I would rather have no Cowboy/Eagles fans in the stadium...why would you promote them to come to the game..even if they were bad seats.

Very true.



People that own season tickets need to do 2 things.

1. Decide if they are a fan or not, if not give up the season tickets for another worthy fan ...

I hope not. I've been posting the seat location on a couple message boards in hopes nobody will get stuck with that view (unless they are an Eagles or Cowboys fan). :)

Hmmm...just noticed that the row turned into a "1" and not the "18" that it should have been. I guess the number 8 and a ) next to each other make a smiley.

And yes, I'm sure the seats we moved from will be filled. We're only a section over so we will definately be able to check.

It's ...

Just a heads up on an update.

The Redskins contacted my dad and he went out to FedEx Field to meet with them. They showed him three areas in the new 200 level that had available seats.

The seats aren't perfect, but they are better than what we had this morning. We're now one section to the ...

I think those additional seats were a bad idea in the 1st place. He's doing a bit too much, I understand he wants to milk this cow but at what cost?

It's certainly looking like that. This really affects more than 'Skins ticket holders. What about the concerts at FedEx. Or even the VA Tech game ...

Also, the primary hook was---if you are anywhere in the lower bowl, you have priority over anyone in the upper bowl to upgrade to better lower level seats. Period.

That...and the fact that the people in the obstructed seats had an even higher priority to upgrade if seats became available - Even ...

Yeah it was. But then again...didn't the Redskins sell them all 200 seats to the same account to begin with? :wink:

I'm just saying, you should be sceptical when a salesperson who probably has never been in the stadium tells you what the view would be. The "blind faith" is that you are relying on that salesperson to know what they're talking about. Nothing is gauranteed unless you see it in person.

You are ...

The more I think about this, I'm not sure that I don't agree with the Skins.

Why would you purchase tickets that were advertised as obstructed view without going to the stadium to see them with your own eyes? And if the Skins said you couldn't do that, then why buy them? Why base such an important ...

Agreed. Leonsis is a great owner and will do whatever he can to make the fans happy (with the exception of trading Bondra). Something Snyder hasn't picked up on yet.

Here's the image from our "upgraded" seats.

Did the woman in the Green jersey have to sit like that the whole game just to see?

Yep. We moved over five seats to the left to watch the game. I feel sorry for the people who are directly behind the post. Once the season starts, nobody will be ...

We upgraded from section of row 452, row 18. Redskins side on the 15/20 yard line. Perfect view of the field.

Re: mdl70, a question

where are your seats located(row and seats)? I am in the same boat, although I won't see my seats until the first reg season game.

Just trying to figure out how bad my view will be. Looks from the pictures I have seen that the column is in the center of the sections. What row and seats are really ...

Hmmm. Any way to get a photo uploaded to this website? I have a picture of the "view" from our seats in case you want to see what the ticket office calls "one corner of the far endzone obstructed".

Hey mdl70, welcome to the board. Thanks for speaking up! I didn't read thoroughly enough, as I thought this was the Post recanting it's story. Had I been paying attention and noticed that it was posted by redskins.com, I would have had the complete opposite reaction. They are the mouthpiece of the ...

That is pretty ridiculous. Kudos to the Redskins for blocking the kick to the groin and coming back with a roundhouse to the face.

It was my dad who was quoted in the Post. The response the Redskins gave is complete B.S., at least in our case.

1. He was never offered to view the seats, even ...
