Skins to Begin New Tailgating Restrictions
I expect more will be made of this than what is neccessary, but I just don't know how FedEx parking attendants are supposed to direct "each" vehicle into a chosen space. This isnt a summer concert series at Merriweather Post Pavilion - it's tens of thousands of Skins fans, for God's sake.
Just seems like further erosion of time-tested Redskin traditions and values.

Only 2 more seasons for me. This is ridiculous.

Looks like they want the tailgating outside the stadium to be on par with the product on the field; too strict, unappealing and lacking energy.
Just another reason why season tickets just are worth the price anymore...

I understand the point in doing this, but they can make this so much more easier and so much more simple by just setting up a big area near the stadium for tailgating any way you want. They do that at the Gamecocks home games, and there's never any problems since the people who aren't tailgating don't have to weave through the tailgaters and if you want to tailgate and meet fellow fans, there's one big area for you to do it.

In other news, the Skins will soon do away with seat numbers. All General Admission seats will cost $110.00, with the early arriving fans get seated in the upper level first, and the later arrivals getting the prime lower level seats. That way, those same late-arriving people will have easier access to the exits when they choose to leave in the middle of the 3rd Quarter with the score tied.

Ugh. We'll see how this works and for how long.

What in the world is he thinking? Is he trying to drive the fans away?
He keeps this up and there won't be a big enough crowd for the parking attendants to worry about.

No. He's trying to make way for Washington "fans" in the same way LA does for their fair weather fans. You know, those that pay corporate/suite rates instead of celebs though. This is ridiculous and I very rarely tailgate.

I've been to around 7-9 games in FedEx. He's killing the true fans like you say. |

That new gray lot will be across from the Tailgating lot. I'll bet that lot will get more attention this season.

I really don't know what the Danny hopes to accomplish. He's effectively killing the golden goose about 6 ways from Sunday these days.

Danny following the lead of his mentor and good buddy - Jerra. Another stake into the heart of this franchise.

Nice comparison, except there really shouldn't be any fairweather DC fans. At least to anybody who knows anything about football, anyway. Maybe that's a part of the problem... |

This is pretty funny lol. Obviously, there has to be a decent stretch of fair weather to have fair weather fans. From my perspective, I'm getting tired of watching the cows, rowboats and hags on bicycles flying by lol.
