I wish for 1 game something happened to fed ex and the team had to play at rfk again and todays players saw what it was like,preferably a playoff game,that would be so great,the stadium would be rocking!
Is there any player currently on the skins that played at rfk?

I think if we were winning Fedex would also rock. Not much for fans to really get excited about right now.

As best i can remember, the last player for the skins who played for them in both stadiums (FedEx, RFK) was Darrell Green. There isnt any player on the team right now that played at RFK. Ray Brown (OL), also played in both stadiums as a player when he was here in 2005.

I am a Redskins season ticket holder and I have been for the last 7 or so years. My first seats were next to a chain link fence. That is right, I sat at the very top. I can tell you this, my seats have been moved down and I have been tempted to call the office and ask for my seats back at the top.
Why? you may ask: Because Redskins fans actually tell me to sit down on plays, they barely cheer and they want to drink more than cheer for a team. It upsets me a great deal. If you go to bar you get much more of the old RFK experience and alot cheaper tab! I go because I care about the Redskins, I have fun with my wife and have had many great memories with my father at these games. I suggest more fans for for that reason.

Dude! Do what I do! Tell the dude that wants you to sit down to stand up! Its 3rd Down! GET UP! I can't hear you! If they have a problem with it.........say you can't hear them again! If they still have a problem with it, after the noise has died down, tell them to get an usher. He WILL NOT care if you stand up during big plays! Trust me! I know!

With that being said. If you are consistently standing up...............just for the heck of it. Then he will say something.

A winning team cures everything.
You can't have good home field advantage with out a winning team.
RFK is not some magical place. It was the coaches and players that came together to make it grand. Once we win over 10 games in one season, then what ever stadium we play at will be a great place.
We had decades of terrible football in RFK before Vince Lombardi, George Allen and finally Joe Gibbs arrived. We could play in a parking lot, I don;t care, just win.

So true, and well said.

I agree 100% on the fact that Fed Ex Field is ready to rock .. that stadium does get loud and has even pumped up the volume for some "big" games over the past few years .. your telling me that game 1 this year wasn't loud ? The atmosphere wasn't good considering they let people tailgate for 13 hours ?? Fed Ex Field IMO is just one home playoff game from getting buck nasty .... 90,000 people have been waiting very patiently for a few home playoff games ...

this is a little off topic but what do you think of the idea of having a "Winter classic" hockey game at Fed Ex ?

Man I would love that. I think if the Winter Classic ever does come to DC, it would probably go to Nats Park just because it's more modern, but I wouldn't care where it was as long as it came to DC.

That'd be pretty awesome
