Spend a Sunday Afternoon Watching the Redskins
If you happen to be in Washington D.C. when the Washington Redskins have a home game, do yourself a favor and snag some tickets. This is a good, competitive football team and their home, Fedex Field, is among the nicest stadiums in the NFL. There is nothing quite like immersing yourself into the sea of passionate Washington Redskins fans decked out in Maroon and Gold. These fans are extremely intense and quite lively.
Fedex Field is located on a 200 acre site in Landover, Maryland. The stadium was recently renovated and about 7,000 seats were removed to reduce crowding in the stadium.Didn-t catch that? This explains it. The capacity is now 85,000, according to a Redskins spokesperson, making the stadium the second largest in the NFL.
During halftime, take a walk around the stadium. There are full oak bars, marble concourse floors, numerous flat screen televisions, and many, many concession stands featuring standard, but delicious, ballgame fare. If Brats and Dogs don-t cut the mustard for you, there are a number of chain restaurants within the stadium, which include a Hooters as well as a Cigar Bar.
FedEx Stadium is accessible from downtown DC via the Metrorail-s Blue Line. This line goes to Morgan Boulevard station, which is nine-tenths of a mile from the stadium. A newly contructed walkway offers direct access to the stadium. The Largo Town Center station, also on the Blue Line, is one mile away from the stadium.
Hopefully the Redskins win, but even if they don’t, there is not a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
