Whats wrong with FedEx

And yet, there hasn't been any claims of fake crowd noise this week, when people are saying it was too quiet in the stadium.

I heard it again this week. It sounds to me like they turn the band microphones on and let the real crowd noise go over the speakers. It was loud at the Lions game when it needed to be.

The only positive of fedex is I get more free tickets offered to me when people can't go since there are so many seats....I would not be able to afford season tickets right now so that is my only shot........PLus the tailgating is good...and you can save a lot of money by getting drunk in the lot before the game and can avoid the pricey beers. My two friends just got those seats behind those pillars.....rediculous. The thing that angers me the most is the $6 fee for the transfer buses from metro

To be fair those seat are sold as obstructed view and they do have to have something supporting the stadium.

RFK was A FOOTBALL ROCKIN' house. Players and coaches STILL talk about how much they hated going to RFK

Here's something no one ever has brought up yet:

• Acoustics.

Most baseball parks, Like RFK, have a cover partially over the stands at the highest point, creating a lid the sound waves bounce off and and back onto the field.

Think of the trajectory of a pool cue ball you hit off the rail:

• angle of incidence equals angle of reflection

The partial roof traps the sound in, and reflects it into the bowl, thus magnifying it.

The open bowl shape of FED EX allows much more sound to escape, the passing C-17's on the way to Anders AFB could hear it.

Thus, a crowd making the same noise at RFK would sound quieter at FedEx.

My seats are way up in level 402, and we are screaming our nuts off. Believe me.

My father was a ticket holder at RFK during the winning and losing years. I am a ticket holder at a FedEx. There were two games in 2005 where I felt like I was back at RFK. The first one was against the giants. During the game we were doing the wave. We stood almost the entire game. Before it was over we were chanting we want Dallas. The second game was the Dallas game. It was insane. The place was electric. One big difference I see is that back in the day it didn't matter what the score was people cheered the skins on the entire time and they didn't leave until the game was over. Now people can't wait to get out. Way back when we tailgated before and after. We couldn't even get the wave started Sunday. With a few more wins hopefully that will change.

By the way I have a philosophy on the down in front - If my seat is in front of yours I have priority. If you want to sit the whole game pay the big bucks to be in the first row.

They don't appreciate their employees.

FedEx is a crappy place to work. They pay well, but it's not worth it.
