Posse81 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I will say that the fans at FedEx are not the intimidating group that showed up at RFK. There could be several reasons for this a) not many good Redskins teams have come through FedEx (YET), ticket prices are much higher now. But my question is can the fans return to true Redskin form when the coach has to quiet the crowd down so we don't get charged with a TO? Opposing WRs should not be able to hear the snap count. I hope this is the year that Skins fans are vocal again. Obviously the fan base is here and we are the best fans in sports. Feeback is appreciated especially from those who make it out to the games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey The Damn Redskin Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I think that those 'state of the art' stadiums are built more for comfort, sight lines, etc... The old stadiums seem to have more cozyness and brought the fans closer to the action. Don't get me wrong, if 80,000 people are screaming at the top of their lungs the opposing team will have a hard time hearing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaganaut Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I think it could be very loud if they would do two things: 1. Dress up four guys in full headdresses with drums who go from section to section and get the crowd riled up. 2. Tell the damn security personnel to stop telling fans who stand to sit down. This is ridiculous. Never will happen in philly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posse81 Posted August 2, 2002 Author Share Posted August 2, 2002 Reagan...agreed. Also, I'd love for people to sing along to Hail to the Redskins a little more and give a little love to our MONEY band...:notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsLegacy44 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Seriously, Why aren't our fans rowdy anymore? We have the largest outdoor football stadium, granted its not a dome. But RFK used to get wild and Rich stadium in Buffalo used to go nutz (10 degrees below zero). I think thats going to change. When .......you may ask? Week #2......MNF....Spurrier's NATIONAL debut. Precisely at 9:55pm (est) when Trotter blind sides McNabb while he's scrambling away from Lavar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggoDrill Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I think Spurrier will bring the excitement back, and the singing. Especially if he puts on a good show on Thanksgiving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyDave Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 ticket prices are much higher now. While its True that we have more cafe latte types instead of the Bud crowd, 80K in attendence is 80K in attendance. S Double, Smoot and Lavar will get the crowd hyped up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I can see Steve bring some serious excitement into FedEx. Norval was there for the christening of FedEx, and Marty oversaw it this past year. Steve has said that he wants to make FedEx the loudest stadium in the NFL. Granted, every coach says this about their respective stadiums, but he can bring the excitement like it's nobody's business. What was the swamp like before SS arrived?

RiggoDrill Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Marty's offense certainly wasn't going to get people shouting. Even if Spurrier loses, he'll draw more emotion from the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboykilla Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 If you guys wanted to start a special interest group on this topic of getting FedEx more loud/hyped.....I will be the GD President. Everyone knows how I feel about getting FedEx hyped as a muthaphukka. For all you knew posters, hit up the archives and look up my "Revolution" thread. It talked about not putting up with people wearing other teams colors and it also talked about getting up and cheering more. SURPRISINGLY>>>>>> some people on this board gave me a VERY negative vibe for saying this. But I am the #1 supporter of a MUCH more rowdy, loud, hyped, crazy, insane, unforgiving FEDEX FIELD.

TennesseeCarl Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I thought the Fed was modeled along the lines of the Meadowlands...do the Giants have trouble getting loud? I'm not sure the product we've put on the field over the past 8 years or so has been worth yelling over. It's definitely time for a change. I'm tired of boring football. I'm tired of playing it 'close to the vest'. I wanna have fun watching Redskin football and, other than a few rare exceptions (the 50-pointer vs. the Giants, the victory over the Rams) how often have we been treated to 'fun' games? If Spurrier's magic can be reproduced in the pros, that Fun 'n Gun will become The Hog Stampede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
