love those shoes :shock:

I normally like to get there after 10 but definetly not later than 11 for a 1pm game. You should park as close to the stadium as you can (next to the fence for the handicap lot!) and not too far from the road. If you leave at the end of the game and move quickly (you do not need to run) you can generally get out of there fairly quickly.
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance
Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)

I would take that to mean that you can't take up another parking spot with your tailgating "equipment."

That's correct. You can't take up two parking spaces; however, if there are spaces that are not marked, feel free to spread out in those areas.

Okay, I take everything I ever said about the purple lot tailgaters back. Everything! Why? Because today I switched locations and tailgated right next to Arena Drive in this lot:

There was tons of foot traffic (much more exciting) and, even better, there were a lot of people tailgating around me...two of them with bull horns blasting Eagles fans! I ask you, this was like night and day from my previous location! It was wonderful!

Now, I have decided to tailgate in this spot for the rest of my tenure as a purple lot holding redskins fan.

Oh, for this game, I also hung my banner up which got rave reviews:

So, from here on out, if any of you want to drop by my tailgate....ever....just walk down Arena Drive towards the stadium. When you get to the purple lots, look left for the above listed section. You'll see my truck (as gawdy as it is) and my tailgating set up.

Oh! And getting out of the stadium from this new location was an absolute breeze. I just pull out on Arena Drive and go! Awesome!

Yes...but unfortunately I really haven't been in the mood to "party" after a lot of the Redskins games, ya know?

By the way....you suck. I hung out with THN guys for about 2hrs before the game and about a half an hour afterwords. Justice, I thought you were going to come by. Anyways, too bad we lost but It was still a great experience.

I didn't come by this time because my spot is a lot further away now...and frankly, I'm too much of a lazy ass to walk that far so yes, I concede, I suck.

Maybe I should say you suck for not being there when I was there last week?

Nah. I forgive you. I'm forgiving like that. :D

The red lot on Arena Drive is a 20 minute walk, give or take a couple of minutes.
