Dave: Good to see/hear you again.

As for the DTC, we are an unstoppable force.

We will do exactly what we did last year, and the 8 years previous and that set up the biggest, baddest, loudest tailgate in the parking lot.

We still invite any Redskins fan, and we still deny any other fan.

We will however, fight for anyones right to tailgate.

It looks like three major tailgates are in jeopardy here.

Extremeskins, G-20, and one put on by a huge Redskins fan Mark.

Lets help these guys and sign up.

Oddly enough Dave, this is the first thing I have not backed Dan Snyder on.

Let the FedEx tailgate fiasco continue. I'm going to suggest a Tailgating Bill that will use RFK during the games as the Ultimate Tailgating Location. It's all part of my plan to undo what Sharon Pratt Kelly did. I already know that I'll get resistance from Well, because it is too close to the Anacostia and Fenty because it will undermine the Benning Road Trolley. Could've had it at the DC United Stadium in Ward 8, but oh...you know who killed that deal too. If we can't get the team back for another 26 years, we can at least get the tailgaters.

The people who attend tailgates are the "True Redksins Fans." Moving the "True Fans" to the back of parking lots is the best way to alienate the only true fans the team has left. Basically NFC East games and games against the Pittsburgh Steelers at FedEx field have become home games for those opponents. It's unfortunate that Snyder is killing the Redskins just like he killed Six Flags and Johnny Rockets.

this is quite upsetting. will they lower the cost of food & beverages inside the stadium if this happens? that is the only way i might approve, but even then, tailgating is almost half the fun of watching the game at the stadium.

Deal with it Joe, just like we deal with half ass fans like you.

I know people like to whine. But this is a good move by the Skins. Tailgaters often take up huge numbers of spaces, create traffic problems in parking lots and are an all around nuisance for the huge majority of fans who have no interest in tailgating. I suspect that the Redskins are merely responding to the huge numbers of fans who have complained.
