Re: Memory Lane: Post your best Redskins Home Game experience (RFK or FedEx)
I've been to several Skins games in my lifetime, and while they were all memorable in one sense or another, my favorite experience is me being 8 years old, sitting about 15 rows up in the middle of the end zone as the Skins rode the Bandwagon right to the Super Bowl.
November 15, 1987 Redskins - Lions. Friends of the family had season tickets for years, had gotten a few extra from their seat neighbors, and my Mom, sister (4 at the time) and I were the lucky ones to get to go.
I was in awe the entire time, in my Theismann jersey and my Redskins jacket. That was the game where Doug Williams came in for an inept Jay Schroeder (which at the time was my hero), and eventually lead the team to a victory that day, as well as Super Bowl XXII. I don't remember much of that game on the whole, but do remember the 4th quarter, watching the entire stadium sway back and forth, up and down, how loud it was, and it being the coolest thing ever.
As nice as it is to see a game at FedEx, nothing beats seeing the Skins play at RFK, late in the season, as they make a run for the playoffs.
