Hi Guys,

I come from Scotland UK and I will be going to watch my first game in
Washington when the skins play the cowboys in December. I would
appreciate it if you guys could help me with some concerns that I
have.

Can you recommend a hotel that will be easy to commute to and from
Dulles airport and Fedex Field (I have been told to try the Washington
Plaza, does anyone know anything about the hotel?? and can I commute
easily to and from) The other issue that I have is that I could fly
home on the first of January, will there be transport for me to get to
the airport, i.e. cab, metro or bus.

Now here comes the tricky question, "tickets" I have been looking at
some websites (what website would you recommend to buy from) for
tickets and they say that some of the seats have restricted viewing,
how bad is the view? The area I was looking at was section 218/219
lower level sideline.
All information is greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hoggie

Well,

Welcome to Washington (in advance) and you picked about the worst place to 
come into.  Not that Dulles is a bad airport, but it's completely on the 
opposite side of DC.  If you can arrange it, you should come into BWI which 
has some great hotels, and is right off of I-95 which will take you straight 
to FedEx.  In terms of a clock, Dulles is at 9:00, FedEx is at 3:00 and BWI 
is about half way between 1:00 and 2:00.  From BWI there is a bus that takes 
you to the Greenbelt Metro Station and from there you take two trains and a 
10 minute walk to FedEx.  From Dulles, there's a bus 
(http://www.wmata.com/timetables/dc/5a.pdf) that takes you L'Enfant Plaza 
Station and you can get the train out to FedEx from there.

I would definitely recommend getting tickets straightened out before 
committing to your flight.  Redskins games have been sold out since Lyndon 
Johnson was President (the 1960's) and Dallas is THE game to go to.  So even 
if you would have people begging you to take their tickets for other games, 
Dallas is a biggee.

I hope you have a wonderful time, and I hope you see the Redskins blow the 
Cowboys out, because there's nothing like being in the middle of a Redskin 
win over Dallas.
