A few Questions....

[Redskins8588]

1.) For those of you who have ben to Fed Ex Feild, how is the seating there?
I was thinking of getting tickets but I want to be able to see the whole feild. Would it be worth buying seats in like section 428 or so?

2.) This is mostly for joecrisp, but does anyone know if joe will be attending the second mini-camp?


Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.

I will absolutely be at the minicamp this weekend. I plan to be there all three days of practice.

As far as the seating at FedEx, I've been to a few games, plus the draft day party, and there really aren't many bad seats from what I can tell. About the only place I wouldn't want to sit would be the lower endzones and lower corners, just because it's probably difficult to see all the action on the other side of the field. I've never talked to anyone who sat in those locations, so I don't know. But I've sat in the club section (near the 50) and in the lowers near the 30 yard-line, and I was perfectly happy with the sightlines from either location. Although the uppers make the players look a lot smaller, I'd imagine the perspective of the field is fantastic regardless of which upper section you're in.

Much appreciated, my man! I try to improve my write-ups every time, so hopefully this go-round will be better than the last.

I'm so pumped up about seeing the full roster (or most of it, at least) for the first time. Can't wait to see Sean Taylor out there in burgundy and gold. I'll try to get some good pics of him and the other new guys.

I think I used to have seats in 428 actually before we moved to the club level. You can see the field well no matter where you are sitting, you are up there though in 428. Your going to have a great time no matte whre you sit because youre going to be cheering your skins on!!!

I've only been once, club level 340. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, worth every penny.

When did you go, the club level has undergone a lot of changes since the stadium opened. Its so nice up there now. I went to one game where it was freezing rain, normally id always tough it out but I alraeyd was sick so I layed out on a leather sofa and watched the game there. Its nice taking an elevator to my seat as well.

I was there for the opening game of the 2003 season, Jets - Redskins. Incredible, and I'd been waiting since '79 to see a home game. I was close to tears.

[SKINSnCANES]

yea that was a great game, I made sure to fly up for that game. It was so awesome having Hall win the game. Right down to the wire.

8588. Just get seats where you can and enjoy. Nothing like seeing the 'Skins at home. Don't forget to check out the Hall of Fame store. Great photos and all the stuff in the world! Don't forget your credit card, or maybe you should depending on how much you want to spend!!!

I was only ever to 1 Redskin home game, but that was back in 1992 and it was at RFK. The game was against the Giants. It was a blast. I had one of those throw away camras and I took all the pictures in about 10min during warm ups.

[huntz]

Worst game I ever saw at RFK was 'Skins-Jets in 1993. Petitbon's season of dismay. Jets won 3-0. Actually saw a FG attempt hit the back of an O-lineman's helmet. That game should have set football back a few years!

Is 428 in the upper deck? It's been a while since I have been to the new stadium, whatever it is called now.
I went to three games in the upper deck and by the third game I did not like it. It is so high up there that it is like watching the game from the blimp. You are so far from the action, binoculars are a must.
I enjoyed the club level and corporate boxes views much better.
The lower level of couse is great.

huntz:

You are right. That 3-0 game against the Jets was an abomination.


joe crisp:

Three requests please,

1. Please report on the appearance of Brandon Noble. I know they won't be doing anything involving hitting or running at full speed, but I'd be interested to know how he is walking/moving.

2. Who are the players on defense who are behaving like leaders for that unit. There was virtually no leadership on defense last year; someone has to emerge to take that role.

3. Any chance that the #3 QB will be Tom Tupa?
