Agree.

The best game day experience is in your living room these days. If not, you're doing it wrong.

Pretty much this. I had the opportunity to buy tickets for the Skins/Cowboys game for 100 bucks (they were nosebleeds seats), but I turned it down. Honestly, I thought it'd be 30 degrees at gametime, and I HATE the cold weather. Now, if I had gotten $280 dream seats, I may have sucked it up and put up with the hassle. :FIREdevil

Don't ever do that! They make you eat hot dogs instead of barbeque. The nerve.

Absolutely. Me and my buddies have a rotating party with plenty of food, booze, screaming, yelling, and trash talking and since we are all friends there's no worry about some knuckle-head trying to pick a fight.

My wife is a Packers fan and we actually went to the Packers vs Seattle game. We witnessed the "Fail Mary" and well nobody gave her any crap even wearing a Packers hat and sweater. I didn't wear any team colors and took all the crap from everyone for what she was wearing! They gave her compliments can you believe that! lol women....

I didn't get to go to a game this year, for me and my friends the prices are just too expensive. Once RG3 came into town all the secondhand prices went up, and I used to get free tickets from my neighbor but that stopped after the Rex/Beck era because his company didn't want to being paying for a subpar product. Last game I went to was the Redskins/Giants season opener in 2011. Sat in the nosebleeds, had a great time, the girl I took didn't understand football but she still had fun (and became a Giants fan after the game :/) and if I had the opportunity to go again I would. Usually I try to make it to one or two games a year but the RG3 factor is probably going to limit my trips to Fedex for the next several years. Maybe I'll settle for trying to make it out to training camp when it goes to Richmond.

i have flown back to DC each year ive lived in AZ. BC I love the gameday experience, look i know the line gets crossed. But if you dont love screaming DEFENSE or chanting RG3 you r nuts. Love going to games, love getting rowdy, cursing i get. I was way worse in my younger days but saying anything but F id say is fair game. You are at a nfl game, not a broadway play. KEEP FED EX ROCKING

I've been to numerous games at RFK and FedEx over the years, and have been fortunate to have not had any major issues at any game I've been to. I have seen my fair share of altercations but they've always been in sight and nowhere near me. For the most part, the fans are pleasant. And I do agree that the day games are much more calmer than the night games and that the lower you are, the less issues you tend to have.

Nowadays, I only go when my wife gets tickets and a parking pass from one of her vendors, and we make a day of it. Get there when the lots open, tailgate and eat, watch the game, tailgate a bit more and go home once the traffic starts to clear up a bit. Inside, I might buy a soda or a beer and that's it. We always eat plenty while we tailgate, and then we make sure to have some snacks and leftovers for after the game.

We do the same thing and traffic is never an issue. Brats before the game and shish kabobs after.

I enjoy sitting in the comfort of my own home, going to the bathroom whenever I need to (and I can pause the game and catch up during the beer commercials!), getting food whenever I want to, not having some drunk idiot sitting near me, don't have to pay for my car in to be parked in the driveway, and I can keep the caps on my drink.

I went to 1 redskins game, it was preseason, and I figured that it wouldn't be a pain with traffic and drunk idiots. It was a pain and it was a little more than 50,000 people in attendance. I was thinking about if its this bad at half capacity, imagine it at 90,000?!?

You'd have to pay me to go to a redskins game, because I'm happy cheering for them at my house.
