FEDEX field

[AFKAR7]

I'm not one that likes to wax nostalgic over much of anything and seeing football played on natural turf is one in that category. If teams keep insisting on playing on grass at least have it looking like grass. The look of that field yesterday was pathetic. Take care of it or put down the sports turf.

[HAIL2BNG]

It was really bad. We never had that issue years ago at RFK. I hate fake grass but if they can't do a better job, they need to consider it.

[SNAFU]

They need to take a cue from their neighbors in Baltimore and install 'Shaw Sportexe Momentum Turf'. Snyder can afford it.

I have grown to like the turf. I do miss the grass but not this time of the year when it's been beat up. Again I think being that it was a home playoff game that it could have looked better. Did they ever re-sod the field this year?

Apparently they didn't re-sod.

And what is with the ply wood, painted red cover to the players entrance to the locker rooms. Did anyone else notice, when RGIII went into the lockers it looked like he was going into an old shed uncle Jethro built?

That's a special examination area behind the bench. It isn't the lockers.

Even worse. I think Dr. Mudd had a more state of the art clinic than they do

Inside I bet it's all sorts of super pimped out. My sources tell me they keep the extra special cheerleaders in there.

It is kind of a strange looking structure though. Surprised The Danny hasn't insisted it be rebuilt.

I thought for sure he would have wanted a new stadium in D.C. after seeing what Dallas built. They really need to be playing in a stadium in that city.

I hope Dallas has taught him that bigger isn't better. The more seats you have, the more seats there are for the other team. Dallas has zero home field advantage.

Well not so much about the size but more about the bells and whistles. I think the low 70,000 is just about right as far as size just for the reason you say.

RFK was were that garbage team belonged..... NOT in Md.

A couple of reasons why the Redskins aren't moving back to DC, first Dan Synder has spent a lot of money on renovations to FedEx and second the lease on the stadium doesn't expire until 2027 give or take a year. There were rumors that DC Councilmember Jack Evans was going to relocate the FBI from DC to PG County in exchange for the Redskins breaking their lease and moving to a new stadium in DC. I don't know where they would put a new stadium in DC with the exception of tearing down RFK Stadium and building it there which would mean also building a new stadium for current tennant DC United in Buzzards Point. There are some Redskin season ticket holders who don't want a new stadium for the reason they would have to start charging PSL fees in the thousands for season tickets, just like New York, Dallas, Baltimore, Philly and Carolina to name a few.

Leases can be broken if the price is right. I don't really care one way or the other what he does. All the renovations in the world could not help that stadium. It was outdated before the doors opened.

Who really cares about the DC United? If they were to ever go back into D.C., again where I think they belong, just tear down RFK and build there.

PSL's you say? Danny boy wouldn't do that would he? I mean he loves and cares so much about that fan base.

[AVATAR]

They aren't putting a real field in a predominantly black city. Prejudice is alive a well.................

Nope, he does not care, he sued an old lady who could not afford her club seat lease when her Real Estate business tanked. Snyder stopped people from crossing Landover road when they decided to park at Landover Mall to avoid paying the expensive parking fees near FedEx. He could have gotten a waiver to keep the shuttle buses from the Landover Metro to FedEx Field running when the federal transit law was enacted, instead he makes the fans walk about a mile from the Morgan Boulevard metro station on the blue line to the stadium. He used to ban signs from FedEx Field when things were going bad for the Redskins. The only reason that stadium does not have PSLs is because former owner Jack Kent Cooke did not want them. Cooke is the same owner who kept the NFL out of Baltimore to the point of trying to build his stadium in Laurel, after getting rejected in DC, Potomac Yard in Virginia, finally getting it built in Landover.

The Ravens installed Sportexe Momentum Turf, after they had problems with the grass field getting chewed up. It was tough growing grass below sea level where the field is located, the field was in poor shape when they were filming "The Replacements" during one of the Ravens seasons. I don't like artificial turf, but I understand why the Ravens did it.

Um, what?

[AVATAR]

Um, what?

I standby that statement. Normally a playoff team would spruce up the joint. Why not this time ? Your take of the situation is ?
