It didn't matter if the concessions were lousy, and it took hours to get home via Metro afterwards, RFK represents what Redskins football was all about.

I don't mind FedEx as a facility. The seats are fine, the concessions are decent, and there is plenty of parking for tailgating. However, what I don't care for is the empathy of Mr Rich Fan who buys his tickets and then either doesn't use them, or sells them to out of town fans.

But honestly I think instead of bitching about what FedEx isn't, we all should make FedEx the best experience we can. Get there early, tailgate, be there for kickoff, cheer loudly, stay the whole time, and tailgate some more. It shouldn't matter how well or poorly the team is doing, you're there to have fun and cheer on the Skins.

I was at RFK...and I loved the place. I just think that if we win 3 Super Bowls in Fed Ex it would at least narrow the gap. The Fed Ex bashing comes from the losing as much as anything.
