Your bad luck. Like watching Man City.

 

Skins are playing a poor football team (Tennessee) so they should play well!

 

Enjoy!

I know nothing about American football so it doesn't matter if they are good or bad, I wouldn't know.

The word 'American' is superfluous in that post.

Yep, the Redskins were crap. Beaten by a poor team but it was a fantastic day out.

What did you think of the atmosphere at FedEx Field? How does it compare to Anfield?

 

Was that Summers?

It was very different to a footy match at Anfield. I was 14 rows from the front behind the goal and had a great view of the cheer leaders. . There was hardly singing and chating but real big roars when they scored or gained yards (see I know the lingo now). Lots of booing towards the end coz they were losing when they should have won. Also lots when the opposing team came out. Not a patch on Anfield when it's rocking though.

 

90K people on top voice is going to be loud though, but it was a great day.

'the redrow home stadium'.

[ShaunOfTheRed]

Agreed. It was sad when stadiums started selling the naming rights to corporate america, now they change so often you can't keep track of what their named.

The redskins are known for their fickle fanbase but on thier day when the team is playing well and winning they can be quite an advantage. Having been their a few times I can say the stadium is top class and the owner spared no expense. It's a very nice stadium with all the ammenities one could want and a beautiful pitch. The one major drawback is the traffic, if you attend a game you'd better be willing to spend the whole day doing it because getting in and out can be a painful experience.

The stadium was indeed awesome. It looks fantastic from the outside and also tthe inside.

 

We got the metro to Landover and then the park and ride as you have no choice. So they get your $5 for the bus into the ground as well. Expensive tickets though $100 for a ticket behind the goal. No wonder there is so much money in American football.

Cheaper than watching Chelsea, for example.

Even Chelsea don't charge £55 for home fans behind the goal do they???
