Plus, I'm not the type that gets all liquored up at games. I always have a phobia of tripping over somebody's feet or falling down the steps (lol) even sober, so I like to have my senses well intact so that I can enjoy the game and not get hurt or embarrassed...lol!
We are sitting somewhere in the 400's, around the 30-40 yard line on the "home side", upper deck. My girlfriend's D.C. friends told us exactly what you said about the 200 level seats and that the 400 level seats are actually pretty good seats. All I know is that I don't want to ever get endzone seats if I go back to a football game, because like you said, Mooby, you have to rely on the jumbo tron to see what's going on. I had that experience in Charlotte.
How early do they start selling tickets for the next season?

NP. Lots of other good advice in this thread too, since you're driving get there early and stay late. One good thing about it being the last home game of the season is that attendance will still probably be down so mayyyybe traffic won't be that bad, but if the game is pretty well attended you're in for a rough time getting out after the game. And heed Stacks' advice about the bags/backpacks/purses lol, I knew a guy who took a backpack to a Skins game like last season and he had to take the Metro back to some station near Vienna because they told him he couldn't bring it in. And you can def. try to sneak down to the lower bowl seats if the right opportunity presents itself, no need to watch the game from the nosebleeds if there are better seats available. Just be smart about how you do it. Other than that have fun.
