I've been to RFK and Fed Ex.

We've talked about the problem w/ the ticket brokers since the Steeler game, although the post did magnify the problem of it which included some Skins salesmen.

Maybe i'm a little older and a little more frugal now, but I just think the expense and time of going to a game is too much for me. I used to go to one game a year now I'd like to but don't always. I typically have to buy from a broker if i can't get it by other means.

At Fed Ex, the best time for me is tailgating. I'd love to go to tailgate, bring a HD w/ satellite, sit in the parking lot and watch the game. Once it ends, i'm out, and can be at home in 2 hrs or so.

If I go, it's $300+ (if my wife doesn't go) and i don't get home til 830 or 9pm for a 1pm game. That's a 13 hour trip.

RFK was more of an experience. Almost all skins fans. Cheaper. Different time. More of a "skins family" type feel that you don't always get at FE.
