Schedule
Friday, 13 August 2010: Buffalo Bills (Preseason)Kickoff at 1930/7:30pm; Lots Open at 1530/3:30pm
Saturday, 21-Aug-2010: Baltimore Ravens (Preseason)Kickoff at 1900/7pm; Lots Open at 1500/3pm
Sunday, 12 September 2010: Dallas CowboysKickoff at 2030/8:30pm; Lots Open at 1200
For the season opener, the lots will open eight hours early with plenty of things happening all around:
- There will be video boards scattered throughout the lots showing the Red Zone Channel.
- The band and cheerleaders will march around the stadium.
Sunday, 19 September 2010: Houston TexansKickoff at 1615/4:15pm; Lots Open at 1200
We are back to the normal four-hour for this game against a solid AFC team.
Sunday, 10 October 2010: Green Bay PackersKickoff at 1300/1pm; Lots Open at 0900
The Packers make only their second visit to Washington since 1979 in what appears to be Fox's primary game of the week.
Sunday, 17 October 2010: Indianapolis ColtsKickoff at 2030/8:30pm; Lots Open at 1400/2pm
Another earlier lot opening, this is the First Annual Homecoming Game with over 50 Redskins alumni on hand. A parade around the stadium with them, the cheerleaders and band beings at 1700/5pm. The alumni will also be recognized prior to kickoff.
Finally, recently inducted Hall of Famer "'Russ Grimm'" will receive his HOF ring at a halftime ceremony.
Monday, 15 November 2010: Philadelphia EaglesKickoff at 2040/8:40pm; Lots Open at 1630/4:30pm
For the second straight season, our game with the Eagles is a Monday contest. I would expect the lots to open earlier and will update the time when it is known.
Sunday, 28 November 2010: Minnesota VikingsTENTATIVE: Kickoff at 1300/1pm; Lots Open at 0900
Brett Favre makes what could be his last visit to Washington in a key NFC matchup that could have playoff implications.
This is also the first of three home games in the Flex Scheduling period and, because Fox did not protect this game for their Sunday afternoon lineup (they protected Eagles-Bears), there is a slight chance that this goes to Sunday night on NBC.
Sunday, 12 December 2010: Tampa Bay BuccaneersTENTATIVE: Kickoff at 1300/1pm; Lots Open at 0900
Although this is in the Flex Scheduling window and not protected by Fox (who chose this week to not protect any games), it is unlikely this game will move out of the early time slot.
Sunday, 2 January 2011: New York GiantsTENTATIVE: Kickoff at 1300/1pm; Lots Open at 0900
The regular season finale and a week where all 16 games are intradivisional matchups (Dallas is at Philadelphia). This is the final home game in the Flex Scheduling window and, because it is the final week, neither Fox nor CBS are allowed to protect any games from moving to Sunday night.
I would expect the kickoff to move, at least to 1615/4:15pm if not night, for two reasons:
- the two New York teams generally do not play at the same time; the Jets are hosting a bad Bills team which means that game would likely stay in the early time slot; and
- with Dallas foundering and the rest of the division hanging tough (after six weeks), this game could have the greatest impact on the division thereby making it a good candidate for Sunday night.

Our Menu
While it varies from game to game, there will always be at least two dozen marinated jumbo shrimp for the grill and plenty of jello shooters (for the adults).
Rally Point
For those with Orange passes, we meet on Arena Drive anywhere from 90 minutes to three hours before the scheduled opening of the parking lots.
For those with other color permit passes ...
For those with other color permit passes ...
- purple: H-2 is right across the street from us and I believe Morgan Boulevard (via Central Avenue) is the best access point.
- green: closest lot to us is A-4 which is best accessed from Morgan Boulevard.
- gray and copper: those are on the other side of the stadium and you are in for a walk.
Lot Information
H-31 is at the front of Orange Lot H-3 on the south side of the stadium. It is directly accessible on game days via the Arena Drive exit only.
We set up multiple canopies on a grass area that is within sight of the Comcast Sportsnet Booth (Gate H) and the Redskins Hall of Fame Store (between Gates H and A).

Group Etiquette
... very friendly and relatively low key. For late afternoon and night games, we will have a TV on hand for watching other NFL games while others get their groove going by dancing to music courtesy of an iPod.
