I will tell you from experience these will wipe out many old time and long time ticket holders and bring in the corporate ticket people .If you think the game day experience cost was high before it will go through the roof now!

I remember a few years ago, the Redskins called me offering season tickets. Provided, they were probably seats next to a pole blocking the view and next to a trash can (I'm kidding but probably not great seats), but the prices were not too terrible. At the same time, I couldn't justify the amount of travel I'd have to do that often, plus having to get a hotel room each time I went - just couldn't swing that. With the Panthers, I can very easy make that day trip, but, it's the Panthers, not the Redskins!
Although I do try to go to the Panthers games when they're hosting the Redskins.
But anyway, you do make good points. I think my only thinking is that there are a lot of Redskins fans covering all of VA, not just the D.C. DMV area. There's still a huge following down here in Greensboro, NC, even though it's technically now Panther territory. I think whatever season ticket holders you may lose up around the DMV, you could replace those faces.
