It's what happens when you have a rich folks' playpen like FedEx Field and can fill it each week with 91,000 season ticket holders who pay the highest franchises in the league. Unlike how the Eagles do it, you can't buy tickets for a single Redskins game. And the waiting list for season tickets is something like 10 years long. Signed, Your resident sportswriter</p>
