HoggLife Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I'm taking my wife and 2 year old daughter to all of our very 1st Redskins Home game. So excited to see Haskins and Jones go at it for the 1st time of what should be many games they play against each other. Since we are traveling I cant bring stuff to tailgate. Is there an ES tailgate that I can chip in for food? If so what parking lot should I buy a parking pass for? Thank you all and we are excited for this game!

redskinss Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I wish I could help you out but I've only been to one game at FedEx and didn't tailgate. There should be plenty of people around here who can point you in the right direction. Based on what I've read lately about home team attendance my first thought is you may want to wear the opponents colors to prevent any chance of getting beat up by a mob.

Xameil Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 You should probably send a PM to Huly or Pez. It's been a few years since I've been able to get down there...but they at least used to run the Tailgate at FedEx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakedtater1 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Yeah usually before each game there's a tailgate thread up..congrats hogglife...

goskins10 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 This is pinned to the top of the Stadium. I am pretty sure they just have the wrong date. The Extreme Skins Tailgate info is pinned every week - just for adventurous souls like yourself. Updated with accurate link. I truly hope you enjoy the game. If you have the option i would suggest taking metro unless your kids are really young. It's about a 1 mile walk to the stadium. If not, not sure where the tailgate is but either way I would but an Orange parking pass and come in Central Avenue not Arena Drive. It will be much less crowded.

Skinsfan1311 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 You should note that this will be an abbreviated tailgate, and no bar. A few of us core members are breaking it down early, to go inside for a Fan Captain activity. There should still be a decent amount of people and food. @pez will be posting the ES tailgate thread soon. As for a parking pass, get a Redzone pass.

cincyfan Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 ES Tailgate is in REDZONE lot. When you drive in you want to head to the corner closest to the stadium as that is where we will be set up. A few of us will be going in early for a Fan Captain picture on the field but there will be other members there to help out. Feel free to bring something you can carry or donate money to our charity. See ya Sunday, Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 You are bringing a 2 year old to a divisional game in a 3-11 season? I am not sure if this is a joke post or not. You have some balls if you aren't joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, going to s Skins home game and going to New York. I'm doing all 3 of those things for Christmas AND get to tailgate with fellow ESers. The last and only ES tailgate I went to was in San Diego and it was soooooo fun. I still talk about it till this day. I just got my Redzone parking pass. Excited to see you all out there.

C'mon now..what kind of post is this?..I swear, some people....or wait is this a joke?...I'd absolutely love to make it out there for a game.. if someone came to me and said all inclusive I would do absolutely everything bending over backwards to go.. or if I even had the money I would put it up to go, yes to this coming up game against the Giants... I would have absolutely loved to seen that touchdown by Terry or that touchdown by Peterson or any other plays that happened, the strip sack recovery from defense.. lots of big plays out there I would have been ecstatic to be apart of cheering with what couple Redskins fans were there lol. Good for you Hogglife, I'm jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the guy will put him or his daughter in any danger at the game. And if they’re fans of the team, why not celebrate the holiday season by seeing a game? Doesn’t have to take “balls” to decide to do that 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKskins Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I've never been stateside so unable to help with logistics - but just to say that the ES tailgate is definitely the place to be - Rick, Pez, Huly and Jackie were all over for the UK game at Wembley a few years ago, and are absolutely some of the greatest people you're likely to meet. We're yet to make any firm decision on where we go for a holiday next year - I'm going to see if I can push an October/Christmas trip to DC to see the sights and some Redskin football, along with these amazing folks (pending the football schedule working out as I don't have any flexibility on vacation dates as I'm a teacher!).

Franklin60 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I've been to about 600 NFL games in my life (Eagles season tickets since the sixties/lots of road games too), and I gotta tell you...I've never seen a two year old at a game who didn't have a horrible time. It's cool for them for about the first fifteen minutes, but they're guaranteed to cry and complain and be miserable for the next three hours. Mom disappears for a minute to go get snacks, and then cries of "I want my mommy!" (I witnessed this very thing recently). On top of that, it's December, so they're bound to be cold too, which will only add to the misery. I don't want to say you shouldn't bring your child, but you should prepare yourself for some unpleasantness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be my daughters first football game but been to plenty of sporting events and not once did she act up or cry. She loves being around people and crowds and she watches football games with me every sunday. And she has her own seat not sitting in our laps.
