We're all fans and we have no reason to doubt anyone else here.

Without a doubt, one of the most intelligent statements I have ever read on this board.

But I am still respectfull to those around me as I know they might be entertainning clients and would prefer that a few cuss words are not thrown out here and there. Fact is I typically bring my friends to the game as most of them have helped me with my current situation. This is my vice and I let loose but am still respectfull. Stop being such a selfish bastard and understand there are others around you.

P.S. Do they have a humidor room?

I love people like u ...thats why you go to a game imagine someone telling a fan to shut up during a football game...stay the hell home and watch it on tv if u want quiet.....12th man damn right yell loud and long on defense anyway.... you keep it up yell loud there was a fan with me i was singing hail to the redskins him and i were singing it loudly people looked at us like we were crazy we just sang louder

As far as standing up, I'll admit it gets somewhat annoying when someone directly in front of you blocks your view. As far as noise goes, unless you're really short on tact and spouting obscenities it's foolish for anyone to say anything. Regardless on if they're bringing a client to the game or anything else it is your right, and even your duty to make as much noise as you can, especially in critical situations. If you don't want to deal with noise, don't take a client to a sporting event. There's a reason home-field advantage means so much in the NFL.

I’m sure many of you have read this article from the front page of the Post on Monday; if not check it out, it is very relevant to this discussion. The thing of it is is that I think both the rowdy and the not so rowdy fans have a point. The last thing I ever like to see at any sporting event is a father deciding if and when he and his 6 year old son have to leave the game because the crowd is yelling obscenities rapid fire; however, there was no greater feeling than making FedEx feel truly unwelcome for the Eagles and Raiders fans. I have to admit, I’m a bit jealous of the Eagles fans for having a stadium where opposing fans are not only reticent, but scared to come there (they beat up Chief there a couple years ago!). It’s a very tricky balance, too boorish and it’s a bad scene for the kids, too nice and opposing fans wind up outnumbering the home crowd (ie. any Wizards-Nicks game where MCI sounds more like Madison Square Garden). Where I completely disagree with CRT3 is on the fact of who I care about hurting if I become rowdy. As said before, it hurts me to see kids with their dads feeling scared about out-of-control rowdy fans (which to be fair to you, you mentioned as well), but I could absolutely care less about the feelings of those who come to a football game to close a business deal, business deals are for baseball and basketball games. You are correct; this is the big money world in which we live and that’s life, but when the fans get a chance to scream their heads off for 8 days a year, give them a break will ya, you're a big boy...

Ive had club level seats since the stadium opened. I have handicapped seats, so theres no one in front of behind us so I stand and yell the entire time we are on defense without blocking anyones view, its sweet. I also found a way I can smash the seat up and down in a way to make a lot of noise for goal line stands, lol.

And for whoever said they should free up the club level seats for the real fans...well theres still club ticket seats available. They dont count against the sell outs and the wait list. So my friend, ya just gotta pony up the dough to mr synder and they are all yours and you can go and yell all you want.

I said "they should free up the club level seats for real fans", the reason I started this thread is that I was in the club level to "test the waters". I have upper level and wanted to move to better seats, next year. I know there are seats still avail but, after the way I/we were treated in that section, I am not sure I wanna pony the the $7K that the danny is asking me to pay for the next 2 years. The seats are great, of this there is no doubt, but if I wanted to pay a bunch of money to sit somewhere quietly and be uncomfortable, then Id get season tickets to the opera. Also I am not downing the fans who sit in that section who cheer and root for the Skins, I wanted to make that clear. I just feel that if you are going to spend the time and money to go to the game, as a Redskins fan, you should cheer them on! and not hinder others from doing the same. Home field advantage is what its all about, afterall we are 4-1 at home and 1-4 away, think thats a coincidence?

This thread demonstrates why I prefer college football to pro. It's not the action on the field - I much prefer the complexity and speed of the pro game - but the atmosphere in the stands. Nothing like 100,000 piss drunk alumni and students just letting the other team have it.

Come to Beaver stadium where I went to school and ask someone beside you to quite down....see what happens...

So a high number of people choose not to embarras themselves in front of a client or a client not to embarass himself either. Those are the facts as it is the reality of the world we live in. Second you do not have the right to stand up and block the view of others who have paid for their seats. You can be loud and cheer like mad when our defense is on the field but to block the view of a little kid or eldeerly person is wrong. This is not RFK but trust me when it is loud it is pretty crazy.

I decided to quote myself since the previous posters failed to read what I had written. I am not saying shut up, cheer as loud as you can. What I am trying to say is the facts are the seats cost a few pennies and typically the average crazed fan won't pony up the money. So most of the seats are taken by businesses looking for an expense. You use them to entertain, that is the cold facts of it, just that simple. I am just saying respect those around you just like you would in Upper and lower seats. Nobody likes a rude asshole, but you can never complain about someone supporting the home team. Hey its not RFK but it is what we have.

I'm with you on this CRT3. The reality is that the Washington Redskins are a business, like all other sports franchises. And many of the seats are used by companies looking to impress clients. And the more the clients are impressed the more the companies will thank the Redskins by giving them more money. And money talks. Money allows the team to give big signing bonuses, add stadium amenities, etc.

We as the 12th are supposed to give the skins a home field advantage by making it hard for the opposing teams to even think. I will never sit in the club level again! Those people suck, most of the friggin seats were empty cause all of the assholes who own those tickets are to busy in the "walk in humidor" to come out and cheer for their team. Snyder should give those tickets to real fans and get those hoity toity assholes out of there.

The Biggest NFL stadium in the league, and thats the way DC role..........I would love to piss those people off....thats like going to the playboy manison and told dont look............Listen I stay in Texas....you hear me, and I go to Bars where there are nothing but Cow bitch fans....and I never be quiet, expecially when the skins are winning, I say you go again, and next time.. you tell them to shut the **** up
