Idaho fan Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I probably would... but then Im in Idaho and only get to see the team in person once a year when I travel to an away game. Ive never been to a training camp and would like to one day even if it meant shelling out a few bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbias Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 People have stopped going to games. Why would they pay to go to a practice? Simple supply and demand. Eagles have lowered the 'supply' of practices that fans can attend and they have ample 'demand' from their fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Nope, no need to rehash the above arguments stated by everyone else. I've gone a few times over the years and each time I was more and more bored watching it. I would not like any idea of paying to get a better view; it just simply makes it harder for people who cannot otherwise afford it and get stuck with less opportunities for a free view.

KevinthePRF Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Didn't Snyder do this in 2000 for one year and then canned the idea because it was a disaster? There was a reason beyond just digging deeper in fans pockets that made him ax it but I don't recall why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be because then, scouts from other teams could come and watch your training camp practices if you charged admission. They've since dropped that rule, but that might be why he stopped it then. Not to mention all the harsh criticism Snyder got for charging admission might of had something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 This team is a joke in the regular season, what makes me want to watch them practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy Yoda Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I would be embarrassed to even be there. There's gotta be something you can do besides watch grown men stretch and catch a couple of footballs for an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Vet Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 No chance Lance. As others have said, I'm no longer paying to go to games and wouldn't entertain driving to Richmond to watch training camp for free; much less pay to do so. This will be year 2 that we won't be going to any games. It was probably one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I should have pulled the rip cord much earlier than I did.

It really is a freeing feeling isn't it? Last year was the first year I didn't attend any games and I never felt so relieved. It's amazing what you can get done when you don't tie up an entire Sunday going to FedDump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the part that has worn on the fan base. Every time we feel hope the team puts a toll booth right in front of it to ensure they are getting every dollar they can. It's hard not to feel like they would identify the fan base going to free events and determine it's a 'marketable opportunity' and then start charging for access, parking, expired bankrupt airlines peanuts, etc...

hatchetwound Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 How greedy can you get. You win one superbowl, ONE, and you think you can start gouging the fans??? Deplorable. And you KNOW they are limiting to just one practice to drive up demand. Slower supply, higher demand = more $$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way it was about a decade ago when we charged for training camp and was the primary reason given for ending the experiment. Not sure if that rule is still in place. That rule changes a few years ago. Now it’s off limits to opposing scouts no matter what. ———- I hope the eagles get roasted for thi for 20 years like Snyder has been. I swear there are some fans who still hold that as a large piece of evidence against Snyder, and it was on 2000. Put another way, if you were an elementary age kid who had to pay the $10, you’d be around 30 now possibly with kids of your own... it was that long ago.

Malapropismic Depository Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 A lot of fans are no-showing regular season games after paying for tickets. So no, I don't think they'd pay to see TC. I would never even pay for a Preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraveWarrior Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I wouldn't pay to go, and I probably won't be going at all until they bring camp back to Redskins Park, or somewhere closer than Richmond. Hopefully that will be in the next couple years. My twins are 4 now, and I need to start indoctrinating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie411 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Just got back from Training Camp. First time ever going, been a season ticket holder for 9 years. We went on a charter bus the Redskins took from Fedex Field this morning. Was pretty nice, they provided Breakfast and Lunch and gave us VIP passes at Training Camp. There was only about 25 of us. Would definitely do it again if they decide to do this next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander -JB- Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I wouldn’t even pay to see them play a game let alone a practice. You’re talking practice?? Not a game, but practice? You’re talking about practice?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeJacobyHOForRIOT Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I voted NO but truth be told as someone who lives out of state if i happened to be in the "area" and they charged yes I would absolutely pay. If i was a local then No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
