11Arrington56 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I saw jbooma's post in the Snyder thread concerning the season ticket wait list people who are getting these order forms for next year. Anyone know how likely it is that there has been that many people opting out of tickets? I heard there have been tickets for sale to games this year, but I thought they were tickets that had been initially reserved for those Dream tickets or whatever. Thinking about sending for 2(I have gotten one order form and a reminder about three weeks apart), which would be $100 up front, but I'll be pissed to hear, sorry, your money is on the way back. It would definitely discourage me from doing it again.:hammer: Anybody got any idea of what is going on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooma Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 To me this sounds like a stunt so we can give Snyder a quick loan for a couple of months. I don't know what his plan is. I do know that there are not that many tickets available. Maybe his is getting money to pay off his coach, who knows :paranoid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 You can have my spot. I may regret not renewing them at some point, but I ain't shelling out another dime to this franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what is wierd here, it seems everyone on the wait list got this letter. Why??? Didn't the Jets get busted for doing the same thing a couple of years ago??

11Arrington56 Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 orlskinsfan, How bad did ticket prices go up? Can anyone give the price breakdown in the upper deck? $69 for first 12 rows from sideline? $59 for 13 on up? $54/$49 for first 12 in the endzone? $44 for row 13 on up? Is this right?? Anyone?

TK Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Could this his way of raising the money to add more seats? Or has he already added them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Arrington56 Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 Add seats? Where? These new pro stadiums don't leave much room for added sets, though I know they added some tear down bleachers between the decks a couple years back. Of course they did make colored seats for a reason. Doesn't look quite as empty when the fans are dressed the same color as the seats. Dallas will still be Dallas, but I imagine there may be a lot of green in FedEx when philly comes to town.:dallasuck :eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Ok, not afraid to admit I was wrong, but I had thought I'd read somewhere ( earlier this year?) that Snyder was planning on adding more seats to the stadium. Most likely they were to be added near the sidelines. http://www.stadiumsofnfl.com/nfc/FedExField.htm Today, FedEx Field is one of the premier stadiums of the NFL. After 30 years of playing at RFK Stadium, then owner Jack Kent Cooke envisioned a new stadium for the Redskins in 1987. After nine years of negotiations, Cooke finally found a spot to build a new stadium in Prince George County, Maryland. Construction began immediately on the stadium. Cooke never saw the stadium completed. He died several months before the stadium was completed. Initially, the stadium was named, Jack Kent Cooke Stadium. The Washington Redskins played their first game at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium on September 14, 1997. With 85,000 seats, Jack Kent Cooke Stadium became the largest stadium in the NFL. Three tiers of red and yellow seats circle the entire playing field. Two video-boards are located beyond both endzones. In 1999, Daniel Snyder bought the Redskins. The naming rights were sold to Federal Express, and Jack Kent Cooke Stadium was renamed FedEx Field. Also in 1999, $35 million in improvements were done to FedEx Field. Another $20 million of improvements were completed in time for the 2000 season, which included a new owners club suite level, escalators to the upper deck, and additional seats were added. FedEx Field has many amenities including several restaurants that overlook the field, and a Redskins Hall of Fame. Displayed on the upper level balcony all the way around the seating bowl, is the Redskins Ring of Fame that contains 40 names of Redskins players and coaches. Located above the north endzone are championship flags that commemorate the Redskins playoff history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Arrington56 Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 I thought we did put seats closer to the stadium. Unfortunately it has some guys sitting on it that we are overpaying. The leading ticket holder is some guy named Smith.:puke: I wish the guys who sat down there had more pride in playing for the Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Part of the Superbowl bid included adding around 5000 seats. Maybe Snyder decided to do it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
