Home Field Crowd Today

[jazzcat22]

I hope the crowd today can make a difference. And hope there aren't too many Commanders fans.
They need to be loud and raucous when Washington has the ball. Make them get some false starts, delay of games, cause some miscommunications.

And do this the entire game. From the 1st possession to the last. Do not wait until it is a series where we must have a stop. Do it on every series, because to me you need to stop a team on every series.

Now if we are winning and the game is in hand.....then chant to Kirk....how do you like us now....

I gotta admit that they seem louder this season than prior years. Dak was trying to quiet them down last week when the offense was near the end zone. I don't remember seeing that in years.

Tryp.......to.......ph.....annnnnnn..........Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 

[MRV52]

Pump in some crowd noise over the sound system like Seattle does. Not legal but they have been doing it for years.

don't the cowboys have a better road record since this stadium opened?

Are you the cousin of KJJ?

I read that today's game has the highest average ticket price on the secondary market for a non-playoff game ever.

$257

That might be due to a lot of Washington fans but I hope not.

that was because he was in the west end zone and it was filled with ravens fans. There were a ton of purple jerseys there sunday and they were loud until the second half.

Today will be the same. The ticket exchange prices for this game are outrageous and the only ones willing to pay that are Commanders fans coming from out of town to see their team win at Dallas.

Expect the same today, lot of burgundy and a lot of noise.

It is exactly what it is. They are the ones willing to spend 500 or more on a single ticket for a one time game so they can say they were here when washington beat Dallas on thanksgiving and our fans are more than happy to sell to them.

It sucks. I would complain but who would listen.

Oh wait I am complaining.

 

[cowboyz]

why would Commanders fans travel on thanksgiving for a game?

i think it'll be cowboys fans buying the tickets with their family members.

 

[weaver21]

I don't remember much Commanders fans being at the stadium a couple years ago on Thanksgiving. Like cowboyz said, I doubt many Commanders fans are going to want to travel for Thanksgiving. I'm pretty sure some will, but I doubt there's gonna be a lot of Skins fans at the game today. I could be wrong though.

You are partially correct. Home team fans usually buy up the vast majority of first-run tickets sold by their teams. That's common throughout sports. However, a portion of tickets originally owned by home team fans are then re-sold. This is how (really) significant numbers of opposing fans invade other stadiums and venues.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

They're not travelling, they're people who are Commanders fans who live within driving distance. It's no different than the Cowboys having a large contingent of fans at their away games. No one seems to complain about that. It's today's NFL!

Local news stations here in DC were at the airports doing the "busiest travel day of the year" bit, and they interviewed quite a few skins fans who were headed to Dallas for the game. I hope they are still heavily outnumbered by Cowboys fans today.

There will be tons. Thanksgiving is a scalpers holiday.

there were a ton for the RG3 turkey game. Not as many as the saints turkey game in 2010 but still a ton. Did they all travel? Probably not, I imagine most live in the area but there are some who travel.

I had 8 people from baltimore next to me sunday. People like to come here and they will pay whatever the price is.

 

[erod]

There were a ton of Ravens fans. There will be even more Commanders fans. There always are, even when they're bad.

 

[StylisticS]

There will be Commander fans there. But probably not overwhelming. I flew from Baltimore to Houston this past Saturday and there were a bunch of Raven fans flying from BWI to Texas. In 2012, there were a large amount of Skins fans but most of those were simply Baylor fans supporting their boy I bet. I doubt they are still on that bandwagon.

 

[jazzcat22]

The past record on that issue does not matter for today's game. It has nothing to do with it.

I have quite a few friends that work at DFW...maybe their flights will get delayed...
