Re: Field Condition
They need to do it quarterly throughout the year then. Just put down field turf and be done with it.

It should be a simple decision for Dan...do you want to protect your investment? RGIII is probably his biggest investment to date in terms of potential return.

Re: Field Condition
How on earth does Greenbays field always look awesome? Whatever they do in the frozen tundra they need to do at fedex.

1) Fedex is one of the one of the newer/nicer stadiums in the league. Financially, for the team, league, and taxpayers who'd be expected to contribute, it doesnt make sense to move. Its just a dream of older fans who daydream about the "glory days." 2) Unless you want to root for the Washington Warriors, you shouldnt want the team to move back to D.C.

Re: Field Condition
Maybe that is why they are always rated as one of the best franchises for fan experiences every year. Also because the fans own the team.

Re: Field Condition
So he drops mega millions on players/coaches but won't drop a couple million for a field? Not sure I buy that's the reason.

Re: Field Condition
I think the fan experience is great because of how long the stadium's been there, special rule consessions the NFL makes for Lambeau, and the fact that, for the most part, they've had a good team to root for, for the majority of its history. Most recently, theve only had 2 losing seasons in the past 20 years.

2) This fall the stadium will be 16 years old, not exactly new. 3) There are 16 newer stadiums in the NFL, I would not call it one of the newer stadiums in the NFL. It is in the bottom half. 4) If you move to Northern Virginia or DC, two of the richest areas in the nation, especially the US, they would be able to find the funds for it, if Indianapolis and Dallas found the resources, I am sure Northern VA or DC could find the resources. 5) Like the article states, they would discuss it, the mayor would need support in order to create a change... you really think he is going to get it? Northern VA is also an option and would have the backing of an entire state, unlike DC (which is only a city). 6) The stadium is nice? I went to different sites to get different opinions of the quality of the stadium on a gameday for fans and fan experience Washington ranks 25th, 19th, and 27th, |

Re: Field Condition
They are money sinks for the community. They really don't generate capital as you might think. They take more from the community than they end up giving back.

Re: Field Condition
F a name change. I'd rather move the team to West Virginia than lose the Redskins name.
Wheeling Redskins sounds better than Washington Warriors to me. Heck, build it at the Charlestown race track.
