MattFancy Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 There's a debate going on in the CBSSports.com: NFL relaxes local blackout rules for 2012 season thread. So I want to know what would make you want to attend more games if you already don't attend regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logosteel Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Cheaper tickets AND consession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Tickets are already pretty cheap compared to the rest of the league. Ever tried to give away tickets in December? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superozman Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I feel the GA seats are priced very well in comparison to other sports, and especially since the Redskins haven't jacked them up. For me, I'm different than most. I live out of DMV area in Philly. Why I don't go down much is the parking situation. I hate the the cash lots, I hate waiting for a bus after the game. Expanding parking would be my suggestion. And I believe paying $40 to park is RIDICULOUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gart Monk Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I would go to more games if the team played better. I gave up a few years back when it became a chore to go. Somehow the Skins have found a way to make it suck even when they win. I see that the situation is improving and I hope to be back to FEDEX Field in 2013.

MattFancy Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 That standing section. and free parking. I'd be okay with just cheaper parking. I think the cheapest is Gray, right? And that's like $25. I know where we park in Green is $35 and that's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where we park in Green is $35 and that's ridiculous. Yeah, I believe so. We got the gray (I think?) parking once and it was seemingly like a mile walk to the stadium entrance itself. I'm really not one to complain, though, as I usually load up on beer before I head on in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazel-Ra Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I put "other" which in my case would be "Me relocating to Washington DC"...I'm a ways away. As far as the Red Zone Screen....I think people should focus on the game they are attending. If you're watching Red Zone while the team is down, how are you going to make noise when the visiting O is on the field? Just my .02 worth. PS: This is my 500th post since 2002.

I know where we park in Green is $35 and that's ridiculous. All parking (Green, Orange, Purple) is $35 except Platinum. The word we're hearing is the Gray lot is now an employee lot and all of those people were issued Green B3 parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellsMyHero28 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The atmosphere at Skins games is just so awful I really don't have any interest in going. I have been to college football games all over the place and the drunken violence at FedEx is much much worse than any college game I've been to. I love to party but I don't want to be surrounded by douchebags punching the crap out of each other while I'm watching a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructis Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I just wish I could afford season tickets. Usually when I get to go, I deal with all the other crap like parking and don't mind. I just get a thrill seeing my sons face at the games. He is grinning from ear to ear the whole time. When I go, it's just lucking into the tickets at the right time.

DaGoonie55 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Distance and funding. I live near Seattle. Both times the Skins were here last, I was deployed (civilian - not military anymore). If I had the money, I'd love to fly in for a game. If I get to go to Afghanistan for six months, I will definately save for a weekend trip and join an ES tailgate party!!!!!!

skinnyskins Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Couple of thoughts: 1) The parking lots are a disaster trying to get out (although they have been better over the past 2 years). If I pay $40 to park, I would like it to at least be quick to get in and out. Either improve public transportation in/out and fix the traffic patters around the stadium. 2) Im a huge fan of showing RedZone highlights and/or fantasy stats between plays and during timeouts. The NFL has to acknowledge that fans want access to fantasy stats and highlights at all times. 3) It would be expensive and only useful for late games, but get screens or something in the parking lot that show 1pm games. 4) Obviously the team being successful would be a big draw. It would also make it more difficult for visiting team fans to attend. 5) The prices are in line with other venues, but, the quality is terrible for concessions. Even carnivals and festivals have better food than the junk they serve at FedEx. Look at Nats park as an example, you can get Shake Shack, Bens Chili Bowl, real brats and sausages etc..

Gart Monk Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The atmosphere at Skins games is just so awful I really don't have any interest in going. So true. Im actually embarrassed to take my friends to FEDEX. I admit that I am a bit vulgar but it literally offends me to see our fans behave the way they do. Ive seen multiple fights, dudes passed out in the bathrooms and witnessed senseless vandalism in the lots. I wont drink any more than a 12pack when I go because I want to stay sharp.

Somehow the Skins have found a way to make it suck even when they win. I see that the situation is improving and I hope to be back to FEDEX Field in 2013. A better product is a big one. If I knew the team was going to lose, even if the seats were free, I don't think I'd go. Conversely, if the Redskins were going to almost certainly win. especially if it was important to win, I'd probably pay as much as I could afford. A more convenient location but I don't think we'd all agree where that would be. ---------- Post added July-3rd-2012 at 05:25 PM ---------- The atmosphere at Skins games is just so awful I really don't have any interest in going.I have been to college football games all over the place and the drunken violence at FedEx is much much worse than any college game I've been to.

I think the biggest reason for that is that we have been mediocre and/or have little hope to get better most years. Even our better years were not back-back. If we become decent with bad years the exception (like the 1971-1992), I believe atmosphere will improve big time even at FEDEx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
