Re: Can the Redskins move back to RFK?

Back when this team was at RFK, they were winning on a consistent basis. The new generation fans didn't have the luxury of being able to watch this team during its glory years. I would imagine in today's economy and the recent history of this team, fans generally probably don't care much for going to watch the Redskins play. Lord knows I don't have the money to shell out for season tickets (nor do I live close enough to attend all the home games.)

Re: Can the Redskins move back to RFK?

the game day experience since Snyder took over is horrible.

Traffic getting to the game is horrid

Tickets are expensive

Food is expensive

Parking is expensive

Traffic leaving the game is horrid

The juice isn't worth the squeeze to go watch a team the is barely over .500 at home in the past 14 seasons...just not worth it.

You would look past all those things though if we had a winning team. Id pay more if we had a constantly winning team.

I feel like Snyder actually made a lot of things better at FedEx compared to what it was like when FedEx first opened.

3 losses at home for a total of less than 10 points is certainly frustrating though

It was a special time to be a Redskins fan. So many great memories there. Fed Ex is simply not a good stadium nor is it a home field advantage like Seattle, Balt or KC.
