A dream comes through - 90.000 fans!!!


Before the last round of the regular season Washington Redskins were 8-7, but with a win in the last round they would secure the last wildcard for the playoff. However, Redskins’ last game of the season was at home against their biggest rival, Dallas Cowboys, whom are rank 1st in NFC. I have never been to an NFL game, and being a Redskins fan for about 15 years I thought it was about time that I would make it to FedEx Field for a Redskins game, and nothing better would be a must win game against Cowboys. There is, however, a big problem about getting to a Redskins game that is to get a ticket. Even though Redskins have the biggest stadium in NFL with room for 90.000 people, the stadium have been sold out for every game since 1979! Tickets are sold online, but when I started to look for tickets the price was already $255 an increasing. I was not sure if I would make it to the game, but Manuel and I went out to the stadium to see if we could get some tickets for a reasonable price. We met a scalper and he had two sets of tickets: one for upper level, which is where the planes will fly right over your head, and a set of tickets right behind the endzone on the 19th row. Upper levels were $60 a piece, and lower level were $160 a piece. But Manuel and I together was a great negotiating team – we got the lower level for 75 a piece – HERE WE GO – GO REDSKINS. Great seats, great atmosphere, and what a game; Redskins won 27-6, holding Cowboys to only 1 rushing yard. Redskins made it to the playoff and will play Seattle next weekend. GO REDSKINS.
