I wish they would build higher capacity facilities. Helps keep ticket prices down. Ive been to every stadium except sofi. Donr really have an issue with them. Also, dont agree with tax money paying for these stadiums.
I think you mean sewer water. Septic tanks are buried underground and release waste water into the ground near a house or into a tank for a truck to come pump it out. An NFL stadium probably could never be served by a septic system.
I'm thinking that those upper-deck white crossbeams that were under the removed seats cannot be removed without compromising overall structural integrity.
The seats had to be removed to avoid blackouts. Y'all don't realize how long the fanbase has hated Dan Snyder....they knew they were in trouble 15 years ago. Fans weren't showing up.
There was no way they could have gotten a new stadium without the ownership change. The mayor of DC said that she would not work with the team until they changed the name and changed the owner. I assume Maryland and Virginia were similar.
The worst part is there's absolutely nothing to do there outside the stadium. There's isn't a restaurant/bar, no mall, no Riverwalk. There's only a big church and a parking lot. When watching a WSH home games, TV stations like to show lives scenes of Washington DC like the White House, Capitol, or Lincoln Memorial, however Landover, MD isn't even close. It's like at least 15-20 miles away
Dan Snyder brings back memories of 1971, when Robert Short was hated in the nation's capital because he started the process of moving the Senators MLB team to the D-FW.
If they were smart - They would have removed all the obstructed view seats instead of the upper deck seats. At least that way it would have instantly been turned into a venue without a bad seat in the house. That alone could have gotten results in improving the crowd attendance.
Personally, I love the fully enclosed, massive upper deck design. Give me a stadium where the fans are packed in and close to the field. The Delta Center in Salt Lake City is a great example of basic design creating a super intimidating environment.
I went to a game there in 2010 when the capacity was 91k and it was freaking electric. It’s just sad that with the changing times, bad on field product and bad ownership of course, that this stadium will never get better. Even if they sold it out every week, it’s still a cookie cutter, much older version of what it used to be. Same could be said for the franchise as a whole after the name change.
JerryWorld is worse than this and MetLife, especially for the players. You'll probably say it's better because of the open areas behind the end zones, but that's WHAT makes it worse because Jerry had the place built with the field running east-west with the glass doors and windows, so in the afternoons the sun creates a terrible glare where the players literally cannot see on the field. What's worse is they WILL black out those windows when there's a concert or other event there but continuously refuse to do so for the games.
I Totally Agree !!! I've been saying MetLife is better than AT&T for a long time. MetLife Stadium has all the right aspects that make it among the best in the league. Top Level Success, Fan Comfort, Amenities, Tailgating and Solar Energy. Those are 5 solid credentials that qualifies MetLife Stadium as a Top 10 Stadium wether anyone likes the design of the building or not. There are reasons why it beat out SoFi Stadium for the rights to host the 2026 World Cup Finals. Stadiums should be judged by its reputation for Success, Not by building design.
I was there on Labor Day 2011 for the Kickoff Classic between Boise St and Virginia Tech. Attendance was said to be about 87,000 and there were many upper deck seats available. Problem is getting to the upper deck! Have one escalator and one elevator! You have to walk a long way to get up there. Terrible!
1:45 "the design was already obsolete.'" Coming from a guy who is always talking shit about the rest of the 90' built stadiums... FedEx Field was with the times, just like any other 90's built stadium.
As a Premier League fan in addition to the NFL, I find it shocking that the Premier League decided to hold a couple of preseason Summer Series matches at FedEx Field this past summer considering how bad this stadium is. However those two preseason matches were sold out within minutes of tickets going on sale which in itself is remarkable & shows how popular the Premier League has become in the US in recent years.
It was ment to capture the large soccer market of dc and Northern Virginia also it has public transit not great but i took the meto to the game and it was packed and every train was for hours before and after the game
Bro really said there's a "forest" around the stadium. Goofy ahhh, that's not a forest, it's just trees separating the stadium from the Megachurch and neighborhoods around it.
Jack Kent Cooke wanted his own stadium, since RFK is owned by DC. FedEx was a cheap build since the land in Landover is just the boonies of PG County. IMHO, Oxon Hill would be an amazing locale since it'll be next to MGM Casino and next to the Potomac River across from VA
I was just thinking it would be relevantly easy to buy Rosecroft Raceway in Oxen Hills, MD. That wouldn't be a terrible idea, but I'm still hesitant about staying PG county. Long time ago, I recall the idea to buy Laurel Raceways for what is now FedEx Field 🤷♂️
It’s pg county though. They need to get out of there. They need places for fans to go before and after the games. No one wants to go hang out in pg county.
@@dustine7371Agree. Only have been to M&T Bank for football but have been to FedEx twice for concerts and the area is quite frankly a bareen wasteland. Few hotels, no real restaurants. Nothing. Not to mention the stadium is falling apart and several were injured just trying to get to their seats when I went a couple months ago.
@@TickingClocksdon’t forget that it takes 2-3 hours just to get home especially after concerts due to how poorly run it is and the lack of transportation
Seating wise, the base of the stadium is actually not bad in my opnion. Probably one of the easier stadiums to renovate. The exterior is ugly but there is so much room for renovation and improvement
Oh lord, this dump. Also the road is actually a ring road that’s active when events aren’t happening. A WMATA Metrobus passes through the stadium as a regular route.
Taking a deeper look its basically the titans stadium just with the seats all the way around. While the titans stadium doesn't appear to be nearly as bad its does make it look quite a bit worst. This stadium was really bad from the jump and thats just unfortunate.
It went from being the largest stadium in the NFL to the second largest stadium in the State of Maryland. M&T Bank is now the largest in the state in terms of capacity and that might be reduced when they do $400 million of renovations over the next 4 years in the offseasons.
You do know the Tigers’ GM and owner said the renovations aren’t finished, they just ran out of time on the walls? The double wall is a one year thing, I don’t know why Comerica always is catching strays in these videos.
The owner at the time loved The Meadowlands so he wanted a stadium just like that one. They made it so big because they had a long waiting list for season tickets at the time. It was a bad plan from day one.
Anyone know what's up with the seat colors on the club level? When JKC was built, they were all gold; now, there's a bunch of burgundy seats sprinkled in. Looks weird.
Did the (at-that-time) Redskins lose any fans after the NFL returned to Baltimore (40 miles away)? The Ravens have won two Super Bowls since any DC NFL team (by whatever name) won any. After the Raiders fled to LA, the 49ers won four Super Bowls. Their first SB win was the last season the Raiders were in Oakland before moving southward (1981 Regular Season). Since the Raiders left Oakland the first time, they've developed many fan bases outside the SF Bay Area. Translation: great NATIONAL following, but the 49ers took control of the "bay." Heck, the Raiders are probably more popular today in LA than the Chargers.
Even though the Rams won the Super Bowl two years ago, their home games are STILL raided by away fans. Gonna take more and more years of winning and a developing fanbase to sway more fans to come to games. LA has a lot of transplant fans due to the 20 year period of no teams so they just pick who they like or where they may have originally grown up. Football isn’t even the number one sport either so it’ll be hard to draw interest. Chargers are gonna take even longer to get the city to root for them since they didn’t really have much history in LA besides the 1960 season. Both owners of these teams are just focusing on the younger generation for the long term. Winning consistently will help these teams grow since LA has a strong knack for championship teams
@@AnthonyVitelloStan2024Champs can't argue with that at all. NFC north would be second. The worst has got to be AFC east. Miami is the only one that can host superbowls. Buffalo is getting replaced, new england is middle of the pack and new york is ok but will age the worst.
I don’t think the stadium was too big when it was built and it would’ve stayed that way if it weren’t for Dan Snyder. Washington had a 30 year season ticket waitlist in the beginning of FedEx Fields life. Dan Snyder destroyed the fanbase
16 months later in January 2025 things are looking a bit more optimistic. Federal legislation was passed that gave DC back the RFK land and the odds that the new stadium will be in DC is probably like 60 or 70% now. So that is positive. The local interest in the team is up as the Commanders have had their best year in almost three decades and have an exciting young QB. The estimate in the video of 2029 or 2030 for the new stadium are probably still the two most likely opening dates for the new stadium so that hasn't changed, but there is definitely a bit more optimism as it looks like the stadium could be in DC in the old RFK location near a metro stop (half mile walk) which would be awesome and the team looks a lot better.
I cant wait to see this video but on sofi stadium in a few years. Sofi seems nice, till you go there and realize nothing was thought out other than how grand it would look on TV.
Let’s be honest here. The day it opened it was the worst stadium in the NFL. It was never good. And to make it worse, it’s harder to get to from DC than M&T in Baltimore. Baltimore!
When the concept of the stadium came about the redskins were selling out for years consistently at rfk and tickets were very hard to get which is why they went with this concept but ownership deflated fans
This guy who does these videos really does not know what he is saying. FedEx Field was a 1992 design intended for Downtown D.C that was moved to the Potomac Yards section of Alexandrea, very near National Airport and the. Metro Subway, Reagan National Airport and all of the Monuments. Unfortunately, the stadium likely would have increased gameday traffic and was opposed by wealthy homeowners in neighboring communities which caused a five-year delay in the opening, and which forced its relocation to a "Bum F*ck" majority minority lower income Prince George's on the wrong side of the beltway with no access to public transportation. Then Jack Kent Cooke died on April 6. 1997, five months before the stadiums scheduled first game. The first few years the stadium was sold-out, expanding eventually to over 90.000, the largest capacity on the NFL. However poor management and maintenance practices by Snyder) including removing sections of the stadium on the cheap to reduce its capacity, leaving the stroll supports exposed to the elements to rust. People began voting with their wallet and stayed away in droves from FedEx Field.
Let me ask you a question, have you been there before, recently? Is it the best stadium, of course not, but please give me a break saying it’s the worst one by far. Have you been to Buffalo, have you been to Nashville? I love your videos, think you do a great job, but please have some independent thought and don’t go by what you read and hear in the bias media.

Like every year there is always something negative to cover about the venue. Not even 30 years and is falling apart as we speak. Soldier Field is nearly 100 years old and has ten times the atmosphere despite a bad renovation in the early 2000’s. FedEx is a dump and is truly the worst NFL stadium
65 year old Lambeau Field, opened during the 1950s is in far better condition than a stadium that was opened at the turn of the new millennium.
I wish they would build higher capacity facilities. Helps keep ticket prices down. Ive been to every stadium except sofi. Donr really have an issue with them. Also, dont agree with tax money paying for these stadiums.
Soldier Field, that was open nearly 100 years ago and got a horrible renovation 20 years ago, is in better condition than FedEx Field
@@djtrankilo231Soldier Field was not renovated. It was completely torn down and replaced.
Fenway Park is 112 years old and the Red Sox think it can last until 2061.
It’s easier to take care of a smaller stadium, thats why.
The pipes leaking septic water on fans during a game is the perfect symbol for Dan Snyder and FedEx Field
I think you mean sewer water. Septic tanks are buried underground and release waste water into the ground near a house or into a tank for a truck to come pump it out. An NFL stadium probably could never be served by a septic system.
I'm thinking that those upper-deck white crossbeams that were under the removed seats cannot be removed without compromising overall structural integrity.

Virginia was fine with the owner and the name.
Thats called extortion
Funny thing is I live near the wampanoags. They all dont care about the name at all. Only woke Americans care about the name.
The worst part is there's absolutely nothing to do there outside the stadium. There's isn't a restaurant/bar, no mall, no Riverwalk. There's only a big church and a parking lot.
When watching a WSH home games, TV stations like to show lives scenes of Washington DC like the White House, Capitol, or Lincoln Memorial, however Landover, MD isn't even close. It's like at least 15-20 miles away

FedEx Field to me always looks like the deformed child of Arrowhead and Giants Stadium
Very observant The Stadium was designed by the same architect who designed the original Giants Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium. .
It looks like the insides were put together with Legos.
I said the same thing 😂😂😂
The thing about the fully enclosed stadium is there's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING else to see in Landover
Maybe there's nothing else to see, but don't pretend like Landover isn't a fairly large suburb.
Personally, I love the fully enclosed, massive upper deck design. Give me a stadium where the fans are packed in and close to the field. The Delta Center in Salt Lake City is a great example of basic design creating a super intimidating environment.
