As noted in the OP (which I looked up just now because I don't have all this stuff memorized), rows 10 and 15 on the aisle could possibly have a glass or railing issue. Other than that, you should be good to go.

Cincinnati.com is reporting new security procedures for Paul Brown Stadium that are being mandated by the NFL...so presumably this applies to FedEx Field.
No more pat downs and no more separate lines for males and females. Fans will now be scanned by wands. Fans will be required to hold keys, cell phones and other metal objects in their hands.
Again, I don't know if this applies to FedEx nor if the Skins might do a pat down in addition to the wand.
Bump. Mods I am not doing this to spam, but rather to encourage people to post here about changes to the Stadium with the Green B3 parking, new party decks and reduced capacity.
Let's all help Mark get this valuable resource up to date for 2012-2013!
It "officially" started with the Eagles game... I remember joking that it was for their fans. But you didn't notice much of a difference due to the hightened protocol for the 9-11 game against the Giants.
I think they still gave you a quick pat down though and there were separate mens and womens lines... I don't remember 100% on that though.
I am trying to find some info on the new upper level standing room sections and how they are set up. Does anyone know if they follow the same logistics as the lower level end zone standing room areas? specifically the 2 rows per standing area set-up. I am buying some tickets and really would want to avoid standing behind someone instead of having a rail/ledge in front of me!
Thanks in advance! HTTR

Ok, so in case anyone has been looking for info regarding the upper level standing room areas, I just talked to the redskins TO and confirmed some things:
- Upper level SRO sections start at Row 9 ( This means that odd numbered rows would be more desirable as they would be the "front" row of each area)
- Two rows per standing area just like the lower level party decks ( Odd rows in the front and evens standing behind them)
Hope this is helpful to some fans.
Just to be clear on the SRO decks, there really are no lower level party decks. The SRO party decks are on the Club Level and the Upper Level.
Re: the wands, I think it depended on which entrance you used to get in. They had the wands at a few entrances towards the end of last year. If you did not go through an entrance with a wand, you were subjected to the usual thorough full body pat-down.
Re: B3 Parking, it started last year but with the Skins poor record and lower attendance it looked to me like it wasn't really enforced. I saw numerous people with Green B3 passes parking in the regular Green lots off Redskins Rd. and Arena Drive. I have a feeling that it may be more strictly enforced this year with the interest in RG3 likely causing an uptick in attendance. I am really hoping the reduced stadium capacity will help alleviate the parking issues that always seemed to arise whenever we hosted a NFC East team.
Of course, we won't know the answers for sure until 8/25.
I dont know if it's true or not, since the ticket office will sometimes give different answers depending on who you talk to. But when I talked to the TO they said that the SRO decks are labeled as 2 rows because the space of each deck takes up two regular rows of seats. They said that the tickets purchased are for the "front side".
I guess the back side of deck are for non SRO ticket holder just to come and hang out, though if you have a seat ticket I'm not sure why you would want to go and watch the game behind other people.
I think a lot of the UL SRO people are going to use the tickets as a $29 cover charge to get in to the lower level end zone bars. There really won't be anything to stop this. The endzone bars are overcrowded as it is. This is going to make it worse.
I have talked to a few of my friends that have purchased them, and they plan on using them to see the game. If the season goes south and attendance goes down, they will no doubt look for no shows in the UL and just sit there.
I couldn't think of many worse places to watch the game besides a LL endzone bar. You would have a much better time hanging around outside the stadium, there are several groups of people who tailgate and then watch the game from their big screen TV's in the parking lot instead of going inside. Cheap beer and food. A few have really nice setups and do it every game.
The LL bars will always be a zoo if you go at the beginning of the game or halftime, but they are always less crowded if you go during a TV timeout.
