SonnyandSam Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 If I return to the D.C. Area, and if I have the time/need to do it, I'd like to help out on game day doing something like selling programs to folks walking into the stadium. How does someone get a gig like that? Does it pay or is it a volunteer thing? Those types of jobs are part time gigs. You would have to contact the Redskins and find out who their contractor is for what job you want to do, e.g. program sales, food/drink vendor, security, ticket taker, parking, etc. What is the big deal working a couple hours on game day for minimum wage? If you do look for a job, don't brag about being a Redskins fan. Others have reported that that is frowned upon. The Redskins want you focused on the job and not the game. Lots of Ravens and Cowboy fans work at FedEx Field. Trust me, they walk out after the game wearing their team clothing and jackets. I've talked to many of them.

I think I still have a slightly romanticized notion of those game day volunteers, shouting at the top of their lungs for people to buy programs, wearing the team's gear, etc. Like I said, if I find my way back up to Washington and my Sundays are free, I'd like to look into it.

USS Redskins Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Question on parking.... our favorite tailgating spot is in the orange section.

In the past years you could park in any lot "lower" than yours but over the past 2 years or so they have really cracked down and will ask you to move into the correct lot *if* they notice you. It seems to be a crap shoot most of the time. Preseason may be easier to work out than a regular season game. If you get to the stadium early, before the lots open, you shouldn't have a problem trading someone (including a scalper) a purple for an orange.

RFKFedEx Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Cash lot on Barlowe Rd. just north of the stadium. See Mark's maps. Parking rates vary according to opponent, but it's usually cheaper than stadium parking. You can avoid 90% of pre/post game traffic by using this lot. No joke. I refused to believe Popeman's recomendation for this lot for several years until I gave it a try in 2012. He was totally right. Tailgating room is plentiful. places to find cheap or free parking off-site for games? Any good ideas? I don't mind walking lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffolk_Skins Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 What's everyone's take on the party deck? That is my go to, always under $100, good view, club facilities. Prefer standing at sports games anyway. Seen a couple of near fights and it can get a little rowdy up there but overall, great option. I guess being in my twenties makes it a better choice than a family with kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB452 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Any updates for 2014 on off site (IE non-Snyder controlled) parking? I have parked in the copper/Barlowe/tailgate lot before and liked it....I/we may park there for the Browns game and hike over to the ES tailgate......

SiestaBob Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 What is wrong with the stadium P.A. system ? We couldn't understand much at all during the Patriots game - (cheerleaders, referee or stadium announcer) The P.A. on each side of the stadium wasn't in sync. One side was about a second behind the other side the entire game. You would think they would have checked this before the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One side was about a second behind the other side the entire game. You would think they would have checked this before the game. The sound system has had issues since the stadium was built. Depends where you sit. Some places the sound is perfectly fine. For example, I never had a problem when I sat in the upper level in section 424. Other places, it is distorted. I sit in the 200 section and the sound in the sections I have been in always sounds distorted. I think it is the echo from under the over hang. Skins have reportedly looked into fixing the system but it is an old analog system and changing to a digital system would require major rewiring.

RFK Lives Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I sat in 222 for three seasons and the PA was always an issue. The best games are when it was out completely.

Skinsfan1311 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 How many seats are in rows 1 and 2 of section 201,202,241 & 242? Thanks. The Redskins web-site has a great seating diagram of FedEx Field. it's called "Virtual Venue" http://redskins.io-media.com/ It's pretty slick...pick a section, and check out the views. You can select those sections, and see a virtual view of the rows that you're interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can select those sections, and see a virtual view of the rows that you're interested in. The current seating diagram is not as good as the old system where you could zoom in from the opposite side of the field and actually count seats. In any case, the answer to my original question is that there are 14 seats in the first two rows of 201,242 but the first seat is #5 and the last is #18 which is a little confusing. The ticket master site provides all this information in the "pick your seat" page for fedex field. http://www.ticketmaster.com/washington-redskins-vs-jacksonville-jaguars-landover-maryland-09-14-2014/event/15004C90ED8971D0?artistid=806041&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=8#edp_isc_display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Kaos Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Barlowe Road still $25? As far as i can tell, it depends on the game. Last year division games were $50, high profile games were $40, and the rest were $25. If we are thinking of the same lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mista T Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 For Redskins-Browns preseason game next week: is there a distant cash lot from which shuttle service is provided to the stadium? IIRC, that was the case a few years ago across the Beltway in the business park between Central Ave & Arena Drive; however, I haven't been to FedEx in a few years. Or is there shuttle service from the Grey lot? Also, does remote lot shuttle service run during the game? This is an important question to address my grandson's little legs and my bad knees.

Or is there shuttle service from the Grey lot? Also, does remote lot shuttle service run during the game? This is an important question to address my grandson's little legs and my bad knees. I don't think there are shuttles from off site lots to the stadium. Any vehicle crossing Snyder's property line must have a paid parking pass to get by unless it is a shuttle sponsored by the Skins. Taxis can't get in either. I would strongly encourage you to buy a platinum/purple/orange parking pass if you have bad knees and a young child. A green parking pass works, too, but your walk will be farther away. Parking pass are easy to buy although it will be difficult because it is so close to the game. You might have to resort to someone local, either on craig's list or a local ticket broker. You can also buy at regular price from the Redskins. Also, once on the property you can call the Redskins for a golf cart shuttle that is used for the handicapped and elderly. Call the OP hotline at 301-276-6100 or text them with your location for a pickup. Finding a golf cart after games can be difficult because of the demand.

They start at 1 and go to whatever the last seat is. As you move down in the 200 sections, the tunnel takes away space for seats. Thus, FedEx Field starts rows with seat #5 or something similar based on its location to the last row of seats against the wall. The last seat number in the lower rows will also be less than the last seat in the very last row. Not sure why they do that but they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 And that reminds me S&S, the cash lot on Barlowe Rd. is not ADA compliant. It's a big field featuring a construction grade gravel path leading to the sidewalk on Redskins Road. Def not wheelchair friendly, and it can get pretty muddy on rainy days.
