i went and saw the panthers play in 2001 in charlotte and it only cost 20$$ to park there.where they get you at martinsvilles is the land is owned by people who live right there.their yards are'nt really big,but they are big enough for 40 cars.at 40 bucks a pop,that's 3600 easy dollars.hell,they could charge 100 $ and people would pay it.

It's 8 bucks for a beer at Fedex. And the cost for parking is a huge reason why I take the metro from Franconia-Springfield to Morgan Boulevard, it's free to park at metro and round trip from there and back is like 9 bucks. Saves me plenty of gas and money in the end.

Metro is great, and probably the best way to get to the game especially for those in the DC metro area, but it becomes a problem if you value tailgating.

Scroll down under Stadium Atmosphere..... "An Eagles fan, after running his mouth for about three quarters, was given the option to shut up or be tossed off the top of the stadium."

I find that funny as hell!

I hate all the Fed Ex bashing. I enjoy going to games at Fed Ex Field. I love that we have the biggest stadium in the league. It's not perfect but it's far from the dump that some people call it. All Redskins fans loved RFK but in reality RFK was an old dump...what we love is really that all our best memories are there not neccessarily the building itself. If the Redskins had a couple Super Bowl teams in Fed Ex and built some history here people would start to get attached to it IMO.

Well one problem with ticket prices is that the true fan is rarely there. I had great seats to the Arizona game but the seats around me were full of people wearing polos.

It really was upsetting. Go to a game in Philly, Pitt, Green Bay, I doubt it's it would be like that. Also people like RFK because it was a hell of a lot louder. For housing 90k+ FedEX doesnt get loud.

I put this in the dupe thread. Bleh...

What I will say though; if they ever rate the top tailgate friendly parks, FedEx should be in the top 5, easy. It' a giant friggin party/cookout. Ten plus acres of food, booze, and fun. I'm going to the Skins/Ravens game later this season, but it's in Baltimore. I can't say that I'm looking forward to tailgating underneath an overpass, in some Baltimore back alley...

hahaa yeah who would do that? Thanks again man! For anyone else who wants to get tix remember skinfan nn has great ones and very reliable.

Finally I love polos, I go to UVA lol. But at a game it's a bit annoying. Wear jersies not your 100 dollar lacoste polo.

The article and the polling are poorly done. The team rankings are all FUBAR.
The Texans stadium is ranked #15 and the Cardinals is #21 !?? 2 years ago there wasn't barely anyone showing up in either of those stadiums! Yet we are ranked below them??
Not that I'm a fan....but I'm pretty sure the history at Candlestick and the Metrodome should be placed up the list a ways.

I agree, I would take that further and urge all sports fans to view any sports "polls" to be taken with a grain of salt.

These guys do not take into account any confounding variables, statistical significance, etc. Basically they really don't mean anything.

I wonder what the link rates. Notice all of the altercation stories involve eagles fans. F 'em and their grandparents.

Tailgating in B'more is actually a pretty good time. A buddy of mine wanted to see the Steelers, so I went with him in '06 when the Ravens trounced them. I knew a few different groups, and we bounced all over the parking lot. But tailgating at FedEx is a great time as well.

However, I'm not sure why they say the traffic in and out of there is any good. It's quite comparable with FedEx...

[mlmpetert]

I think the ticket prices are pretty bad when you consider that it seats as many as it does, and the location. I just got offered season tickets but am putting it off, becuase its just a hell of a lot cheeper to buy a ticket from someone right before the game for 10-30 bucks (regualr game non-divisional). And then buy really nice tickets for a big game and still come out waaayyyyyy ahead.

And as someone else said the cost of beer is out of controll.

Its all in the planning to have a great day at FedEx. I live in the Va Beach area and we leave the house around 7:30am and that puts us just ahead of trafic and we roll into the parking lot around 10:30am (I have a parking pass connection). That gives us 2 good hours to grill out drink some beer and just take in the wave of people cooking drinking. We then go to the game and have a few more beers and enjoy maybe a soft pretz. or some fries. When we return to the car which is around 5:00 pm we sit back and enjoy a cold drink or beer. We then will fire up the grill and have dinner. By this time the parking lot is pretty empty and we shoot over the interstate to our hotel which is only a couple of miles away. We sleep it off and leave for home around 9:00 the next day.
