Mickalino Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 1) It's going to be shivering cold tomorrow - not Tampa-like weather, even for winter-time. And we all know the Bucs can't play in low temperatures. But the Redskins are all about playing in the cold. 2)There will be a LARGE contingent of Skins fans, to turn this town into Redskin Country, Sounds to me like a home game for the Skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamingwolf Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 will buc fans not show if its cold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 will buc fans not show if its cold? Believe it or not, I have actually heard some buc fans mention they won't be going, due to a combination of the weather, and the fact they'll be in the 3rd level, where the temperature will probably be even colder than the rest of the stadium.

Joe Gibbs II Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I would think they would show, give them some benefit of the doubt. If it was raining i think there would be less people. I dont think the skins are all about playing in the cold, but i love how being where we are we get a good taste of the cold and a fair amount of warmth. Everything in moderation.

SkinFan63 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I think the Redskins can play in any weather. Cold playoffs, and warm Super Bowls. As for Tampa.......... Probably can't play at 100% in a playoff game in weather under 80 degrees. Super Bowl? Oh yeah.....Tampa has NEVER been to a Super Bowl. Hail!:point2sky In GIBBS We Trust!

Mickalino Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 I'm seeing temperatures tomorrow in the high 50's. Am I missing something? A couple things : The high 50's are just the "high" of the day - which is early afternoon. By the time the game is in full swing, it will be in the high 40's. The temperatures in Florida feel colder than they really are, for 2 reasons. 1)The people's body's aren't accustomed to it, since most of the time, it's warm. 2)The high moisture and humidity drawn from the Gulf and Bay water makes 48 degrees feel a LOT colder than it would up north.

IM A REDSKIN FAN Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Tampa has NEVER been to a Super Bowl. They won the Superbowl in 2002.... Tampa's fans are stressing those goin to the stadium to scream and make the Redskin fans feel unwelcomed....they think Raymond James is the best venue in the NFL :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Punani2 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I'm seeing temperatures tomorrow in the high 50's. Am I missing something? This is around the coldest time of the year for FL. Highs in the 50's is about as cold as it get's there in the winter. When you are use to highs in the low-mid 90's and jungle humidity most of the year that is butt cold.

TD Riggo Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 You know .. I'm a 4th gen Floridian and I'm sick and tired of all these whiny ****s that complain whenever it drops below 70-degrees! Pansies. Then again, when I go on vacation, it's to the mountains or snow skiing. I HATE hot weather! If they don't show up in 65-75 degree temps to support their team, then the Yux deserve to lose!

s0crates Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 . . .and make the Redskin fans feel unwelcomed....they think Raymond James is the best venue in the NFL :laugh: There will be a large contingent of Redskins fans there. I don't think they'll be intimidated. In defense of Raymond James however, I must admit the pirate ship is pretty cool. (Of course, if they had more demand for tickets they might put seats there. I know the Danny would). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Everyone said the Linc would be "full" of Skins fans but it seemed like the Philly contingent showed up loud and proud. I'll believe it when I see it(the Skins fans that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roulette Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 You're never going to outnumber an away team. At the Linc, you could hear the skins fans on TV at several points. Every skins fan in the stands is one less making noise when our offense is trying to get a drive rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tastes Like Chicken Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Actually, I went to the Arizona game and there seemed to be more Skins fans in the stands than Cardinals fans. I also went to Philly last weekend and there were a good number of Skins fans there too- even on the Eagles side where I was (lower level row 1).

sknsrbck26 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I think there will be alot of skin fans there...I wish could go!!! It won't be a home game but it is as close as it can get (unless it's the giants/Saints game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibbsISourSavior Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Oh, and dont forget about the 15mph winds @ gametime. I lived in DC for 30 years, been in Tampa for 12 and let me tell ya, 50 degrees with 15 mph winds is frickin cold to me now-a-days. The Skins will feel right at home and dominate :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have ever been in the stands at a game when the sun isn't shining and the wind is blowing and it's 45 degrees, you KNOW it feels cold baby.
