[QUOTE=JoeRedskin]I thought the draft started at 1:00 p.m. Am I wrong? I can't seem to find confirmation of the starting time.[/QUOTE]
I believe you're right, JoeRedskin, the draft starts at 1:00pm. The draft show on ESPN starts at 12:00pm, and the draft party at FedEx starts at 11:00am.

As far as meeting up with Warpathers, maybe all the folks who will be arriving at the start of the party-- such as myself-- could meet near the entrance to the Redskins Store (between Lots A and H), which is where they want people to enter the stadium. We could meet up between 11:00am and 11:30am.

I'll be wearing my Smoot retro jersey, and my wife will be wearing her Arrington retro jersey. I'll also be wearing my #28 Darrell Green hat, with a Warpath business card taped to it, and I'll probably be handing out Warpath business cards to folks.

The party itself is going to be held on the concourse and lounge area of the Club Level. Any late arrivals can meet us there. Maybe I'll bring a Warpath sign so people can find us.

Cool!! It looks like I will be there early so I will look for you. I will be wearing a D. Green retro and have my ratty 'Skins cap on.

I think a sign for the lounge area would be a great idea. I got a 2x4 and I think some posterboard - I'll make it if you like (that way, you'll at least find me!).

That would be great, JoeRedskin! I'll be looking for ya!

I'll meet you guys at the store where Joe said between 11:00- 11:30.
I'll be wearing my 1945 Throwback #45 jersey along with my son who I think will wear his smoot #21
Jot down my cell phone just in case 703-929-1035
Summo PM'd me for directions from Reagan Airport and I gave him the number too.

Me and my boy are very excited!
Hail to the Redskins,
the Hail with DallASS.

Those are so you know who to look for.
peace!

I'll be with you in spirit, but my wife planned a getaway weekend at a spa for us. Don't bother teasing, I already feel like half a man. :p

Sammy count me in! cyall there....

Nice job SBF - Anyone got any suggestions for our sign? My wife agreed to make it but wants to know what it should say. I am not particularly creative so my only thought is "Warpathers Meet Here!".

BrudLee - "Don't bother teasing, I already feel like half a man."

But think how pretty your complexion will be when you get home. Bwhahahahahaha!!
Sorry man..I had to "go there".


JoeRedskin, that sounds good. I may print out the url a few dozen times in case we meet players or Gibbs so we can turn them on to this site. It would be awesome of some on the team joined and posted here.

LifeTimeSkin - We'll be looking for ya guy!

HAIL YEAH!

Be Like a Boy Scout and BE PREPARED.

Bring Cameras and stuff to get Autographed in case we get a chance to meet players and Coachs. I'm bringing my signed Sammy Baugh Football but only for Hall of Fame Redskins. I'll have other stuff maybe fpr 2004 Players and Coaches. Maybe stop by your local sports card store and see if the guy has the 2003 Complete Redskin set. Should be less then $5 - $10 bucks and could be handy for Players still on the team.

OH, SHARPIES TOO!!!!

Sorry to flood this thread but I'm excited about the whole thing and want us all to have a great time.

HAIL YES!
peace
mike "the excitable boy"
<><

And don't forget - someone needs to bring the valium for Sammy.

j/k - Good ideas all.

Good call SBF, gotta remember to bring stuff for autographs and all...and $$$ for the tent sale....

Also really looking forward to meeting some fellow Skins die-hards in person! Most of my friends aren't....

I can't wait!!!

I read somewhere (I think on the 'Skins website) that their have been 44,000 invitations requested so it looks like it's going to be crowded. I didn't go last year so I have no idea what it's will be like.

Mrs. JoeRedskin is kindly making a sign for us today. It will be on yellow posterboard (looks like its about 2' x 3') and will simply say "WARPATH", I think she may be putting the Warpath spear on it and something like "Go 'Skins". I will be leaving Baltimore about 9:45 which should get me there by 11:00 with some time to spare.

AS REMINDER: BE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR INVITATION WITH YOU - GET IT AT THE WEBSITE!! YOU CANNOT GET IN WITHOUT ONE.

Okay, one final question - Can I bring my own food? I want to bring a gym bag to put stuff in but I am not sure if they are enforcing game day policies for this event. Anybody got any ideas on that one?

By the way, it appears SammyB has lost interest. He hasn't posted on this thread in almost 2 whole days. Hmmmm, wonder if he is still coming??

Is it time to go to the stadium yet?
It's 9:30 AM the day before....is it too early?

Actually they are having that tent Sale as of yesterday so one could go up there today.
lol

44,000!!!!!!! Do what?!!!

HOLY GIBBS!

Can't wait to meet up with you guys.
peace

According to the team website, fans will be allowed on the field for the party.

Try not to mess things up too much, guys.

Maybe I'll take a small piece of my RFK Red Endzone Turf and plant it. I got it the last game at RFK when we beat DallASS the last time. Maybe the grass will bring us some luck.

My son is excited about getting on the field too.

peace

This may have already been posted but the man himself Joe Gibbs, along with Bugel and Williams, should arrive at FedEx around 2:30

Thanks, JoeRedskin, for taking care of the Warpath sign. That will really help out a lot! Tell your wife we all really appreciate her taking the time to do that.

SBF, I can't wait to meet you, my man, you've got some kind of spirit! Thanks for the ideas as far as bringing stuff to get signed-- I always seem to forget my Sharpie! I think your idea of planting some original RFK turf at FedEx is superb-- especially considering it's turf on which the Cowboys were beaten! Thanks for taking care of Summo, too!

Looking forward to meeting everyone there! Hopefully, we'll make a lot of new Warpathers on our visit.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to try to be one of the first ones there. I probably will be there around 8:30 - 9. I'll be wearing my Lavar Arrington jersey. I'll look for the Warpath sign..........that's if I can still see straight after all the miller lights I consume!



WE WANT TAYLOR!!!!!!!

My wife just finished the sign - Very Nice. Gonna keep it so we can use it for training camp day. I think I owe her t-shirt or something. :biggthump

I wish I could be there with you guys! Sounds like a great time, get plenty of pics!

I'm not going to be able to make it out there unfortunately. Looking forward to meeting you guys soon though

We're gonna make some:
Cowboy Eggs
Hog Strips
and
REDSKIN Potatoes this morning!

Gonna be fun to be there with 45,000 of my closest friends!

I wonder if there ANY teams having this kind of response to Draft Day

peace

OK fellas, I'm working on coming. I'm not positive yet. Thanks to the help of all warpathers for helping me get there. I think 66 might be faster than 17, but there's also a lot of traffic on 66 and 17 looks more of a straight shot. I might be a bit late, anyone have a rough idea where you'll be? i've never been to Fedex!

I'm back and had a GREAT day.
Hooked up with Joecrisp and wife, JoeRedskin and Summo.
Got on the field, returned RFK red endzone grass, got NEW endzone grass to grow, met Joe Gibbs, shook his hand TWICE and much more. I'll be posting a thumbnail page later with about 60 pictures of the perfect day.

Hail yes!
mike

sweet man, i look forward to seeing the pics later. I wish I could have been there. Get any picks with the three trophies?

I didn't find the trophies but I found a few jewels.

Where were the other 10 guys?

It was the best day in "this" fans life in MANY years.

peace
<><

awesome man, thanks for the pics, wish I could have been there.

Trust me...it was MY pleasure.

I shook "HIS" hand. lol

Best part...my son Elijah and I had a great dat together with our favorite Team and new friends.

Hail yes!
peace

oops, wrong thread

Great pics! Man I am so jealous, it must have been awesome to be down on the field like that!

Awesome pics, SBF and "Lyj"!

It was a great experience getting to meet you guys, as well as JoeRedskin and Summo! Finally, I know some of the faces behind the screennames of some of our greatest contributors. I look forward to getting together again with you guys at future events.

I've got some pics coming myself, but they were taken with my mother-in-law's camera, and my wife has to go over to their house today and burn them to a disc so I can upload them to the website.

I got a good-sized handful of the endzone turf myself, and plan to plant a portion of it in my front yard. I'll have to mark the spot, so I remember where it is! Maybe I can paint my own miniature end zone helmet on my yard! LOL!

haha, I look forward to seeing everybody at training camp!

Incredible stuf, SBF. Thanks for the pics, and to all y'all for representing the WARPATH!!! Now that the hallowed ground is in order, we're gonna get back to the promised land. Fed Ex MUST become the loudest, most intimidating stadium for any visiting team in the NFL. I am so psyched, and the season is still months away...

Hey guys! My wife and I were there, but we never got the chance to hook up with you all. SBF, saw you in your #45 down on the field from up on the club level at one point, but that was about it. From your pics, we actually were pretty close to you when Gibbs was speaking...a little futher back and to the right. Anyway, we had a great time, and it looks like you guys did too!
Hopefully we can meet up some other time....if not sooner, at least for training camp...

SkinsR - Does your wife have red hair? I could have sworn I saw you go in (or it least it looked like you from your picture posted with your band).

Sorry we missed you!
