Not sure, can we find a seat in RFK Dexter did drugs on?

Ok, how about this my friends, I want a seat from Fedex because Sean Taylor played there.. how's that for remembering the past?

I didn't have any RFK live experiences, so I don't have a comparison. I've only been tailgating and attending football games since '05.

I enjoy tailgating with other Redskins fans and I enjoy the game experience. I don't do it much b/c it takes a whole day away from the family since my kids aren't really into football.

Some of us have had the pleasure AND dis-pleasure of both FedEx and RFK, hands down we'd take RFK over FedEx, most of us and would do "the Danny's" bidding and shell out cash for anything Redskins... the more rare item is the more we want it, the more limited the number to be had, the more we'll pay for it.

"the Danny" knows this...

Some of those seats belonged to season ticket holders that didn't know they were removed until they were given a offer to buy "the seat", (arraignments for new seats came more than a week later)

And those party decks will make a killing.... for "the Danny" won't have to share the profits with the other owners

They can sell SRO tickets because of them and fan will drift to the party deck vendors ve fan droves. The on vendors at the 3 stadiums in Fl are behind the bar

So you have fans paying foe seats but not using the seats and fans watching the game at a bar but paying ticket prices to do so. I'm surprised it to "the Danny" so long to get on board with the decks.

Wayne Weaver figured this out about two years ago, once he promoted it, and made it a attraction, the BudZone has prevented many a blackout (a weekly even for more than a year for Jag fans) in Jacksonville (after they covered up a bunch of seats up with black tarp) and it was a part of the original layout back when it was called the Gator Bowl year round.

It the go with the planned "roof extensions there will be more for sell in the not so distant future.

I think the Danny had to test it out first before going all out with it. There was no fanfare last year when he took out some of the end zone seats on the club level, so he got to quietly test out the "Party Deck" with little or no public criticism. The club level "Party Deck" proved to be a big hit last season. Now, he can use that success to deflect any criticism that comes he way. I enjoyed my experience with the "Party Deck" and preferred it even if I had the opportunity to get better seats in the upper bowl.

Down here the BudZone shows the game and the Red Zone, so it's great for fans of neither team when their team is playing

Pick a seat. Any seat.

If we try hard enough, we can find a reason to like or dislike anything we set our mind to. I guess that's where I differ, though. I don't want to bring politics in to the only [spectator]sports hobby I have. I've enjoyed the Redskins and have for as long as I can remember. And I will continue to for as long as I'm alive. And I choose to keep it simple.

And I will reiterate that I'm glad some of you were more fortunate than I am to have experienced RFK; I'll be forever jealous of that fact. I can also respect the ability to compare and contrast and the general consensus that RFK was better; even I say it was. I remember the only games I watched on TV back in that day that shook the cameras was RFK when the stands were a-rockin. It's quite a fond memory from when I was a child.
