Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

Anyways, me and my dad are trying to go to this, and he said if we go we'll need to take the metro. My question is, isn't there a stop on the metro that leaves you like a couple blocks from fedex? And if so, what line is that on? I think they added a new station a couple years ago so fans wouldn't have to take the bus from that old station to fedex field.

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

The closest station is Landover (orange line), which is 3 miles from FedEx. On game days, Metro runs busses between Fedex and the station, but I don't know if they're going to do that for the scrimmage.

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

yeah, the old Addison Road station. That's the one we used when my dad took me to a skins game once. I thought they were building a new station that's a closer proximity to Feded though.

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

There is a newer station - take the Blue Line to the Morgan Boulevard Metro Station. The Morgan Boulevard Station is located on Garrett Morgan Boulevard and is within 1-mile walking distance to FedExField.

I will be driving from NoVA, but the car will already be crammed full of like 6 people in an attempt to watch this "free" game with minimal costs.

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

I'll be rolling in with my 4 year old son around 10:30 - and probably leaving by 12:30 if he has anything to say about it.

Just FYI the bus only runs from Landover, you have to walk from Morgan Blvd. Its not a terrible walk (~1 mi), but Im not looking forward to it in this heat! But fortunately I'll be making the walk early to get into the parking lot by the time they open at 9. You think this is just training camp for the Skins? Its time to whip our tailgate crew into shape as well!

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

alright, looks like i'm walking ;) i'll be there early.

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

Who is meeting where?

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

Who wants to swing through MoCo to pick me up? All of my so-called friends are too busy to go and I'm not going alone (I'd cry too much)

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

Is it free?

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

Yeah, but its $25 to park!!! DAMN THEM!

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

Haha... I printed out a "ticket" .... and if I go I'm gonna take the metro.

Anyone wanna meet up at Huntington?

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

Are they going to air the scrimmage on TV???? I am not seeing anything that says they w

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex

Yeah I think Crystal City to Morgan would work. Depends on how far into the city you're willing to drive

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

thanks man. yeah ide rather drive as little as possible.

[QUOTE=x44x]thanks man. yeah ide rather drive as little as possible.[/QUOTE]

It'll be a long metro ride, but the flip side is the deeper you drive into the city the harder it can be to find parking

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

NEWS: scrimmage will be on comcast sportsnet at 8pm, for those in the area without NFL Network.

channel 57 for me (springfield, i have cox).


also, starting sept 1st, comcast with start showing MASN and Nationals games to 1.6mill subscribers in the area. a little later another 600k more will also get the channel. Cox and RCN already show nats games and carry MASN in the local area.

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

I wonder what channel(s) Comcast will drop to add MASN. MASN has added some interesting programming to its lineup this week including CFL. Finally, we can watch Ricky Williams...oh wait

i've actually been watching CFL on sundays on comcast sportsnet (they show the first game of the sunday double header, then switch to a dc united game - who happen to be stomping the league this year).

the MASN stuff is better than a blue screen, but radio on tv (anita marks) kinda stinks. they seem to run a bunch of espn2 stuff too (ie the us-pr basketball game was broadcast there), and they had a race of some kind on tonight...

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

I think they're airing some ESPNews as well

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

Gonna' hijack this for a second. I have horrible hiccups and I can't sleep because of it. Any remedies? I'm seriously going to blow my brains out.

Even though I'm sure that would be a pretty good remedy, I need something less permanent.

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

Anybody going to the Scrimmage and so happens to be a stylish dresser of Skins gear here this to ponder:

Prizes: Best Dressed Fan, 12 and Older

The first-place winner will receive two tickets, one parking pass and two tailgate passes to the Redskins-Vikings season opener on Monday, Sept. 11, at FedExField; plus an autographed jersey.

The second-place winner will receive two tickets to the Aug. 19 Redskins-Jets preseason game and an autographed mini-helmet.

The third-place winner will receive two tickets to the Aug. 19 Redskins-Jets preseason game and an autographed football.

The fourth- and fifth-place winners will each receive two tickets to the Aug. 19 Redskins-Jets preseason game.

I wish i could help you but my other friend is driving and he said no. My so called friends ditched me too. Everyone knows i am a big skins fan. I asked 13 people to go. 11 told me, sure(given some said this a long ass time ago). 1 gave me reason to believe he was coming and the 13th had a shot. They would bring friends, girl friends, and cousins leading me to believe i could know up to 20 people going with me. Right now i am trying to gather 6. Its sad, people lie to the bsb

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

HA, BSB, how random is it that I just signed on after a long night at the bar and this is the first post that I see? I might actually be going in the morning with one of my buddy and one of my little sister's friends (but we were drunk when we decided to go, so we might not). Anyways, if we go we'll probably drink a bit in the parking lot before, now I can't provide for minors but sometimes we lose track of the number of beers in the cooler, so you can PM me to meet up if you want. Don't take that to be shady b/c I really didn't mean it to be. Ok, I should probably just go now.

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

on a side note I was just flipping through the channels with my friend and I said the following, with a dead serious tone, as I came across the movie Big Top Pee Wee: "hoooooeeee-llllleeee shit!"

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

My son Elijah just left to pick up his girl friend and head up for the afternoon. He said his cousin Nickie said she would be there and for Elijah to call her cell once he's there as she will be in....the Owner's Booth.

Do what?????
Yep her boy friend evidently knows ole Danny boy.

We'll see how this turns out but Elijah took his sharpie and best Sean Taylor jersey on.

He's gonna call me if he get's in the booth as he knows I have a few words for Mr. Snyder. lol

peace

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

I didnt get to go, but I was sent a camera phone picture from the event:

looks like a pretty good turnout.

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

I went, it was hot, a bit slow, but had its high points on and off the field. Read my post in this other thread.

"I dont know if this is the correct thread to discuss the scrimage, but guys Cambell looked really bad. Like all his passes fell really short, and Brunell looked much better. Collins always when with the 3 yard outs, so he wasnt doing to well either. ST was on fire, and he was destroying people including Mike Anderson. In general though, our offense did not look good at all, and defense looked really good.

On a side note I was right under where Larry Michael was broadcasting the scrimage by the 50 yard line on the Skins side. A fight broke out right in front of us, and people were punching and the cops had to come in, it was crazy did anyone else see that? As I was leaving I saw some thuggish guy in the face of a cop talkin shit, saying "take me to jail", and another guy was getting arrested. Pretty crazy."

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

sounds like the QBs performances carried over from camp. hopefully it picks up next week. last year i went the second week and the QBs really had things pretty well together.

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

I thought that Collins looked good. Cambell short hopped a couple but it is early.

I really like the screen passes. Portis is going to be a fantasy monster this year!!

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

Hopefully someone will read this in the next fifteen minutes before i leave, but I heard a rumor that Metro will run busses from Landover Mall to Fedex for games. Is this true?

Re: Skins - Ravens Scrimmage at Fedex
 

check the web site

They do run busses from Landover Metro to the stadium.
