MNF Guide: Washington (II)

Its another Monday night in Washington.  Here is once again the guide to FedEx Field.  This week the New York Giants take on the Washington Redskins.  This game has a lot of implications, the Giants are playing for the playoffs, lose and they are virtually eliminated.  The Redskins are playing for their jobs.  With Bill Allen the new GM for the Redskins, many players are playing to show him that they can.  Should be one to Enjoy

FedEx Field is the largest and one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL. The stadium was built in March of 1996 and completed in April of 1997 only 17 minutes after construction. Since he bought the team in 1999 Daniel M. Snyder has spend more than $100 million dollars to enhance the Field making the stadium even bigger. Located in the upper deck is the Redskins' Ring of Fame, with plaques honoring the team's greatest players and executives, including George Allen, Sammy Baugh, Joe Gibbs, Vince Lombardi, Sam Huff, Joe Jacoby, Sonny Jurgensen, Billy Kilmer, Doug Williams, Art Monk, John Riggins and Joe Theismann.

While your in D.C. there is always something to do, between the Capitol, the White House, the Smithsonian, the Presidential Memorials and the Holocost Museum, there is plenty to do that could take up multiple days. Once it gets to 5:00 and the game is around the corner, however, head over to the stadium and embrace the whole atmosphere. If you are on a budget, I’d recommend going to Fast Eddie’s Sports Bar and Grille where they have 5 meals under 5 dollars including a Hoagie Sub, Pulled Pork Sandwich and Personal 8”Pizza. You can also stop by the ESPNZone where they always have good food, all the games you can think of on TV and plenty of awesome arcades and more to entertain yourself.

After that head over to the stadium and enjoy the Hog Haven. As you may know, the Redskins are known as fans that dress up as Hogs. Get out there and enjoy the scene, Washington D.C. is a top notch. Tailgating is allowed for 4 hours so at 4:30 you will see a packed lot filled with people grilling, drinking and hoping the Redskins can put the ball in the endzone.
