Normally hate the end zones for football games but I had a great time here, mainly because the fans were so into it. Redskins fans are a pretty passionate fan base.
We sat in row 5, were very close to the field. Great section to watch warmups from. Fantastic view when the ball was close but the view of the game diminished when the ball was pushed near the opposite side.
The closer you sit to the field, the less you will notice the uprights. If you enter Gate F on the East side of the stadium, all you have to do is walk straight ahead to get to your seats in 131 and you won't have to battle the crowds getting in.
Wish I could recommend places to eat near the stadium but there is nothing within walking distance. If you're in the mood for eating somewhere nice, try Jasper's.
