How many Skins fans expected up here?

Post by Tacoma Redskin »

Does anyone know approximately how many made the trip to Tampa? I'm hoping to see lots of burgandy & gold at Qwest Field Saturday.

This is a dream come true that the Skins are comin up here for the playoffs. I've been a lifelong Skins fan since '71 when I was 6 years old. I grew up in Utah, no geographical connection whatsoever. I just started liking them (I dont even remember why) and I've stuck with them ever since no matter what the record.

The Hawks have a great team but I'm feeling good about this one. I'll say 27-21 Redskins

By the way...How's the view Dallas???

How have ticket sales gone among the Seahawk fans?

I'm sure they're amped up to be in the catbird's seat, with The Road To Forty going through Seattle.

Tickets are scarce

It's my understanding that the only tickets out there so far are the ones picked up by season ticket holders.

The rest go on sale Monday morning internet only. I believe it's at 10AM Pacific. I didn't want to risk that. I was able to get a single for $105 on ebay in the nosebleed seats.

I hope the Hawks are as overconfident as their fans!

Before yesterday many were saying they didn't want to face the Redskins. Now they are acting like we'll be a pushover. I think that ugly win is the best thing that could have happened to us. Suddenly everyone forgets that we scored 35,35,& 31 the 3 weeks before that.

I see it being about 27-21 with the Hawks getting a late meaningless touchdown to make it look closer that it really was.

I don't see hasselbeck being able to do much against our D, and there's no way we play as bad on offense as yesterday.

Seattle doesn't have the NFL's no. 1 Defense to put on the field against us. They can assume that next week's performance will be on par to this weeks if they want.

Bucs fans wanted to play that team in Texas until they were eliminated from the playoffs, then they said they'd beat us like they did the first time. Fans will be Fans.

I was at the Bucs game and I wish I could go to Seattle but no such luck. but if skins make it to the NFC championship game and it's against Chicago I have club seats at the 40 yard line about 12 rows up. So I am praying for a Skins/Bears NFC game.

I agree...and Seattle's defense is nowhere NEAR Tampa Bay's so we should do okay.

I was going to go but airfare is $500 alone from Los Angeles and I don't even want to see what the hotel and game tickets will be. Christmas and my wedding was really expensive this past year.

When have Seahawks won a playoff game. I think I saw they have one of the longest droughts going. Something like 1984 was there last one....last thing should be is cocky.....didn't they lay an egg against an 8-8 Rams team in the playoffs last year......

Doc Walker said on the radio that there were about 12,000 - 15,000 Redskins fans in Tampa.

Anyone watching on TV knows that there had to have been significant #'s of Skins fans. When Chris Simms tried to quite the crowd while TB is in the red zone and they get louder..those aren't YOUR fans blondie..

I want to thank all of our Skins fans who made the trip and represented us so well in Tampa.
After every game, every play & every highlight, I'll always remember #21. RIP Sean.
