Things to do before the game at FedEx field?

Hi guys, I'm taking my wife and tater tots (ages 9 & 11) to our first game at FedEx field Sunday. Do you have any suggestions to make ours an enjoyable time? I'm looking for, what time to arrive, can we watch warmups from a better vantage point rather than 400 level, If we get there early can we see players pull up, where to get good food before and during game. Do they allow still picture cameras in the stadium? Thanks :lol:

Hey man you will have a blast! It always good seeing someone getting their kids interested in such an awesome sport. I suggest getting to the stadium at around 9:30 if you want to see the players arrive. They will arrive and go through the tunnel, between I believe gates B and C? Some of them sign autographs but others do not, depends on their mood I guess so don't take it personal. Not all of the players will enter this way so you probably won't see all of them. The seating ushers could be a little crabby if you have 400 level tickets and want to go down to the lower level by the wall to watch warmups. My cousin and I have lower level seats and they have been a little crappy sometimes. If you ask nicely and they see the little kids they might be a little nicer, but they are just doing their job. I guess it depends on the usher. Warm-ups usually start around 11:30 or so and full team warm-ups around 12. As for something to do, I would just walk around and let your kids and yourself take in the experience of the NFL atmosphere. If you are parking in a cash lot then maybe you could bring a little grill and tailgate? Burgers and dogs are always good. Bands will perform I think between gates F and G and sometimes the Redskins cheerleaders perform their before the game. Good luck with everything and I hope you have a great time. Let's hope the skins get another W!!!

Yep, the THN tailgate will feature three kinds of grilled sausages...italian sweet, jalepeno and
cheese and original with buns, grilled peppers and onions plus pasta salad.

Yeah, the freedom grill heats up fast and even, and cooks the food just right. The sausages will be FANtastic.

When do you all close up shop? When does the tailgate end?

I'm taking my son tommorow to the game. He wanted us to dress up like the hogettes but I chicken out. Are you serious that the Hogettes are going to be at your tail gate party. My son would really get a kick out of that. If you wouldn't mind I'd like to bring him by. Which parking lot will you guys be in. Also does anybody knows how much it is for the cash parking lots.
