Redskins Offseason Thread

[Chico23231]

The response to little interest for Dez strongly confirms what Ive thought...completely overrated WR. He had 3 really good years and pretty avg there after.

Please remember...WR free agent market was dry this year. The WR draft class was largely meh. There should be a market if he was truly a talent.

FedEx Field is probably the single worst decision in franchise history. Iconic RFK in D.C. to mediocre stadium in Bumblefuck, Egypt.

At the time it made sense and JKC paid for the whole thing himself rare then ....impossible now.Right now to me one big problem with Fed Ex is the deal the state and JKC agreed to with the infrastructure that the state did, if the Skins break the deal they have to pay it all back. I just wonder how people would feel about Fed Ex if the Skins had the same type of record and history there like they did at RFK.
I think the next Redskins home will be in DC the courts have solved the name problem and the land in Oxon Hill just will not happen . If it goes to VA it will be somewhere on the Potomac ,Chrystal City maybe where I am not sure.Another question is....what do you do with Fed Ex,sell it,for what ?There is a big Mall/ shopping center across the beltway ,already a boatload of New Homes there now not sold and you have a Metro stop within walking distance.

I think fedex will be imploded.

The old Landover mall site still sits half empty the area should be a prime market but its not right now.

The Old Landover Mall site was up for the "new FBI Headquarters Building / campus but trump stopped that. I agree the're going to have to tear it down but the Skins will lose a lot money in value unless they donate it for some use and take a write off,if they can.

The Skins moving back to D.C. has nothing to do with finding room for a stadium. That part would be easy. The political battle over the team name is the first hurdle that needs to be cleared.

I will prob never go back to Fedex again, last yr was my first time but I'd rather see them on the road, the stadium has nothing great about it, the visitor has just as many fans so it feels like a mutual site game, the seats sucked. Nothing around the stadium to really go and eat that's close, I parked cheaper at Jerry world and walked closer. Didn't help it was a hurricane downpour all night but shit sucked.

My Youngest went to a game a few years back at Jerry World and said it was amazing! She said the Jumbo screen is so big you watch that more than the actual game .
Been to three games at Met Life up in the Meadowlands and I hate it ,most likely won't go back. The seats suck, way to small and cramped and like Jerry's world they have numerous lounge's to seat at and drink while watching the game,to me if that is what you're going to do, why the hell go???

Had to go to Dallas on business last year and thought I was in LA. Good lord.

The best place for a new stadium is and always has been the site of the virtually abandoned RFK Stadium. This site has the best access to fans from more locations than any other site I can think of.

Let's start with the fact that there is a Metro Station right next to the stadium. This would provide access to fans from all parts of the D.C. Metro area. The city could also provide Circulator bus service on game days. People who live on Capitol Hill could walk to the game.

For people who would prefer to drive there are many ways to get to the stadium on good roads. Fans from Virginia can cross the 14th Street Bridge and take 395 which has an exit straight into the parking lot. The road actually terminates in the stadium parking lot!

Fans from Alexandria and Springfield can cross the Wilson bridge and take 295 straight to the stadium. Fans from Annapolis and Bowie can drive up Route 50 to the stadium. Fans in College Park can drive down Rhode Island Avenue. Chico can parachute into the stadium.

The new stadium would be built on the site of the old stadium and would include new multi-story parking garages.

It's a damn shame that the intractable positions of Dan Snyder and the D.C. Council over the team name are keeping this from happening.

BTW, F Richmond! The Redskins and Washington are synonymous, even if one businessman and few grandstanding politicians don't get it.

Richmond is 2 hours from DC. They would not be the Washington Redskins anymore, that move would cripple the fan base IMO. I highly doubt that move would happen.
