Re: Photos from Fan Appreciation Day

Yep, parked in this half grass/half dust field that had holes, ditches, horrible. I can't imagine how bad it would be if it rained.

Also, impossible to push a stroller through, I just picked the whole thing up with my son in it and carried him for a while.

I'd LOVE for it to move back to Carlisle...I'll go all the time.

But I had no idea I was so close...my wife has a relative in Leesburg and she told us about taking Rt 15 from practically my front door, right to Redskins Park. Less than 2 hours driving...last time I went to D.C., we took the Beltway...took over 3 hours. Never again.

I guess they didn't change the lot we went one year and it rained during practice got back to my buddy's Ranger it was stuck, few folks helped to get it out.

I really wish they pick a new venue.

The rest of the property/facilities is great, but as we were walking back to the car, I was thinking to myself "Snyder can't afford a little landscaping out here?"

IT is not even the "grounds" it is more the feeling, it felt more like training camp in Frostburg and Carsailie, the town/school was exicited to have them and there was a buzz around town.

At RP it misses that element.

If you recall earlier I started a thread asking you guys where you felt training camp should be held. The park is closer to the city, convenient in many ways but equally as uncomfortable. No seating arrangements is for many [including myself] an area that should be given a little more consideration in an effort to make the experience more rewarding for the fans who bold the humidity and hot temperatures around here at this time of year. Traffic as well.
