FedEx Field
 

I like the way FedEx Field has natural turf. I hope that never changes. I love Qwest Field, but I just wish it was a grass field.

How many people does FedEx hold for a Redskins game? Something like 90,000?

I think you're about right. I haven't been to FedEx field before, but I sort of wish the Redskins could build a new stadium at the RFK site. Seems like they've been cursed ever since they moved operations to Maryland.

I've always loved Fed Ex field. I've never been to any other NFL stadiums (except RFK) and really have had no issues with it.

I've always had a blast, and can't remember a bad experience... even when we lose.

I wish that Dan Snyder would do something to channell all those peoples voices to the field, the way the Seahawks do. The acoustics of FedEx are not ideal.

It was awful damn LOUD at the season finale against the girls! Might of had something to do with the ass wippen they handed out to the girls. Way to send Joe off in hind sight! :)

SKINS=27
girls=6

Despite the rain and chilly temperatures, the FedEx Field parking lots filled up early in the afternoon, normally empty club-level seats appeared filled and the team announced an attendance of 90,910, a stadium record.

:eek:

Wow!

Re: FedEx Field
 

I have to say I don't like domes, but a retractable roof on the rfk site would be pretty damn loud. I think we don't need it any bigger, or we cant sell all the seats. I want it louder and an atmosphere designed for the real skins fan.

Re: FedEx Field
 

FedEx is filled with way too many corporate/lobbyists types. They don't really care about the game, it's just something to do on Sunday. It's a shame really.

Couple ?'s:

1) What is with the Bittersweet symphony at Qwest? it isn't gonna fire anyone but a kicker up.
2) With all the rain the grass would be beautiful, why turf?

1. Personally speaking I would prefer "Cochise" by Audioslave. Northwest connection with Chris Cornell, and it has a great intro that really gets you pumped.

2. I think mainly because the way they justified spending all that money on a new stadium was to make sure it would be multi-use: professional football, professional soccer, some college games, concerts, etc. They probably figured FieldTurf would be the easiest to maintain. Plus, with the Turf they could also install a very efficient drainage system that would guarantee there would never be puddling on the field during a game, even in the worst downpour. I would still rather take my chances with grass though.

Fedex Field holds 91,704 and is the largest NFL stadium. :)

Good choice. Big Soundgarden/Audioslave/Temple Of the Dog fan here.

Re: FedEx Field
 

fedex is an awesome stadium, ive been several times for skins games and it is fantastic. the only other stadiums ive been to for nfl are jacksonville (not a fan of the stadium) and new orleans (dome, dont like domes) fedex is definitely above those imo

Re: FedEx Field
 

i been to fed ex field and it is huge.also been to bank of america stadium in charlotte and you can put bank of america stadium inside fed ex field.but let me say that both are very nice.i'll say this that the fans in charlotte are the most laid back and quite i think in the league.they sit on their hands.b of a has alot of rules at their stadium.not fun.
