Fan Situation at FedEx

I was amazed how how many seats were filled with Seahawks fans at FedEx tonight. When I walked around the stadium concourse there were a lot of rolling "SEA...HAWKS" chants going down with large groups. The chants went on during the game and were rolling through the stadium after the game had just ended.

Most of the <WASHINGTON> fans were completely apathetic towards their team. They got excited and up for the long catches by Jackson and a few other plays, but the crowd was full of people who were simply broken before the Seahawks came to town. I don't know what percentage of people there were Seahawks fans, but it was ridiculously high considering they were the road team.

I will say one fan of the home team had me rolling late in the game when the ball was badly spotted and it went to 4th down for the Seahawks. He screamed "YES! HOME FIELD REFS! THANK YOU!". Everybody was surprised by the Wilson forward pass after crossing the line of scrimmage call; I thought it would go the other way because I wasn't aware of the rule to the level that his whole body needs to be forward of the line.

My seat in the 220 section sucked really bad at times. I had a pillar that was blocking a chunk of the field from the 20 yard line to the back of the end zone. I saw one fan who had a seat right behind the pillar; she spent the whole game attempting to peer around the wall.

Me and my buddy tried to go over to section next to the MNF broadcast team right after the game, like many saw on TV during the Rams game last year. Stadium security tried to push everybody out and only after being threatened by the police being on the way did we move out. I saw some dude in a Hawks jersey trying to start a fight down near the front with people holding him back; I don't know if his behavior was the catalyst for getting us booted or a symptom.

...I've been to a game at FedEx Field, but several years ago and no Seahawks were involved. It was in 2006 it was the 'Skins vs Falcons. I swear, I saw every single NFL jersey in that stadium during that game. I saw a guy wearing a Seahawks jersey, and while I wouldn't question someone with that sort of fashion acumen, I was still, well, questioning them. Either way, my point is that the stadium experience in Landover is, in my opinion, lacking. And they pipe in crowd noise. I heard it from the speakers above me. It's true.

You didn't take a picture of that poor soul behind the pillar? That would have been hilarious to see.
