Poll: How much money do you estimate you have spent on the "Washington Redskins" in your lifetime?

[Est.1974]

Almost nothing I guess...

But due to every night game literally being in the middle of the night over here, that amounts to alot of days leave from work over the last 20 years to recover. I haven't missed many, whether it be via AFN radio, TV or the 'net. That must amount to something right?

[Dead Money]

Too damn much Mr. Snyder... Too Damn much.

[Voice_of_Reason]

Club level tickets for three years, ga for 4 years. $20k plus. All stopped now.

['Skins_&_'Stons]

Games, Jerseys, Memorabilia & cards etc over the past two decades (I don't count my first 10-15 years when my parents bought almost everything)??

WELL over $20,000. :doh: :shot:

[SonnyandSam]

9 years of season tickets plus travel, tailgating costs, clothing, caps, time off from work, misc other stuff easily puts me over the $20,000 level. No doubt about it; it's a major commitment of money, time and energy.

[Burgold]

The scary people are folks like Pez and Huly who probably have spent over a million dollars just on chicken wings EACH season.

[SwampEm]

I bought two ST's thorugh a third party for 7 years at $100 a ticket ($14,000), I have had 4 ST's in my name for the last 3 years with parking ($10,000), I spend around $100 each game when you include tailgate food and drink plus inside food and drink ($8000). I have gone to a few random games in Philly and New York ($1000). I have 14 jerseys ($1400), and tons of random crap ($2000). That puts me at $36,400 not including random games (1 to 2 games a year) I went to before I started buying season tickets in 2002.

[S.T.real,lights,out]

I dont think i have spent more than 5K....but prob pretty close. After going to a game this year i will prob be over that.

[JPCreativelab]

i voted 5k-10k but i really have no idea. it has to be around that range though.

[skinsfan44]

I would say with being a season ticket holder for 24 years and buying many jerseys, shirts, hats, jackets, memorabilia and tailgate equipment over my lifetime it is WAY over $20,000.

[Capt. Kaos]

Not sure I want to even think about the amount of money I've spent. I smoked for 24 years and I don't want to know how much that cost me either.

if you made me I'd say that both are over the 20k mark though.

[dchesebrough]

I LOVE this question. When trying to figure the answer, there is so much to take into account. I wonder if I could calculate the amount of money I've cost my boss because of the time I've spent brooding (rather than working) any given Monday in the last two years. Its so hard concentrate after a humiliating loss!

With the above, plus actual money out of pocket at the stadium and on paraphernalia? I didn't hesitate when I voted $20000 to infinity over 30 years...

[BeefJerky]

I'd have to say between $10-15,000.00 between season tix and merch. Oh, and of course beer.

[Popeman38]

As an 8 year STH, last 2 in the Club (last year in Club being this year), plus all the memorabilia and clothing, easily into the $20k+ area. Makes one wonder what I would have done with all that money without the team....

[GibbsFactor]

I've got to be around 5K. I go to about 3 games a year and average roughly $300 for two seats each time. I love the upper deck but haven't sat up there in over 8 years. Plus the jerseys and other memorabilia... I'd say close to 5K if not more.

[Madison Redskin]

Between tickets, 6-8 jerseys, 4 helmets, a complete uniform worn by L. Coles, and other merchandise, I've probably spent $10,000.

[deags007]

Between going to 2-4 games a year and the travel, food, etc. costs I am in the $5,000 ballpark. I haven't bought a ton of merchandise beyond 3 jerseys and some hats. I learned at a young age when I bought a Steven Davis and later on Lav. Coles jersey only to have each one be gone the following year.

[corsair_joe]

Enough to kick myself over when I really think about it. If I had all that scratch back, I could fix everything wrong with my house.

[Colesfan05]

Probably right under $1k. Several jerseys, couple shirts, paid for two tickets twice with parking, gas, etc. and misc. merchandise. I certainly don't consider myself to be a person who has heavily invested in the Redskins financially.

[DGREENHULK]

Interesting thread....well I've seen it both ways growing my dad was the biggest Skins fan I've ever been around..but he spent way more time then money on the team maybe a couple hats and a t-shirt. But he watched EVERY GAME THEY PLAYED...I on the other hand try and get to 2 games a year watch every game and have enough skins memorabilia to fill a small museum. After my dad passed I started building a collection...in a strange way its like Im doing it in his memory. But if I live to be half the fan he was and pass the Skins onto my sons like did for me ill be alright. HTTR.

[DButz65]

No clue but its a lot, over a 35 year period, and the last 15 paying for the tickets myself

[FunBunch7]

I've turned down job offers if they wanted me to work on sundays...so...uh...

[Audible_Red40]

I do what I can. Road trips, mechandise, a tatoo, Sunday ticket etc.

But outside of April fools, when this site starts with membership fees, that will be a touch choice to separate from the brotherhood.

[Yeen80]

I've turned down job offers if they wanted me to work on sundays...so...uh...

And I thought I was the only one who refused to work on a Sunday

[paloosa]

Monetary value of material items is less than 5k. I have bought some merchandise but never could afford to get season tickets. But those are not as important as backing your team no matter how bad they have played. I have more optimism about the state of the team because of Allen and Shanahan. But I have some reservations because of past hopes and optimism. The Team has been remade every year with high priced Vets that were on the downside of their careers and also didn't fit the system we ran. We also brought in high profile coaches that didn't work our. But the one consistent that was always there making the trades and picks was Vinny Cerrato and Dan Snyder. So now that Vinny is gone and not making the decisions maybe the team will get back to the days of making the playoffs and being a 10+ win team. That is what we as fans have dealt with over the Dan Snyder tenure up until now and if Allen and Snyder change the culture of winning and restore respect then it is all worth it.
