From what I understood, the location, getting and leaving from there and bad view when seated far from the field are the 3 main negatives of going to FedEx Field.

So I booked a really good seat and thought I could deal with what can be bothering if you go several times.

For a one time experiment, I don't mind the traffic and everything. I saw some pretty nice recent fans phones shot footages from inside the staidum, and felt this would still be quite an experience.

Week 14 division game, could have some serious playoffs implications, honestly... I'm pumped!

Honestly the traffic is no worse than any other stadium AS LONG AS YOU PLAN ON GETTING THERE A LITTLE EARLY. I wish i could tell you exactly where the lot I used to park in was - was than like a quick five minute walk into the main parking lot. Always got right in and right out but its been a few years since I ventured down there for a game. Not sure what you mean by location being bad? Wasn’t in a crummy neighborhood or anything. As far as the big picture and attracting the locals maybe it isn’t ideal but if you are just going for a game it isn’t a big deal. Also i use to sit up in the nose bleeds. Section 454. Totally fine view. The stadium isn’t a thing of beauty and probably could be in a better location as far as locals being able to fill it up, but of the 10-12 games I ventured down to between 05 and ‘11 we always cruised right in and right out. Always had a great time. Never could not see the action. Enjoy!

Also winning makes a HUGE difference, if we are going into that game at 8-5 or so then the atmosphere will be much better .

Correct. Lol. The pics i posted were from our biggest home victory against the cowboys in history and it was a must win for a playoff birth.
Place was absolutely rocking. Parcells said after the game that in all his years he never felt more intimidated than before that game. The WE WANT DALLAS chant still gives me goosebumps.

Yup my first home game ever. Went back a bunch of times, Sean Taylor tribute was awesome but Gibbs called the two timeouts in a row and knocked us out of fg range - terrible game. Saw a bunch of other terrible games. Lol. As a matter of fact I dont think i ever saw a win again - nothing like that Dallas slaughter anyway.

I've been to 6 games (1 per season) the last 6 years. they are 4-2 so I'll take that. 1-1 V Dallas

That was brutal. I remember that. Gibbs didn't know the rule. Al Saunders got in his ear and told him to call a 2nd TO and he listened. Gibbs would never throw Saunders under the bus and put it on himself.
