    I've been on the tour and it's a great tour. I can't put a dollar value on it, but I think anybody who goes on it will be really impressed with it.

    If you're gearing up for the holidays during the Redskins bye week, but haven't spiked down plans for your family photos yet, consider this offer your 'Hail Mary'. For $99, (a $199 value), you can have your own Washington Redskins-style Holiday family shoot on the field at FedExField.

    Dress the kids in their best Burgundy and Gold and choose either Saturday, November 10 or Sunday, November 11 to join a top-notch photographer on the field. (Time slots are on the hour, every hour running from 10:00-3:00 pm on the 10th and 11:30-4:30 on the 11th.) Practice your best pose, your picture will be taken by pro photographers in the end-zone in front of the scoreboard (and rumor has it, there will be a holiday message written on the board).

    After your shoot, you'll enjoy a self-led tour of the stadium, including the Redskins locker room, the cheerleaders' studio, and the club level where you'll get a chance to see the Sean Taylor locker. And when it's all over, you'll get to beef up your Redskins swag with a 10% discount at the Redskins Hall of Fame Store.

    Even better, your two high-res photos will be available to download straight from the photographer's website, allowing you to share them easily on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, in addition to printing them at your leisure. Now that's what we call a touchdown of a deal!

    Don't delay! There are only a limited number of packages available. Make sure to purchase your package today by visiting LivingSocial!





    Is anyone else just a tad irked by the whoring out of Sean Taylor's locker? This is the second email I've received in the last 10 days offering paid access to view Sean Taylor's locker. Sorry, but I find this to be lacking in class. A memorial is not something to be sold and profited upon IMO.

    This item only costs $99, but its actually worth $199. lol! The stock photos in this ad look terrible as well, sry I can't post the pics.

    If it seems like I'm piling on in this a losing football week, well its probably bc I am.
    Why is it "whoring out"? It's part of the tour; a fixture on the club level and Sean Taylor is the closest thing to a superstar that most young fans relate to. Why not give those fans an opportunity to see the locker and pay their respects? Yes, it is marketing. But damn, NFL football IS a business. How many fans get to go to the club level and see his locker?

    Why does everything about the Redskins have to be negative? It's bad enough they suck on the field.

    I'm ok with fans experiencing the memory of ST. I don't like being told that the experience to do such is actually worth twice what I'm paying for it. Those are car wash sales tactics.

    Literally, my local car wash charges $25 for a full service wash. Next to the $25 tag reads ($40 value).

    Unfortunately that is the standard practice on those online coupon sites. People always want to think they are getting a "discount" when they are buying something and companies have found that even fake discounts boost sales. A tour at FedEx is difficult to put a dollar amount on but I didn't think what they were asking was unreasonable.

    I totally agree with S&S. I don't think the Skins are trying to profit off of ST's memory. The organization has been extremely generous to the scholarship fund for his daughter and she will have the Redskins to thank when she's older for providing her with some financial stability despite the murder of her father at a young age (plus Sean's widow recently married Shay Haley - a famous musician so hopefully they will be well taken care of).

    I don't see the placement of Sean's locker in the Club Level or the tour that was offered as the team trying to profit from his death. I would rather see him memory cherished appropriately than ignored and I think the Skins are managing that pretty well. I went on the tour and it was a very cool experience that I was honored to be able to take part in.

    Did you pay the $100 to have your pic taken with the jumbrotron? It was a $200 value.

    Just wanted to tell everyone, that I watched my first game from the Upper Tier standing room on Sunday. Section 445 Row 13. I have to say, that me and my crew had a great time up there. For me, I get very animated during the games, and I like to stand anyway. It was great not having anyone behind you nagging you to sit down every 5 minutes especially when the defense is on a crucial 3rd down or you are reacting to a big play on offense. The view was much better than you would think. I like to be higher up anyway, because it gives you a more complete view of the stadium.

    I think it was a great idea to add these areas to the upper tier. Everybody in up there seemed to be really into the game. There were a few overly obnoxious drunks beating their beer cans against the aluminum table. (Which would have been fine as long as they still weren't full of beer, and it looked like old faithful going off every single time they did...which admittedly I did find pretty funny but I don't know how the people in front weren't pissed off...maybe oblivious) anyway great time. I would strongly recommend giving it a try if you are not a season ticket holder like me, are on a budget, and your schedule only permits you to attend a couple of games per year. I plan to probably split my visits to the stadium between the standing room and the club level when my budget allows.

    Are section 306 row 13 seats standing room only? Doesn't look like it on stubhub but it'd be great to get a definitive answer.

    You aren't quite behind the endzone in 306. You are in the corner. I am in 405, right above you and a section closer to midfield... there is a good 5-7 sections between the SRO and I.

    Thanks! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't buying SRO tickets by mistake. That'd be bad.

    I very much enjoyed seeing Sean Taylor's locker during the draft day party this year. It was the first time I had the opportunity to do that. I took several pictures of it and even with it and it may sound silly, but it really resonated with me. They are already paying for the tour of private access areas, I do not see the harm in pointing out that these people will also have the chance to see a fallen Redskins hero's locker. It will be the highlight of the experience for many people who partake for many different reasons.

    Is there a breakdown of the number of seats by ticket price?

    RIP Blake Fomby... You will be missed... Love you brother. Hope they keep the roof open at Cowboys Stadium so you can still watch them from up there...

    can you clarify that a little bit? I might be able to help out but I'm not really sure what you are asking.

    I'm looking for every price point for a ticket and the number of seats at that price point.

    AKA: Dream seats $400 - 4,000 seats
    Upper bowl corner $49 - 15,000 seats

    etc

    RIP Blake Fomby... You will be missed... Love you brother. Hope they keep the roof open at Cowboys Stadium so you can still watch them from up there...
