So how empty was the redskin stadium?

If the tickets were being sold on Stub hub, doesn't that mean that they were technically sold and the owners were trying to resell the seats? How many tickets were unsold and available for purchase directly from the team on game day? I doubt any.

Yes, its owners or brokers trying to re-sell seats for whatever they can get. Tickets directly from the Redskins start at $125 each. As to your other question - read the article in the OP.

That is just too expensive.

You could not PAY ME to go to a game.

I am so over the NFL and Redskins are just a boring team to watch.

Snyder is evil and their name is insulting....my kids think it is ok to refer to people as red skins, brown skins and black skins during football season. So annoying.

Which was fascinating and solidifies my feelings that Girl Scouts have lost their way.

It was empty! I have a friend visiting from a state with zero sports teams, so we're doing a few Nats games later this week and they were semi-interested in going to a NFL game since they'd never been. I jumped on StubHub and couldn't believe the crazy prices! $120 for 400 level?

I found some on Gametime in the 200 level for $45 each. Still felt too pricey for the Redskins, but hey, it was for a friend to experience something new.

My friend who had tickets in the 400 level got to move down. Some security was being nice about letting high level people move down but others were being dicks about it.

- Piss poor product on the field for the price being paid
- piss poor accommodations, FedEx field sucks
- Logistics, getting in and out there is a nightmare
- Does not ever feel like home field advantage. Too many fans from the opposing team allowed to perch and run amuck without home fan opposition



At least the organization is winning off the field. LOL!

My family has had Redskins tickets forever and this season we did not renew. Will not go back until stadium is in DC and they actually start winning games again. Dan Snyder needs to go as well. Got a partial season of Caps tickets instead.

We gave up season tickets to send a message. Went for DCU this year.
