Are binoculars allowed?

I've been to FEDEX filed about 10 times, but have always sat in good seats. Now, in my first year as a season ticket holder my seats are obviously in the nosebleed section making a pair of binoculars almost as important as having a few cold ones.

I got an email from the Redskins the other day advising me to make sure I get in the stadium early because of "increased security". Does anyone know if, with all this increased security, if binoculars are allowed in? I know it's probably a silly question, but you never know what they'll prohibit nowadays. It's like getting on a plane, things you don't realize are security items, won't be allowed on the plane.

Nah, it's not that bad. HOWEVER, for this game, due to the new "Official Airline of the Washington Redskins" I'm flying down for the game. Independance Air have ridiculously low prices for flights to and from Dulles. I'm flying from Boston tomorrow night, and flying back up after the game on Sunday. $98.00 round trip! NOT BAD!!!

Yeah, we flew them from Dulles to Savannah, GA for our vacation this year and it was like 60 bucks one way. Good service too.

Are the seats really that bad that you need binoculars?

yea, its pretty damn high up in the upper levels. but trying to watch the game with binoculars is also a pain, because you only get to see a small part of the action, like when the qb sets up to pass, you can't really see the WR's out in space. so it's a double evil.

$98.00? I think I'd be flying to every game instead of driving!

They're not as bad as the ones with huge, concrete columns in front of them. :lol:
