FedExField: The Redskins Ask For Volunteers

[Mark The Homer]

The Redskins are looking for a few good fans.

The team would like to improve the quality of game day at FedExField. They are going about this in a number of ways, one of them being they'd like to try to curtail the disruptive behavior of the few fans which leads to the taking away of the enjoyment of the game for so many other fans.

What the team would like to do is enlist a force of fans scattered throughout the stadium who would be willing to immediately report any unruly conduct within their area - whether it be a fight, intimidating behavior, physical harassment, excessive intoxication, offensive language, or anything else that is disruptive. The idea is, any unruly behavior would be reported right away via text or cell phone, and security would be dispatched immediately, as needed.

If this is something you'd like to volunteer for, please contact either Pez or myself by PM.

Thank-you.

Thanks Mark for posting this.

For anyone who comes on a continual basis to Fedex Field, you should definitely take part.... it is as simple as a quick text, call or email.

Lets make sure the stadium is a great place for all of our fans!

Mark, I would be more than happy to assist as a volunteer usher/bouncer/greeter etc in exchange for admission. Do you forsee a need for such a thing?

[Mark The Homer]

In exchange for admission?



No, sorry.

The Redskins are looking for people who are already attending the game, particularly folks who attend a couple games or more during the course of the season.

What it essentially adds up to is, that they would like to form a sort of "Neighborhood Watch" support group, as even though they have quite a few security folks in the stadium, they can't see everything all of the time.

This group would not only assist with this task, but would also have input on what would make our gamedays better.

As much as I love to talk **** about Dan Snyder it can only help the stadium going experience if more people police the truly bad behavior of others. I'm not talking about drinking too much or standing up during a play - I'm talking about starting fights and swinging fists.

I am interested in this, not sure how this would work differently than what the team has now, but willing to hear the details.
BTW, If there are any sections on the lower level between the 30's that need watching (other than the cave), I would be happy to have my seats relocated.

BTW, MTH and Pez, please make sure your PM inboxes have room.

At the draft day party, they had an info booth for game day workers. I asked how much it paid (min. wage) and if the cheerleaders needed a water boy (the woman at the booth said they did).

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

That's a step in the right direction.

Kudos to the Redskins for starting the ball rolling in finally being pro-active to these problems.

Hail.

I'd probably volunteer if I was able to make games regularly, but sadly, this is not the case anymore. Are volunteers issued nightsticks?

Sounds like a great idea. Sending PM...

[Skins4life88]

I'm pretty sure this text based watch system is already in place. I've seen notices throughout the stadium.
