FedEx to Install Party Decks; Remove Seats

Well it's not primarily for the Redskins football games. It's for the other events that are increasingly taking place there


Yeah becasue we know the Redskins hardly play there anymore.

I dont have a problem with it but IMO it will increase the drunk factor at games. I also think this will help reduce the Redskins burden of keeping up with this phoney sell out/wait list they like to hype.


Honestly i kind of feel like the way NFL teams are going to be able to keep filling stadiums is by catering to the drunk fan. People with discretionary income to throw at football games season after season arnt usually families.....


Also i dont think a big stadium works in DC. Is the melting pot of the country, there are so many people that live there that are from other areas and route for other teams. Anything that can be done to keep seats in Fedex filled with Redskins fans needs to be considered even if it means reducing the size.

Im sooooo tired hearing about Kenny Chesney concerts disguised as a Redskins email

I 100% agree. I think part of the reason we also see so many visiting fans in FedEx is that with 90,000+ seats it's just too easy for them to get tickets. By limiting the number you would hope it would reduce the number of tickets even available to away fans.

I think the owners are realizing that the old stadium model is dying. With HDTV so good and all the hassle of going to the game it seems owners are doing anything they can to replicate the home experience at the stadium. A big party with a bunch of friends is part of the home experience.

As an interesting side note, FedEx which opened in 1997, is now the oldest stadium in the NFC East.

Eh, dunno. Maybe you're right, but DC has always been a transient city. But when the Skins won, the stadium was always packed with Redskins fans!

I have seen a few studies that show DC is no more transient than any other big city it just seems that way because the Govt changes every few years.

I think you are in luck that concert was last weekend.

My friend has season tix in 412 but last season they moved him from row 20 to row 6 so he'll probably be unaffected by this. I've been to Fedex 8 times in the last 7 years and 7 out of those 8 times I sat in the affected areas. I don't think I'm gonna miss those areas much tbh. As far as the game day experience goes it won't be affected too much.

The party decks in Charlotte are inside and they are horrible. Basically you pay to stand around inside and watch the game on tvs. The one in Tampa is awesome though (on the ship).
