@mlmdub130. Sacrebleu ! Sapristi ! Bordel de merde ! (damned!) 200 USD for a game ticket! But you're right, this is a one time deal, so it will worth it. Hopefully for me, Euro is a strong currency right now!

@firstdown. I got some family living in Fairfax County, VA but I think it is not so close to Fedexfield. I think that the best is to use the public transportation like metro. Looks to be 1h far from the stadium.
I just hope that the transportation are not the mess as they can be in France.

Knowing that the game begins at 1:00 PM, I guess it would be wise to arrive 2 hours earlier !

1. Check on the game time a week before the game. The NFL can - - and often does - - move 1:00 games to 4:15 if the game has a national interest. If the Giants are playing for the NFC East title, the game MIGHT be moved to the late slot. Given the weather in January, you do not want to arrive at Fed Ex in time for a 1:00 game and wait there with your thumb up your butt for a 4:15 game.


2. If you are driving to the game, be prepared to pay a bundle to park your car and leave PLENTY of time to get through traffic.


3. After the game, do not schedule anything where you have to meet someone back in DC or anywhere in Northern Virginia for at least 2 houras after the game is over. That is how long it can take for you to get out of the stadium and back to those areas.


4. Wear lots of warm clothing. Washington in January is colder than France in January.


5. Enjoy...
