Commanders fan here, I don’t care about the staduim as long as a get to see the team win for once! Also it’s getting so much better as a new owner comes. I WAS AT THE SAME GAME!!!
@@riyanscreations9920 When Bob Kraft bought the Patriots in 1993 (for a then-record price of $200 million), they immediately sold out their home games for the first time since 1972.
The timing. I noticed a lot of people making videos about our horrible stadium this season but today we just got an even bigger step closer to leaving this dump and returning back home to DC 🎉
@johnwright689 boy there's crime all over the dmv it makes no difference where we play lol. The crime in pg county (which includes landover) is higher then DC rn
I grew up in Landover, I use to ride my dirt bikes on Farmer's Joe field as a kid. Farmer Joe and his family initially owned all that land that stadium sits on today. When they were building the stadium we would go up there and wonder around for hours as kids, it was crazy to see miles and miles of farmland get transformed into a stadium like that. It's honestly sad to see the stadiums decline today from what it use to be when it first opened as Jack Kent Cooke's stadium.
Can we please put to bed that sewage water was leaking. It was dirty rain water. I don't disagree that Northwest/Fed Ex stadium is one of or the worst NFL stadium. But running sewage lines above fans makes no sense and would actually cost more since bathrooms are inside, not where fans sit.
The best-maintained stadium is Dodger Stadium. It has been going through massive renovations and the Dodgers always repaint it every off-season. It sill looks brand new even though it's 62 years old. Every stadium should be treated with such care.
All team owners learned that from the Twins and Vikings. Metropolitan Stadium (although not bad for watching baseball) was a cheap Erector Set thing that was built in bits and pieces, then stopped (never "finished") in 1964. The Twins and Vikings never bothered to maintain it. By the late 1970s, The Met was a filthy, rusty, broken-down dump. The Twins and Vikings used that as an excuse to demand a new dome...which, in some ways was actually worse. That neglect tactic has trended ever since.
@@davidlafleche1142 The Twins nor the Vikings never owned Met Stadium. They were tenants. So they wouldn't have to do any maintenance on it. The thing with these new stadiums is that the teams actually now own them. When they were leasing the older stadiums from the City or whoever; all the other events were scheduled and ran by the City. But now that the team owns the stadium, they can make all the money from the non sport events and all. That is the real reason why they all wanted new places for themselves.
@@oscarwinner2034 No, the teams don't own them. They are mostly taxpayer funded. Boston(including Foxboro) is the only city in which every stadium is 100% privately financed.
@@oscarwinner2034 Billy Sullivan was the stingiest cheapskate in all of sports; but even he could scrape his pennies together to build Foxboro Stadium. Bob Kraft paid for Gillette Stadium. The Bruins paid for Boston Garden and the Red Sox paid for Fenway Park. If they could do it, then everyone else can do it.
I know someone who talked to the grounds keeper of FedEx Field. He said Dan Snyder cheap ass only paid the lowest amount to get the bare minimum to look passable.
I've seen a stabbing, extremely brutal fights, and been in some pretty uncomfortable situations at FedEx. The stadium is an issue, but the fans are to blame for some of the 'danger' of this stadium
I haven't been to Northwest/FedEx Field in over a decade, but I remember it being very blah. I do remember seeing signs of poor maintenance even back in the 2010s, though. The main problem for me was its size--too big. Seeing games in the 400 section was like watching them from a helicopter hovering a long ways from the field!
The stadium isn't awful. It's just not nice or special. 25 years of terrible football, a dastardly owner, and those viral videos gave it a worse perception than it might warrant. Reality is, it's just a character-less bowl that was built as large as possible (92000 seats before the reduction) to make the Cooke family as much money as possible. As I said, if this team was winning 11-12 games a year for the last 2 decades and had a SB win also, this would be looked at like Arrowhead: an uninteresting stadium far from the city center where a lot of winning happened.
A football stadium doesn't need to be "interesting." Baseball is the only sport in which architecture actually has a role in the game: the Green Monster (Fenway Park), Death Valley (Yankee Stadium), house rooftop seats (Wrigley Field), etc.
Last time I was at Fedex Field was for the Virginia Tech/WVU game in 2017. Biggest thing was the game was an 8 pm kickoff, on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. The numb nuts didn't open the parking lot until 4 pm.......epic failure as you had two of the best travelling fan bases and it was a disaster getting into the parking lot.
Great video and very fair portrayal! I’ve been a Washington fan my whole life and actually got the chance to intern for the team’s marketing department last season, right around the ownership change. Our office was one of the suites on the 3rd floor, and I got to freely walk around the whole stadium so I’ve seen a ton of whats underneath. Overall, yes, it’s not a great stadium, definitely bottom 5 in the NFL, and we need a new one. And some seats in the back of the ‘cave’ shouldn’t be sold IMO. However I really don’t think it’s *as* bad as people have made it out to be, and as the dude at the end said, a lot of that just has to do with how bad the team has been. While Harris has made some great improvements this year, I’d say the lack of complaints this year vs years prior has way more to do with how much better the team is
That was done on purpose when they moved there. RFK was accessible by public transit and all. When they moved out of the city; they owned all ways to the place and fleeced the fans for that too. Parking lot fee then a fee to catch the tram into the place. Twice the revenue for the owner!
Because they over hyping the situation to have something to laugh about. I’ve been going to fedex field for 20 years been to 10 NFL stadiums and we are by far not the worst
Friendly reminder that this stadium is horrible with public transport. The nearest subway station is a mile away and like one bus line goes anywhere near it.
I’m from the dmv I used to live right down the street from the stadium. It’s needs a change. All around COME TO BACK RFK!! I moved to DC I would love to see it
I actually went here two years ago for opening day when they were playing the Jaguars. I was curious to see how bad the stadium was. Their concessions were very bare bones. We were sitting closer to the 50 yard line and the barrier right above our head was blocking the view. The stadium was not as terrible as everyone said, but it was definitely not good. However, I was really surprised how loud it got in that stadium.
Eagles fan here. Interesting to see this, seeing a division rival's stadium be considered the worst. The product that's being produced on the field inside of it, however, has a shot to be the best this season. Let's see if the Birds can roadblock them.
I've been a Redskins fan my entire life. I stopped watching a few years ago though. I've been to several games at FedEx. I never personally experienced any issues there, nothing but a few really great memories, and a few more really, really bad memories. The Monday Night Massacre with Donavan McNabb come to mind. It's funny seeing the Ravens fan in the video. The one problem with Baltimore's stadium is the moment you step outside of it. Remember that show The Wire? I wasted three years of my life running back and forth to Baltimore driving by that stadium everyday. It's unreal how bad it gets within feet of that place.
I went to 1 NFL game in my life, in 2002 the Radiers/Broncos MNF game in Oakland. It was a blast. We had cheap seats and the upper deck blocks our view, so they have TV's hanging for us to view, but our TV in our section wasn't working. You had to duck to see the scoreboard. Fans were picking on a boy wearing a Broncos jacket. The men's bathroom had long lines. Guys peeing in garbage cans. Everybody was wearing black and silver and surrounded by concrete. Almost felt like I was in a prison or something.
That must've been back when the Raiders were the official NFL team of the California State Penal System. Back when on any given Sunday, at least 50 guys were doing time in San Quentin for something they did after a Raiders game.
Had season tix for a very long time. It was easy to complain when we sucked. I truly believe Josh Harris is beyond invested in this franchise. I think I can speak for all Commanders fans when I say this is the most excitement and hope we’ve had in over 30 years. Getting them back in the District is the next and possibly the most important step.
I was here a few months ago as part of the LED lighting/sound system upgrade. Guy working up in the light towers' harness snapped and he fell and broke his ankle. Could be the place is just cursed?
It's really not that unusual for the team's headquarters and/or practice facilities to be 'across town'. Just 2 teams off the top of my head are the Rams and Cowboys.
Probably wasn’t sewage. Was likely a fire suppression sprinkler pipe. There was no reason for a sewage pipe to be there. Sprinkler pipe water smells very sewage like due to rust and the lubricating oil used by the installers. I used to install these systems and worked with people who worked at the stadium installing these. This water is even brown due to rust. Imo this is more scary as a fire mixed with a decrepit fire suppression system is a deadly mix. The fact that an alarm didn’t go off when this happened is even more scary as the alarm is connected to the water pressure in the system. Just my thoughts on that broken pipe.
Was at the Commanders falcons game the Sunday after Christmas and I can confirm it was 150 to park near stadium ( I parked at metro station instead ) also there is no way for you to get to walk to your car and for cars to get out of parking lot at the same time so it takes forever l.
2:06 When Jack Kent Cooke stadium sat 80,000, those seats didn't exist. After Dan Snyder bought the team and stadium, he added those seats out of pure greed. The Cooke family would have never made that decision and I doubt the HOG would allow seats like that to be built in the new stadium that's to be built.
Same. I'm a Commanders fan, but I toured Jerryworld and was constantly amazed. The Commanders will definitely have to top that when they build their new home.
Lifelong Washington fan checking in, haven’t been back to Fed-Ex/Northwest since the football team name change. It’s definitely the worst stadium in the league, I hope Josh Harris can fix that. Having a competitive team will only help our chances.
Dude those cave seats are called the "stomping zone"... If you want to see more than 20 yards of the field then NEVER BUY A TICKET IN THIS SECTION, IT IS A JOKE!!! You literally have to watch the game on a TV. If the website tells you that some seats may have an obstructed view, they 1000000% mean it lol
@@teddystevens4132 I’m fine with this and think the roads can handle it even with airport traffic. I just don’t want it coming out of my wallet. I’d prefer the DC RFK site, though.
Ya it’s gross. I live about 45 min away and have been to many games, it’s worse every year, it’s time to do something now that we’ve changed everything else. It doesn’t seem very different from its past after 75 mil being put into it though.
~~ it was originally named "Jack Kent Cooke Stadium" in the mid-90s when built - after the team's late owner throughout their glory years of the 80's and early 90's - he even got the state of Maryland to invent a new town name for the site .. "Ral-jon" - after his sons Ralph & John - and yet he did not will the team to his son John as expected - instead ordering the team to be sold via a trust to the highest bidder - his son's bid did not win - and the Daniel Snyder era came to be - which effectively ruined the franchise for 25 years ..
"..........which effectively ruined the franchise for 25 years....." Well, he (Daniel Snyder) did at least get wild card round playoff wins in two out of his first seven years as the team owner, then they went on to not be in the conference playoffs in fourteen of the next 19 seasons.
It always amazes me when people including radio host say that FedEx field is nowhere near DC. Nothing inside of the beltway is far front DC at all. From FedEx it takes just over 10 minutes on central ave to get to the DC line. With stop lights! At the end of the day when they win people will stop caring about the stadium.
The reverse scenario as far as distance goes, in Virginia, the Stadium would be right about where the Fairview Park Marriott hotel in Falls Church, Va. is located, close to the beltway exits at U.S. Route 50 on Arlington Boulevard, less than 16 miles from, say, the Ellipse, White House and Washington Monument.
The biggest question you should have asked is have you been to other stadiums and are you from here … RFK is probably the most horrible location for a stadium especially if your biggest concern is traffic … ticket prices/ beer prices/ concessions would be thru the roof because of Washington DC economy … tailgating wouldn’t be a thing anymore … FedEx is a beautiful stadium that was neglected for years by Dan Snyder we have new ownership and they are making improvements trust the process and always keep the stadium in landover don’t allow a blue collar sport to turn for white color politicians … the people that complain about it being in landover have no idea that most stadiums aren’t in the city they play for
"Imagine Baltimore and Washington used the same stadium like Chargers and Rams" C'mon, it'll never happen, that's like East Rutherford, New Jersey and Philadelphia, separated by just 85 miles, all using the same stadium (Eagles, Jets, Giants), there's just no purpose or point in it at all (lol).
~~ the old place still has 3 tenants whose names start with "R" - roaches - racoons & rats .. - the rats are supposedly so big even the racoons run away from them ..
RFK is hopeless. It's 62 years old, rusty, filthy, obsolete and too small. It seated around 56,000 for football: originally 53,000. The Redskins were so desperate to cram in more seats, they put them in one end zone and covered up the scoreboard (which only half the fans could see anyway). The sideline seats were too low. Forget RFK. Build a new stadium that doesn't share with baseball.
@@davidlafleche1142 ~~ RFK is now just a rathole - literally - but I have a very sentimental attachment to the place - I was just 6 years old in 1969 at my first game there - St. Louis Cardinals visiting - Sonny Jurgensen at QB - and Vince Lombardi on the sidelines as HC of the Skins - took a few years before I realized the truly historic nature of what I got to see that day - grown men in suits yelling at the top of their lungs - chomping cigars and guzzling Shaeffer beer - ah good times ..
@@davidlafleche1142 ~~ yes, also in 1969 - Ted Williams was manager of the Senators - saw them play his old team the Red Sox - and for another great twist - the Boston Redskins played their home games at Fenway park in the mid-1930's - then moved to D.C. in 1937 ..
Winning does a lot to make that dump more tolerable. The new ownership group has done so much to improve the team, the stadium and everything * Commanders*. I hate that Snyder made billions in profit after he sold the team.... I hope that all of the lawsuits and legal fees eat up much of that profit!!!
I see you are at the Panthers game. Last game I went to was a Christmas Eve game at RFK in Carolinas inaugural year. We won 20-17. I have never been to a Snyder owned game nor any game at FedEx and I wear that as a badge of honor.
Commanders fan here, I don’t care about the staduim as long as a get to see the team win for once! Also it’s getting so much better as a new owner comes. I WAS AT THE SAME GAME!!!

Ya it’s gross. I live about 45 min away and have been to many games, it’s worse every year, it’s time to do something now that we’ve changed everything else. It doesn’t seem very different from its past after 75 mil being put into it though.
And also the last game was played in RFK in 1996, not 97.
Was at this game! What a blowout lol. HTTR!!!
Not an NFL stadium but camper world stadium in Orlando is another dangerous one
Born and raised in DC and I can confirm that it’s the worst stadium in the NFL
I knew I recognized the stadium based on the thumbnail lol
~~ it was originally named "Jack Kent Cooke Stadium" in the mid-90s when built - after the team's late owner throughout their glory years of the 80's and early 90's - he even got the state of Maryland to invent a new town name for the site .. "Ral-jon" - after his sons Ralph & John - and yet he did not will the team to his son John as expected - instead ordering the team to be sold via a trust to the highest bidder - his son's bid did not win - and the Daniel Snyder era came to be - which effectively ruined the franchise for 25 years ..
"..........which effectively ruined the franchise for 25 years....." Well, he (Daniel Snyder) did at least get wild card round playoff wins in two out of his first seven years as the team owner, then they went on to not be in the conference playoffs in fourteen of the next 19 seasons.
Not mention the exorbitant parking fees and the parking entering and exiting suck. Metro 1mile walk
Was just here yesterday and Jalen hurts got like an actual potential concussion so maybe that injury curse is real
Virginia is the best location, the criminals voting won’t even show up
Lobby for Virginia to get their own team!! Simple! No! I’m not a fan of the Commanders.
I live right near the commanders practice facility it is way nicer than the actual stadium
The stadium name has been changed to Northwest Stadium; let the Commanders stay in Prince George’s County because the stadium needs to be renovated.
THANK YOU FOR SHINING LIGHT ON THIS! And as a fan thank you for wearing 21
I’d honestly be way more pissed about the gushing sewage pipe leaking on me then the railing collapsing.
Here after the bill pass,to bring the commmaders back DC🔥🔥🔥
It always amazes me when people including radio host say that FedEx field is nowhere near DC. Nothing inside of the beltway is far front DC at all. From FedEx it takes just over 10 minutes on central ave to get to the DC line. With stop lights! At the end of the day when they win people will stop caring about the stadium.
Exactly. The PG/DC line is maybe 10-15 mins tops from the stadium.
The reverse scenario as far as distance goes, in Virginia, the Stadium would be right about where the Fairview Park Marriott hotel in Falls Church, Va. is located, close to the beltway exits at U.S. Route 50 on Arlington Boulevard, less than 16 miles from, say, the Ellipse, White House and Washington Monument.
The biggest question you should have asked is have you been to other stadiums and are you from here … RFK is probably the most horrible location for a stadium especially if your biggest concern is traffic … ticket prices/ beer prices/ concessions would be thru the roof because of Washington DC economy … tailgating wouldn’t be a thing anymore … FedEx is a beautiful stadium that was neglected for years by Dan Snyder we have new ownership and they are making improvements trust the process and always keep the stadium in landover don’t allow a blue collar sport to turn for white color politicians … the people that complain about it being in landover have no idea that most stadiums aren’t in the city they play for
The pipe thing was not where he said it was it 2 different spots 😂
Imagine Baltimore and Washington used the same stadium like Chargers and Rams
"Imagine Baltimore and Washington used the same stadium like Chargers and Rams"
C'mon, it'll never happen, that's like East Rutherford, New Jersey and Philadelphia, separated by just 85 miles, all using the same stadium (Eagles, Jets, Giants), there's just no purpose or point in it at all (lol).
Haha. Uncle mookie you are a legend for that rail fall. #TakeThatEagles
God i want rfk back
~~ the old place still has 3 tenants whose names start with "R" - roaches - racoons & rats .. - the rats are supposedly so big even the racoons run away from them ..
RFK is hopeless. It's 62 years old, rusty, filthy, obsolete and too small. It seated around 56,000 for football: originally 53,000. The Redskins were so desperate to cram in more seats, they put them in one end zone and covered up the scoreboard (which only half the fans could see anyway). The sideline seats were too low. Forget RFK. Build a new stadium that doesn't share with baseball.
@@davidlafleche1142 ~~ RFK is now just a rathole - literally - but I have a very sentimental attachment to the place - I was just 6 years old in 1969 at my first game there - St. Louis Cardinals visiting - Sonny Jurgensen at QB - and Vince Lombardi on the sidelines as HC of the Skins - took a few years before I realized the truly historic nature of what I got to see that day - grown men in suits yelling at the top of their lungs - chomping cigars and guzzling Shaeffer beer - ah good times ..
@@billyz5088 Ever go to a Senators game?
@@davidlafleche1142 ~~ yes, also in 1969 - Ted Williams was manager of the Senators - saw them play his old team the Red Sox - and for another great twist - the Boston Redskins played their home games at Fenway park in the mid-1930's - then moved to D.C. in 1937 ..
The new owner put millions of dollars into the stadium this season. There's nothing wrong with that stadium now.
Bro we were at the same game
Too bad they're stuck with that stadium for at least another 5 years.
Winning does a lot to make that dump more tolerable. The new ownership group has done so much to improve the team, the stadium and everything * Commanders*.
I hate that Snyder made billions in profit after he sold the team.... I hope that all of the lawsuits and legal fees eat up much of that profit!!!
I see you are at the Panthers game. Last game I went to was a Christmas Eve game at RFK in Carolinas inaugural year. We won 20-17. I have never been to a Snyder owned game nor any game at FedEx and I wear that as a badge of honor.
If this stadium was actually in DC and not in Maryland, would it still be this bad?
LMAO 0:55 I was there for that one.
That’s very common at NFL games tho lol
