxes Fedex has.
4. I'm not entirely sure but I think DC United still plays at RFK.
5. It's just not going to happen, a new stadium will get built in DC before the Skins ever move back to RFK.


All these are true. But your #1 point he has a lot invested because he when he bought the team they already had moved to FedEX. He has invested money to make the stadium better. But i do think he caused a lot of the opposing fans getting in by selling a lot of tickets to brokers who sell tixs to anyone.

Back when this team was at RFK, they were winning on a consistent basis. The new generation fans didn't have the luxury of being able to watch this team during its glory years. I would imagine in today's economy and the recent history of this team, fans generally probably don't care much for going to watch the Redskins play. Lord knows I don't have the money to shell out for season tickets (nor do I live close enough to attend all the home games.)

the game day experience since Snyder took over is horrible.

Traffic getting to the game is horrid

Tickets are expensive

Food is expensive

Parking is expensive

Traffic leaving the game is horrid

The juice isn't worth the squeeze to go watch a team the is barely over .500 at home in the past 14 seasons...just not worth it.

You would look past all those things though if we had a winning team. Id pay more if we had a constantly winning team.
