Great! Look forward to seeing you. The gate house is the small booth on Redskins Park drive before you get to the parking lot. There's usually a guard in the booth. We gather off the side of the road before the booth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeast Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I would like to show up with my 9 yo son. Does Gibbs stop and sign auto's for people? My son would be in awe. Is this the main gate that you pass through when headed towards the practice fields for training camp (they had a small tent selling gear next to the guard shack)? Recommendations on what to bring? Time to show? etc...?? HAIL SKINS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddrummer Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 since ive never done this before, what do we do when we get there, basically what goes on at these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 since ive never done this before, what do we do when we get there, basically what goes on at these things? You wait with the others for the buses to come out. Usually, Coach Gibbs gets off one of the buses and says hello to the fans. The players do NOT get off the buses. If you are there early enough.....you might see players going into Redskin Park. Then you wave and yell at the buses so the players can see that WE LOVE OUR SKINS!!!

Happy Holidays, we'll try and represent appropriately...I think I am going to bring the ball I got signed by the '72 team (when I was 8) ...show some old love to the Joemeister.
