Re: Redskins to Restrict Large Tailgate Parties
I have a friend making this season his last because of the news. Now he may change his mind after calming down a little, but who knows. I get phone calls and emails on a regular basis offering tickets "personally" from Zorn, after waiting for 6 years. I wasnt plaining on getting tickets this year, and now wont even think about it next year.
When you go to a game 1 or 2 times a year its a novelty and you are more interested in the event. But if you have season tickets in the 400's you get a lot more from the game by watching at home. The best reason about going to Fedex when you have 400 level tickets or Restricted Viewing is the tailgating.

Re: Redskins to Restrict Large Tailgate Parties
Damn, you guys were pretty close to the stadium. Now I got an idea why the tailgaters are upset. Anyway just for fun I'm going to wager that you're the guy in the Taylor jersey at 0:08.
LMFAO

Re: Redskins to Restrict Large Tailgate Parties
I live in Texas and never had the pleasure of making a home game yet, but through the media and there web site I've seen a heard about the (DTC) Dead Tree Crew. I get the impression they are some tru die hard fans which I cant wait to get a chance to tailgate with them (You should see the fools in dallas or Texas).
So,what I'm asking is. Is the DTC a cause of this? |

Re: Redskins to Restrict Large Tailgate Parties
Yea they definitely do not need to be making it harder for our already uptight fan base to let loose and get rowdy for our team. Tailgating helps to keep it so not everybody in the expensive seats is just sitting there quietly with their hands crossed! Terrible news

Re: Redskins to Restrict Large Tailgate Parties
I've only gone to a handful of games at FedEx and the experience I think has gotten better over the years, but it's never been great.
On the other hand, going to a Ravens game is a great experience...except for the fact it's the Ravens

Re: Redskins to Restrict Large Tailgate Parties
If Im reading this correct you can still tailgate, you just cant take up multiple spots. IE grill behind your vehicle instead of next to it. I don't see the big deal, you want to have a huge party, you'll walk a bit longer.
Personally, I'd much rather watch a game on TV than go anymore. Unless it's a special atmosphere game (2005 Cowboys Game was crazy!)

Re: Redskins to Restrict Large Tailgate Parties
It does seem to be a little ridiculous that premium spots are taken up like this. Makes sense to have a designated area for tailgating.

Re: Redskins to Restrict Large Tailgate Parties
Makes perfect sense. I think it's a good move by the organization. Plus somehow, they're suppose to improve the flow of traffic after the games which I'm all for. And if you want to party before the game, you know exactly where to go.

Re: Redskins to Restrict Large Tailgate Parties
Exactly. If people still want to take several spots near the stadium, you have to purchase a parking pass for every spot you take. Seems reasonable to me. I also consider it a nice gesture for the Redskins to continue to allow people to take more spots than they paid for -- only at the back of the lot.

Re: Redskins to Restrict Large Tailgate Parties
This is a good move. All people want is to be able to park in a space they paid for without getting spit on or harassed. Tailgating isnt going anywhere (thats good too) they just need to stay in the space they paid for.
