Fan Appreciation Day: Priceless

Washington Football Game Day discussions for 2003, 2004, and 2005

Can you see even a sliver of the silver lining in the 2006 F.A.D. experience?

Absolutely. I am optimist.

No way. Dan Snyder is the Devil, and he uses his pitchfork to get to our wallets.

I believe they had different sized waters. I believe Ms. Terri, Trips and I only payed $3 a pop. You and JF had the fancy bottles. :D

But, it's THE OFFICIAL water of the Washington Redskins!! :up:

You can't boast that when you buy the stuff at COSTCO. It's...um...not..the same? :hmm:

I only saw one price for water at the preseason game $5.00. You could sign up at guest services and get an wrist band for a free bottle of water.
People may not remember exactly what you did
or what you said....

~BUT~
they will ALWAYS remember how you made them feel.

I really dont understand wut the problem, do u really think everything wus suppose to b free. I m not from the area, but go to plenty of preseason games in all sports and regular season games too. Spendin that much for water 4 to 5 bucks is tha norm. Spendin 15 to 20 dollars to park depenin on area is norm. Not all people get to go to Fedex Field, hell a whole car load for 25 bucks ( to park) is not expensive. For a family of redskins fans who dont get to go to the place where the Redskins play is awesome. Fan App, Ill felt apprectiated go to meet Skin chherleaders, free posters, free redskins hats, people all around me were winnin stuff, fans who dressed up got to go on to a field and try to win items. All people who entered came away with a goodie bag and autographs. Do u want evertything free. Man, moan moan moan!!! Like I said a lot of Sport Franchises dont even do this much.

Ok MonkinHOF because you and I can afford to pay the $5 a bottle for water ,that does NOT mean that everyone could.

The purpose of this day was supposed to be to let fans, who otherwise could not, see their team. If you know anything about the metro area you should know that it is made up of all classes of people. There are people who are die hard fans that came out to see this happen and the 30 bucks they had to pay for their family to keep from becoming dehydrated from the heat was a huge investment, whether you think so or not.

I'm not trying to be nasty but it's very easy for the 'haves' to overlook the 'have nots'.
