Well, my experience with Fan Day was a little different that the other posts. My girlfriend and I drove from Jersey City, NJ at 6:30 am and arrived in Asburn at 11:00am. I thought I had missed the morning workout but turned out it was canceled. So I enjoyed taking pictures with the Superbowl trophies, receiving a free Redskins hat and bag for signing up for a credit card and I bought 3 awesome hats for $10 and a gold polo shirt for the same price. It's funny, because under the tent, the sales items were much cheaper than up on the hill. The turnout was spectacular. I worked my way to the front of the railing to get the best pictures like a paparazzi. When Lavar Arrington, the cheerleaders, the marching band, Coach Gibbs and players arrived on the field I got a good look. I even shot pictures of Jon Jansen's wife and baby. I took a nice picture of Portis, McCants, Coles and Gardner catching the ball. When I finished shooting the players , I just walked over to the autograph line to have Fred Smoot sign my authenic jersey. I also took a picture with Smoot, James Thrash, Gari Scott, Scott Cloman and Walt Harris. I thougt overall, the planners of the event didn't pay to much attention to the itenerary they posted on the website or on the paper they handed out. It definitely tested our patience, but this was the return of the Lord of the Rings and I wasn't about to miss it for nothing. If you want me to post the pictures, please instruct me on how to do it.
