it took that dick one year of success. in the article you'll note how they compare us to the giants and cowboys ticket prices, almost as if the redskins are justifying it by saying two other teams in our division still have higer prices. you know what else those two teams have a new figgin stadium, not an old dump thats been recently stripped down to the bones.

as a season ticket holder for 9 years now and a skins fan for 30 years, i would just like to say f you danny, f you.

No one if forcing you to go. No one if forcing you to give "that dick" your money. With HD and surround sound I have no idea why anyone would go over there and pay those ridiculous prices.

Exactly. Right now is the best time of the year to buy TVs as well. If you don't have one, you should jump in this deal from Best Buy this week. $1,000 off on a great TV. I should get commission for this.

Over $1500 for a TV and your complaining about a $75 ticket?

I would recommend no one takes his advice to by that TV. Its an active 3D tv which means you have to wear heavy, glasses with batteries that cause eye strain. Passive 3D (whats used in movie theaters) is a simpler, better all around technology.

I think that's your opinion and nothing factual. As noted below...


Active 3D vs. passive 3D: What's better? | TV and Home Theater - CNET Reviews

The bottom line
Sorry, no winners, only whiners. Both 3D methods are flawed in serious ways. Glasses-less (autostereoscopic) 3D, if it ever makes it mainstream, is going to have its own major flaws.

My advice? Figure out how much time you'll spend watching 2D versus 3D, and how far you're going to sit from your chosen screen size. If you're like most people, you'll be watching far more 2D, in which case I recommend getting the TV that looks better with 2D. If you think you'll watch a lot of 3D, passive might be better, but only if you're sitting far enough away (or your TV is small enough) that you can't see the "interlace" lines.

Also, you aren't required to wear the glasses unless you are using the 3D features on the TV. Which is going to be very little.

Tickets-$75 x 10 = $750
10% Tax= $75
Parking $40 x 10 = $400
----------------------
Total: $1225

That's the grand total for ONE seasons worth of viewing the Redskins at FedEx. Double that if you want to bring a friend. Now, this doesn't even factor in the costs of gas, food, and other game day related items that would incur a cost.

All that for one season's worth of entertainment. Now add in the fact that if you drop 1500 on a TV, you get to use it everyday, all year round. Not only that, the next season, you won't have to drop 1500 again to view your favorite team. Investment wise, this is a no brainer.

I mean lets just be honest/point out the obvious here. Once Snyder knew we were getting RG3, he saw more than just he's a great player. He saw reasons to increase ticket prices and parking, because everyone wants to see this phenom. One day when we win the super bowl, all you season ticket holders better be working overtime, because those tickets will be ridiculous.

But all this doesn't matter to me because I'm very happy watching them in the comfort of my own home for the same price every year.

I enjoyed my experience this past year in stl but honestly I'd rather watch at home.

Be careful what you wish for with the new stadium. A new stadium will also bring even higher ticket prices along with the biggest fan ripoff of all time...the PSL! FedEx was built before owners came up with the PSL idea. I dread the day when the skins build a new stadium...Snyder gets a new toy and I get the bill. No thanks...

I rather be down spending that money at Magic City

NFL games have always been overpriced. This is no surprise. Been to a couple of games as a guest or a gift and I would never pay to go to a pro game myself.

ummmmmm, with our winning the NFC East, having a bunch of stud rookie pro bowlers, the best rookie QB of all time, and fan (as well as national) attention and following at an all time high, is this really all that surprising?

Just one more reason to get comfy on my couch, and keep first row sports in my boomarks!

I have a 65 inch Vizio razor LED smartHDTV with a 32'' vizio soundbar and subwoofer in my mancave. Most wonderful television I have ever owned. I also bought a 60 inch vizio razor LED smartHDTV for my living room at walmart during their blac friday. I got the 65 inch for 1288 dollars, and the 60 inch for 678.

In terms of quality and overall performance, I think the Vizio's and Sony's are probably the top two in my book. The 47 inch Sony LCD in my bedroom has been a wonderful TV for 1 1/2 years. Samsung is a good one, but their are some lemons in the bunch.

A game at Southern Miss will drain you of some coin, too.
