I HATE fedex field and other observations

[skinsaddict]

Hate it.

It is falling apart, ushers yelling at you for banging on seats, a damn commercial every 10 seconds. The traffic leaving was ridiculous (didn’t help because some ******* caused an accident right at the entrance to the beltway. No excuse not to show other scores for other teams or show replays.

The telling thing on the way home, I was listening to Sirius and the giants, boys game - at one point there was a large booooooo. The announcer said "well they just showed the replay on the jumbotron and the fans don't like it” I wonder what that is like?

My brothers first trip to a game and he wonders why it is painted like FDX colors, I say, because our owner is a whore. I forget what a normal football game is like - makes me almost want to stay home and watch the game in HD.

A generation of losing has created a generation of jackass fans. Its football 101 - you are loud when the opposing team has the ball - don’t try and get people to stand up and yell when we have the ball (I am talking to you section 419) The long term repercussions of not fixing this team are becoming more and more apparent. Booing when Vick got hurt was nearly the last straw for me and very embarrassing.

I just sold my Eagle tickets and had no problem letting them go. For people that say, well just give them to me...you are part of those jackass fans who just don’t get it. I paid Snyder enough for two seasons worth of tickets this year. Go to hell Snyder. Try to raise my rates next season.

This was the first game this year they didn't show the sidline away scoreboards and it really irked me. The weeks before I could understand deaf people wanted closed captioning (not really but I got over it) at least they still showed the scores in between the little scores in the coner of the jumbo tron one at a time every 15 minutes sucked. But Danny most likley did it to MAKE MORE MONEY from kangaroo t.v. ( the hand held t.v.s with Sunday ticket they sell for $40 bucks a game)

I agree--that's why I watch games from home. I don't even enjoy going.

They showed the scores just as often as they did before the CC. They also add it to the normal jumbotron a few times life they do on tv on the corner.

Every home game the atmosphere and conditions at FedEx seem to get worse and worse. Not to mention the play of the team. In 103, the fans were alright, but at times it was completely quiet. I banged on the chair in front of me as did the people next to me, but we seemed to be the only ones.

I wish I would have been able to attend just one game at RFK so I could have seen what the 12th man is really supposed to be like.

The best thing about going to the game anymore is the tailgate. I get tired of trying to get people to yell when we are on defense and not to try and start the ****ing wave when we are on offense. The Jags game was outstanding but they have been few and far between since FedUp Field has been built. But, s losing franchise will have that affect in the atmosphere as a whole. When you are winning you have the tendacy to block out the aforementioned problems.

you are LYING. i saw the scores ONCE. i had to watch that ****ing jumbotron considering the birds have a better seat than I do (yet all the yellow seats were mostly empty...)

[skinsaddict]

yeah and that kangaroo thing is crap - obvious a way to make money.

what makes me even more wary of snyder is his association with XM (the rest of the NFL stands behind sirius) and sirius covereage of the skins sucks ...connection? what do the skins spend all that money on? you would think it was the team...but nope...they only buy us crap.

Not a fan of Fed-Ex, feels like sardines in a can and the stairs are a death trap.

[skinfan2k]

i saw the out of town scoreboards every few minutes..

[Enter Apotheosis]

At this point, I'm considering selling my tickets for the Eagles game. Sure, I'll still tailgate at the stadium... but after that, I might just find somewhere more comfortable to watch it with a higher percentage of enthusiastic people.

I swear, there are a grand total of 15 people in my entire section who actually give a **** about the game.

[Uno Boss]

Yall sound like a bunch of nagging old ladies..

I have a few family mebers in line so please give up your season tickets

So they can move up faster....

How do you go to a Football game with 90,000 people and complain about traffic...

You expected to be the only one driving?...

[herb mul-key]

fed ex has no soul blows chunks and makes you feel like a robot...welcome to 200+ years of capitalism and democracy...

Danny Boy...how about some real soul in our stadium...do you have a clue? no it is obvious you don't.

Not in in the usual spot above the visitors sideline when the closed captioning wasn't going it was blank. The one score at a time on the jumbotron is a joke. The only good thing about Fed Ex is that it where my favorite team plays other than that it is a dump compared to other stadiums in the league. The Club level and Sweets are on par though.

This is the unfortunate evolution of our team.

Gave up my LL tickets this year after 45 years in the family... that's right, my family had them pre-RFK.

RFK was so unique. Sat is section 219. There was a seam on the metal flooring and when you banged it just right, the sound was terrific. Ten people could make more noise than 1000 screamers.

Don't expect the volume levels to ever be like that again. When tickets go to corporations and such, the vocal fans are kept out or left in UL purgatory where they scream into the sky.
