TMK9973 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Let's mix it up. So I went to my cousins wedding in DC this weekend. And my uncle suprised the groom with 6 tickets, AND field passes, to the Redskins Lions games. I'll start with the field - I thought this would be cool. I had NO idea how cool! Being on the field before the game was a experince I will never forget! Walking around the field, seeing the players warming up, walking behind the benches, being able to see what the refs look at when they do a instant replay, that was a hell of a experince. Then we go to our seats in section 135. Great group. 99% skin fans. Yelled loud as can be when the skins were on D. Quite when we were on O. (Minus 1 drunk idiot who tried to start the wave when the skins were on O, trying to punch it in from the 5 yard line right after the thrash punt return.) I stood up 85% of the game, and no one ever told me to sit down. There were about 4 kids under the age of 10 close by, no one noticed. Some curese words would slip out, but nothing too bad. Kids seemed to be having a GREAT time and enjoying football. Got a few beers with no problem (One ATM machine did run out of cash). Everyone was high fiving each other and yelling. All in all, a great game, a great field, a great experince. After all the negitive FedEx fields posts, just thought I would add a good one. Some pics from the pregame....

Pete Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hey, I remember seeing you walking around. We actually walked right past each other at one point. I was the guy with the camera :laugh: Glad to see ya had a great time, and posted something nice about the place. I saw so many youngsters there with big toothy grins on their faces. I only saw one fan in the stands acting the fool to the point where security on the field gave him a shake of the head and a look to send a message. Hope you checked out my game pics thread.......

TMK9973 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 how do you go about getting field passes? Well - I did it by being a cute kid when I was born and growing up close to my uncle and then letting everyone know I was a big redskin fan and flew across country to go to my cousins wedding so when he got the passes for his new son-in-law, I was a shoe in to go with.... You can try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raub Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'm jealous! Walking around on the field at Draft Day is cool enough, but getting down there before a game would be awesome. :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
