Season Ticket Renewals

Yeah I can understand that aspect, as far as moving the fans into the Green lots, but still the staff part confuses me.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have staff park in the RV Lot, then make the Gray Lot the RV lot? I believe the Gray Lot was one of the largest lots correct?

Probably easier for them to keep the RV lot as is instead of having to redo the Gray parking lot to accommodate RV/Buses. Also, I imagine more space is needed to park staff than to park the RVs/Buses.


Are you the insaneboost that TK and LL keep heckling on Twitter? If you are, those guys give you serious shit.

True. Guess I'm just a little puzzled (not that it effects me) because when I go up to my seats (escalator), the staff / players lot never seems to be overcrowded by any means, so I don't see why it's necessary to put them in the gray lot.

My only thought is, is because they want to add a roof / partial roof to the stadium. I've been hearing that rumor for awhile (which I didn't believe at first), but now with more seats gone, it would seem easy to add something at the ends. The players lot, or part of it would be affected if they have to have a beam come down there to hold up the structure.

Who knows though, maybe I'm just a looney looking too deep into things.

Yup, that's me. They love to give me shit, but we're pretty cool behind everything.

1) Is that the same staff parking that houses all those vendors/security/ticket personnel or is it staff like....coaching staff, media staff, and the more staff directly affiliated with the Skins? Not sure, which is why I'm asking. I doubt they'll have the peasants parking with the real Redskins staff...lol

2) That dream of a roof isn't happening. Buildings have to be build with the ability to handle such things, and I seriously doubt that JKC built that stadium with any intention of supporting a roof. Snyder's only hope is to get another stadium build, and I don't see that happening in DC with how people feel about Snyder.

I believe that's the lot they all park in because the South Gate Tunnel is where you have to get your media passes / login for work. Then again, that doesn't mean they aren't parking somewhere else either.

As far as the roof, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't FedExField built so when they closed it, it could be turned into a huge mall / shopping center? Wouldn't that mean a roof could be placed on it? Or would that be after they took some things down? Such as the upper brace that holds the seats, and adding a flat roof that way?

I would do it maybe once to see how it was, but to be honest I like to be higher up so you can see the plays develop, etc. It would be cool to give the guys "thatta boy" type stuff in the "dream seats", but I don't think the cost is worth it.

Also my alma matter(Eastern Mich Univ) sells tickets for $8-$10 and you can sit in all but the center most sections. Since the games haven't sold out since I was a student there(1988-93) it is pretty cool, as the level of football in the MAC has actaully improved over the last 10 years.

It's definitely better to sit up higher. At the games here at ECU. I have sat in the area where "dream seats" would be at the Skins games and it kind of sucked.

As to the following games where I sit here.

You can see the plays develop so much better and I enjoyed the higher up seats much more. Besides, it was fun to watch our chancellor throw out some drunk UNC kid talking smack...lol

After 40 years of season ticket holding my family decided enough was enough and cancelled. 3 months later they trade for the rights to RG3- too unfair.
Just became too painful to commute from Baltimore for a 1pm game and get home around 8pm or later. Stadium traffic is just wretched in Landover. Stadium traffic should receive highest priority by closing off surrounding roads IMO. Idky 30,000 cars leaving from one area should have to abide by a traffic signals? If only I lived in the townhouses 1 block from the stadium.

How bad is it from Baltimore? I usually tailgate, so I leave much earlier (8am) and can get to the parking lots by 9:45 latest. I live in Alexandria, towards Seven Corners.

When leaving, it takes me probably an hour if that to get back home. I always parked in the B-3 Lot, which has a back gate to leave from, which puts you on Sheriff Road.

I think that's going to change this season because of the Gray Lot being closed and everyone coming into the Green Lots, but being I get to the games so early to tailgate, I doubt I'll have a problem getting a space, but rather leaving.

Believe me though, I know all about parking. When I had the Red Lot passes, it would take a good 3 hours to get home from FedEx because of Arena Drive traffic.

over the past 7 years while living in the area, i have been to about 4 to 5 games a each season. The traffic has gotten better over the years, if you park in the lots close to the stadium the biggest problem is getting out of them. This is a problem at every NFL stadium not just FedEx. I found a cash lot about 3/4 mile away and easily walkable and after the game once i got to my car i was on 495 within 20 minutes.
