"In 1997 the Redskins moved into the new FedEx Field. A consecutive sellout streak began in 1966 and is still alive today. No other NFL team can claim that long a string of sellouts."

doesn't mention a specific number, though.

That is what I was looking for. I have been arguing with a few Dallas fans about this topic. I have read this article before, but was not able to find it when "the heat was on."

Thanks man!

rhummer,

I can tell you that if you are arguing with Dallas fans who are suggesting that they have the longest streak, tell them to get a grip. When I moved down there to work in '86-'89, they went through a period where they would barely show the Cowgirls because they weren't selling out the games. I don't remember the exact price, but I do remember that at that time, all of the ticket prices for seats within Texas stadium were the same. Not sure what genius thought that up, but whether you were on the 50 yard line, or in the nosebleed section all of the ticket prices were the same. That may have changed now. I loved it because I got a higher chance to see the skins (before DirectTV for you youngsters out there).

yep = someone just sucked all the powder off the donuts and put the naked lil doughnuts back in the bag - I hear the cops are looking at Michael Irvin's whereabouts for the evening

If the Pukes are arguing this - tell them to keep in mind that their franchise only started in 1960 so it would be hard for them to beat the Skins' 38 year sellout records...
