White Linen Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Kind of weird after a new QB and a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a home opener nontheless Also, I'm not entirely sure I believe it since their PR and FO is poorly run (Bruce Allen vs McCloughan, spilling Cousins' contract details to the public to save face, horribly treating their cheerleaders, etc.) Edited September 12, 2018 by JimKellyTryouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 It was only a matter of time. The stadium is in an awkward location.. far from many fans ** and difficult to get to as a Metro rider. ** I don't know about most most people, but when I lived in DC trips between MD and VA were equivalent to trips between Buffalo and Ontario--to be avoided. PS: MD drivers are nuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Oh, I think we all know the REAL reason the stadium won't be full... (DCTom might show up, and rip a strip off someone's hide.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 It's a totally different era now compared to the old days with a packed RFK, eternal sellouts, the hogs sitting in the front row wearing their jewelry, etc. The new stadium is out in the middle of nowhere in MD and surrounded by huge parking lots, much like our stadium, and the atmosphere in terms of drunken !@#$s is among the worst in the league. Also a bigger stadium capacity... It's just different now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like A Mofo Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I think this is a byproduct of outrageous ticket prices and PSL's. Expect more of the same in NFL cities over the years that used to have guaranteed sellouts. Also lifting the blackout rule is going to have an effect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 They haven't sold out for several years. Often the stadium has a huge percentage of opponents fans, especially when Eagles, Giants, Cowboys, Packers, Steelers and a few others are in town. It's only recently that the Skins are lifting the cover on the big myth that every game is a sellout. They've had season ticket availability and individual games for several years.

The season ticket thing has gotten bad for them since a story a few years back where they sued an old couple who could not pay that had agreed to I think a 20 year commitment. At that point they had a waiting list but at that point many people decided that season tickets was not worth the risk, along with several other reasons.
