I am not fond of it either.

The mystery is how JKC, a guy who built the LA Forum and owned the Chrysler Building, could have approved such a hideous design.

Back then, it was only about being bigger and having more butts in the seats rather than actual design of the stadium. It was also about trapping as much crowd noise within the stadium as possible to make it tough on opponents. But, overall, I hate Fedex. It looks more like a big, gigantic advertisement for Fedex than it does a football stadium.

That won't change with a new stadium.

Whatever it is.. Snyder will sell it. "We're here at FedEx Field in the KFC Broadcast Booth reading the McDonalds scoreboard with the SJ-9 ass in the Office Depot Chair"

That's what kills me about all of the modern day NFL stadiums. You have AT&T stadium, Fedex Stadium, Bank of America Stadium......I absolutely hate that! Way too corporate.

I am convinced that me and the architect are the only 2 people on Earth that like the mote idea.

I loved the two short years where it was known as "The Cookie Monster"

Disappointed at Independence Air being the official Airline of the Washington Redskins for the 12 months they were in existence. I do really miss Independence. Came in at the exact wrong time.

Morris is visiting Dallas today. I think I'm going to be sick.

He was my favorite Redskin since ST21, and a top 5 favorite Redskin of all-time for me. I'm sad it didn't work out here, and definitely wish him the best in the future. But then I heard he's visiting Dallas. Anywhere but there, Alf
