Brian LaFemina Out Less Than 1 Year In

[FrenchSkin]

I'm sorry but could those of you who went to FedEx field detail why they think it's such a bad stadium?

A part from traffic and parking prices?

I took the subway to go there, thought it was super easy, and while I'm aware my game day experience was significantly enhanced by a huge luck factor, I thought the stadium was well designed, fans are incredibly close to the field... I thought it was a really good stadium... what am I missing ?

I've never had any real complaints about the stadium. Even parking and traffic weren't real issues in my mind but I also usually park at the Arena Shopping Center. I walk further but once I'm in the car it's a quick right out of the parking lot and a right onto the interstate. To me, a few upgrades here and there are more than sufficient. I haven't been to any of the newest mega stadiums but FedEx Field stacks up fine with the stadiums I've been to. Fans want good, competitive football first and foremost. You don't even have to win 10-12 games a year. Just put a good product on the field.

I think there are a lot of folks who advocate moving the stadium back to dc so there are restaurants bars, things to do all day type thing.

That's how a lot of stadiums, arenas are set upin a lot of cities. Kind of an all day outing.

Fedex Field is already an all-day outing.

1. The amnities that surround the stadium are lacking. Walk ability from hotels and restaurants is next to impossible.
2. Price for food is hefty compared to many other stadiums.
3. The turf manager might be the worst manager in the Redskins system.
4. It consistently ranks near bottom in the league for fan experience. Considering the venue attracts fans from other teams and they are comparing their experience vs their home stadium experience it should be taken into consideration.

Thanks guys! Confirms my feeling aren't really about the stadium itself, but a bit about the surroundings, and a lot about the product on the field.
