Why the FedEx Field Bashing?

Ok, retractable makes it better, but it's still based on a blunder and will cause crappy shadows unless it's positioned with the sunlight better than the original.

I still think the "hole in the roof" looks stupid.

I wonder if they'll build the field with that nasty hump to it like they have now.

There is no use in comparing RFK to FedEx. If you never experienced RFK for a game, you don't truly know what it was like to be there. That place, as cookie cutter as it was, had an atmosphere that FedEx will never have. 55,000 loud screaming fans that literally shook the stadium deep into the 4th quarter. It didn't matter if the concessions were lousy, and it took hours to get home via Metro afterwards, RFK represents what Redskins football was all about.

I don't mind FedEx as a facility. The seats are fine, the concessions are decent, and there is plenty of parking for tailgating. However, what I don't care for is the empathy of Mr Rich Fan who buys his tickets and then either doesn't use them, or sells them to out of town fans.

But honestly I think instead of bitching about what FedEx isn't, we all should make FedEx the best experience we can. Get there early, tailgate, be there for kickoff, cheer loudly, stay the whole time, and tailgate some more. It shouldn't matter how well or poorly the team is doing, you're there to have fun and cheer on the Skins.

I have to agree and after all the tail gating I don't think I've ever tried any food at FedEx I'm to full by game time.

I was at RFK...and I loved the place. I just think that if we win 3 Super Bowls in Fed Ex it would at least narrow the gap. The Fed Ex bashing comes from the losing as much as anything.

Yeah, but I don't think the people on this site are the problem.

If the redskins were winning nobody would give a damn about the stadium.
