Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 August 16, 1992. Wembley Stadium, North London, England. Pre-season American Bowl match-up between your World Champion Washington Redskins, and the other team of the '80's, the San Francisco 49ers. 61K or so in attendance, including an excited as all heck 17 year old GHH. 'Skins lead 12-0 at the half, fell behind 12-14, went back up 15-14 in the closing minutes through a long Chip FG. Then lost 17-15 in the dying seconds through a long '9ers FG. But I wasn't bothered a bit as I got to see Ryp complete a long bomb to my childhood hero Gary Clark before Coach pulled them in the first qtr. I was in the same stadium as Coach Gibbs. Awesomely magnificent in itself. And I got to see the hang over from my favourite ever Redskins team, the '91 version, in one of, if not the most iconic sporting venue in the World. Happy days indeed. Hail. *Edit* Oh yeah, that Steve Young dude could play a bit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emor09 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 My first game was week 17 against the Vikings in 2004. Ladell Betts played a great game, Sean Taylor shut down Randy Moss deep a few times and Moss walked off the field early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asianskins Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Mine was vs. the Jets at RFK circa 93 or 94. Jets won 3-0. Yep.First game at Fedex was 41-35 vs. Cowboys (Rocket Ismail). Yep. Oh, what a small world! I still remember that game. Me and my son ( back then he was just a little boy), it was our first game ever. It was rainy and cold. With a few seconds left, the Jets kicked the field goal and won that game 3-0. What a broken hearted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskin faithful Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I've been a Redskins fan my whole life but my first game was on November 29, 1998 when the 3-9 Redskins traveled to Oakland. It was pouring rain that day. That season was a tough one for the Redskins but they came out on top that Sunday 29-19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 1982- Strike Year. RFK. Upper Deck, I was 14 years old and my great aunt was sick so my great uncle called me to go to the game. Cold and rainy about 50 degrees. He brought 2 themoses, one with coffee and one with hot chocolate. Redskins beat the Eagles 13-9. Charlie Brown caught a long TD pass and the Eagles missed an extra point or could have tried to tie it at the end. Sloppy game on both sides. 1997- At Fed Ex- Again, raining (I always seem to get weather), Testeverde and the Ravens beat us 20-17. Not only was it raining, but the light stanchon kept water practically running down on us. We had a stupid Ravens fan that kept blowing a "duck call." Dumbass couldn't even get the right bird call. By the 3rd quarter, we were soaked and miserable and my Mom threatened to shove the duck call down his throat and he stopped blowing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Although I have no memory of it, my first game was a 27-10 Skins win over the St. Louis Cardinals at RFK in 1985. I was 6 months old. The Skins would go on to finish 10-6 that year but miss the playoffs. I was at that game. We scored tickets from the woman my mom babysat for. They couldn't go and gave them to us. We were underneath the upper deck in the lower deck near the big clock and budweiser sign. Monday Night Football.

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 2000 vs the Ravens (the year they won the SB). Skins won 10-3 on a long TD run from Stephen Davis. I've been hooked ever since...been to tons of games since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 1992 at RFK vs. The Falcons. Awesome game. Desmond Howard scored his first TD on a gadget punt return, Deion took a 99 yd KO return to the house, Michael Haynes outran Darrell Green (sill blows my mind), and my favorite player of all-time Gary Clark scored a TD right in front of me. And of course...we won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMUSkins Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I attended my first game in 2007. It was against the Lions.....HOT as Hades...

Stugein Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Oh dear lord, and you went back. Yeah it was pretty brutal. Worst part was that the 3 came on a Jets field goal in the first quarter. It was followed by a 3-quarter-long cripple fight.

Don Finch Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 First game was in 1961 at what was the brand new DC Stadium against the Eagles. I was 7. Parents and I walked to the ticket window and paid $6.00 a ticket about an hour and a half before the game. Rookie sensation Norman Snead threw a TD with a little more than a minute to go and pandemonium ensued. Eagles QB Sonny Jurgensen threw a TD of his own with seconds left to give the Redskins one of 11 losses that year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLZW1N Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 My first game was in 1999 against the Bears. Skins went ahead 45-0 in the 3rd quarter, highlighted by Dan Wilkinson's 88 yard interception return for a TD in the 1st quarter. Just absolutely an amazing time. This was my first game ever too! even at 10 years old I have trouble remember anything about that game but the one thing I do remember is that INT.

Skins4Life6388 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 First game for me was at Fed Ex against the Titans. I believe it was a Halloween night game, and probably late 90's or early 2000's. I remember Samari Rolle returned a pick 6 right as the first half expired and it was down hill from there. First game I vividly remember was against the Vikings at FedEx, when Randy Moss left the field with like 30 seconds left on the clock haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Kaos Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 October 13, 1997, Jack Kent Cooke Stadium, Raljon, md I sat in section 104, row 1, seat 14 Dallas Cowboys visit the Washington Redskins for the first monday night football game in the new stadium. Redskins won the game 21-16! It was by far the most exciting night of my life. I was giddy like a school girl for weeks before the game and was nearly unbearable on game day. Emmitt Smith ran out of bounds right in front of me and I cursed him with everything I had in my body. Highlight of the game was Leslie Shepard grabbing a 48 yard bomb right in front of me. I don't think I will ever lose this memory. The only Redskins memory that come close is the playoff game vs. the Lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 First live Redskins game ever was a preseason game at RFK against the Steelers in the mid-70s. First regular season game was the 1982 opener against Philly at the Vet. Sat in the lower endzone, Eagles were ahead 27-14 after three, Skins came back to go ahead but then the Eagles did the same, but Moseley nailed a long FG at the gun to send it to OT, and then won it. Exciting start to a season that, although interrupted by a two-month strike, turned out to be a magic carpet ride. First game at RFK was 1986 against the Giants. Sat in the upper deck end zone. Both teams 11-2, but the Giants controlled us that day 24-14. Even after we beat Chicago in the playoffs, had no confidence we were going to beat NY in the NFCCG, especially after they beat San Fran 49-3. First JKC/FedEx game was in 1997 against the Jags, which we won. Flew back from Hawaii the day before. Have been to at least 90 percent of the other games at FedEx since.

balki1867 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 October 12, 1992, just after my 12th birthday. The Redskins easily handled the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football. The highlight of the game came at the end when Art Monk caught 3 straight passes to (at the time) break Steve Largent's alltime career mark for receptions. I was sitting in the endzone (above the Budweiser sign) in a tiny section that was below the upper deck (the M- sections). At some point the people who designed RFK realized that entire piece of concourse looked over the field and they added what was basically 5-10 rows of bleachers with a metal wall separating it from the concourse. Anyways, we were sitting against that wall and my ears were ringing the whole game because people sitting in our row were pounding on the wall to make noise.

LetThePointsSoar Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 One of these days I'm gonna take the time to write out the long version because it's a very cool story....but my first game, to which I wore Sean's jersey to, ended up being the last game ST21 ever played, 11/12/07.
