Re: Redskins Mayor Trying To Get Team Back To D.C.
I'm all for the 'Skins coming back to DC. I was upset when they left and still cringe when the announcer says Landover, MD during the games...boooo.

Re: Redskins Mayor Trying To Get Team Back To D.C.
Forgive me for asking, considering I haven't lived in Maryland since '92 but is this the same guy that got caught smoking crack before getting re-elected?

No, he is not. That would be Marion Barry. Fenty is a young guy (38) who was elected last year.

No. Marion Barry hasn't been mayor of D.C. for quite some time now.

Ditto to what the others said. We've had a couple of mayors since then and one of them was responsible for the Redskins leaving in the first place, IMO.

Re: Redskins Mayor Trying To Get Team Back To D.C.
but that would mean that REDSKIN fans may actualy going to the games. Not 25,000 fans, 50,000 business associates, and 20,000 opposing team fans.

Here is my math on actual fans. I realize they are not exact.

RFK 55,000 screaming maniac fans. Of those 55,000 left 30,000 have been run off. (ticket pricing, losing, losing, losing, ticket price, opposing team fans, Redskin fans who have no clue how to bounce a stadium, chant, sing, scream) That leaves 25,000 fans who know how to make a stadium a feared place for all opponents. Ironic that we have the largest stadium in the league and never get mentioned as a place people do not want to come to. Gibbs could not even win there. Snyder has ruined what the REDSKINS stand for.

Snyder inherited Fed Ex from your namesake. You can argue he has bumped prices up too much but the Pats are just as expensive and their stadium is known to rock. I think more of it has to do with design flaws in the stadium itself. RFK exemplified doing more with less, mostly because of its accoustics. Fed Ex reminds me of Michigan's Big House, which is the largest stadium in the country but not regarded as particularily intimidating, mostly because its open design allows sound to reverberate out.

I am so glad they stopped playing that song on the radio rotation every 10 minutes here. I thought I would keel over.

Domes are louder than closed roofs and like the Oregon stadium, RFK was the loudest stadium per. person.
