Godfather151981 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 True, but honestly what true skins fans would rather keep playing in this oversized, traffic nightmare dump in a random plot in Maryland instead of a brand new, huge jumbotrons, rightly sized (65,000-70,000), actually in the nation's capital stadium with if necessary a retractable roof? The atmosphere at FedEx just doesn't feel right. We need to play in our city not some random suburb, even if it means flattening and making a modern RFK so we can get back our home field advantage and hopefully weed out those that refuse to let others stand and cheer on 3rd downs... I agree, although you and I both know that you can't just "weed out" the wine and cheesers. How do you decide which fans get the boot? The Nationals have everything that you just described (aside from the retractable roof), but their games still have a very corporate feel. Not to mention that a new stadium would probably allow Snyder to require PSL's, which would potentially weed out even more die-hards, along with the prices of the tickets. Now if they were to build a new RFK and keep the prices right where they are now, that would be a big statement to the fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmj Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Today the Caps are the pride of DC.After how many years of being "oh yeah, we have a hockey team too" The Caps are not the pride of DC. They still do not sell out, have not won a playoff series in a long time, and get invaded by road fans even more than the Skins. DC is a football town................................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
