Redskins Game

Austin and I were invited to attend the Redskin game on Sunday to see them host the Philadelphia Eagles. Going to FedEx Field is an all day affair as we departed for the stadium at 10:00AM and arrived home shortly after 6:00PM. As guests of Jimmy Gallant, we were able to gain access to the Redskins Radio VIP Hospitality Tent for free food and drink before the game. We sat in Section 231 in the South End Zone Lower Level right in front of the Jumbotron. Austin was able to see what a very large television screen looked like up close. The screen pixels are so large, you really can't tell what you are looking at. The seats were superb and Austin was able to see an NFL game at a new angle.

As it turned out, the Redskins continued their dismal season, allowing to the Eagles to win a game in which they were statistically beaten. The Redskins running back Ladell Betts ran for 170 yards and the team still lost! That's not supposed to happen and doesn't happen to a good team. The highlight of the game was watching the stadium police forcibly remove two unruly drunkards from the end zone stands below us.
