Redskins Offseason Thread

[JoeRedskin]

I agree that going to a game once in a while is fun, but regularly doing so would be a hassle. I had season tix about 10 years ago. They were somewhere between 1.5 and 2K a pop (I think - sure felt that way) and, once you buy them, its hard NOT going to games without feeling like you are wasting a ton of cash. Scalping Skins tix in the mid 00's was not exactly profitable or even a break even experience. Generally, the only games worth selling were the games I wanted to go to myself.

On top of that, since I live in Baltimore, going to a game is really an all-day Sunday thing by the time you drive, park, walk to the stadium (reverse on the way out). For a while I enjoyed it, but, now, meh - I'll just watch on my big screen. If tix are offered and it's relatively convenient time-wise, I'll go but it's just such a hassle.

As for Fed Ex, I went to RFK and Fed Ex. RFK was a rickety, broken down arena but damn it felt like home - it was loud, close and you felt part of the action. I have sat in all over FedEx and, unless you are in the lower bowl, along the sideline, and within 20 - 30 rows of the field, may as well watch on TV. There is just nothing special at all about FedEx.
