thebluefood Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 "Way out in PG County?" It's 8 miles and roughly 15 minutes from RFK. And it's still inside the beltway. Yeah that kind of struck me as odd... Kind of like the people who say "Bring the team back to DC" as if the stadium is on the other side of the country or something. Most stadiums are always just on the outskirts or farther from the cities they represent anyway. Anyways, no matter where the stadium is, people are going to be traveling "Way out" to see it, because of the size of the fanbase. People should feel fortunate. Imagine being a fan of the Niners/Raiders and you live in SoCal or something Okay, maybe "way out" in PG County is a little much, but I'm not a big fan of stadiums in the suburbs. One of the things I love about Nationals Stadium and the Verizon Center is that you can step off the Metro and basically be there at the stadium. They're right there *in* the city. Not so much with FedEx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, in the mid 90s when they started moving back into the cities, the Redskins moved out. They found that having things around the stadiums helped also.

I hope the same thing happens for the Redskins in the coming decades. I don't have anything against FedEx really, I just like the idea of the Redskins playing in the city they represent. Washington is a special case since you can't really build a football stadium in the heart of the city like you can in other cities. I'm not even sure where they'd put the team exactly. Maybe the part of town where RFK Stadium is will be a little nicer by the time the lease at FedEx is up and they can build a new stadium there.

mbws Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The Warehouse! That was my first impression of MetLife when it was built. It's nice enough on the inside, but the outside looks like a warehouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Obviously the site where Fedex is located is great because it has alot of room to tailgate and it is off the beltway. What is poor is the way to get in and way to get out from the parking lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 how about Snyder's folly or Danny's cash cow of what i've heard it not far from the truth Where did you hear that? Can you elaborate? The Redskins are the 3rd most valuable NFL franchise, and the 8th most valuable franchise on the planet. The stadium is a money-making machine.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I really like The Fed. It fits as both a nod to the US government in DC and FedEx. It doesn't always have to make perfect sense ie The Linc for Lincoln Financial Field. I think The Fed is on par with that at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romank Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 how about Snyder's folly or Danny's cash cow of what i've heard it not far from the truth Don't know what you've "heard" but as a STH for the last 7 years the improvements I've seem Dan Snyder make to the stadium over the years have greatly improved it over what he inherited when he bought the team.

skins island connection Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 What happened to the days of RFK Stadium, Riverfront, Three Rivers, Mile High, Candlestick Park, and all the others? Advertisements are the name of the game today; corporations just gotta get their name on the stadiums. The newer fans would be absolutely lost if there was a flashback with Brent Musburger and his "You Are Looking Live" bit. For awhile, "MoneyPit" would have fit perfectly, with players looking for a paycheck. I miss RFK... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
