FedEx does suck though. The place can get surprisingly loud for an open stadium of that size. It really is hard to call past games by the Redskins big games. There hasn't always been that much immediate significance and in the end they rarely mean anything in Redskin history. This victory meant nothing to the Cowboys and in the end the Skins didn't need to win...<BR/><BR/>The biggest games in FedEx history might not have been American football. The match between DC United and Chelsea FC was pretty good and exciting and that was as good a crowd as FedEx has seen. That was essentially an exhibition, but FedEx has been the site of meaningful matches(something significant Skins games often aren't). FedEx hosted some matches for the 1999 Women's World Cup.<BR/><BR/>Of course the biggest game in FedEx history includes the colors at the beginning of my post. The Black Coaches Association game between Virginia Tech and the University of Southern California is probably the loudest that stadium will ever be and held the attendance record for the stadium. The pass interference call against the Hokies that changed the momentum of the game and allowed USC to go on to an undefeated season still irritates VT fans even though the game was the last of the "pre-season" games not counted by the BCS. It was an underrated game and the beginning of an improbable season for a Tech team that concluded their season making it to the Sugar Bowl to face undefeated Auburn who was mad about not being in the National Championship game. That Sugar Bowl was the last big football game in the Superdome before Hurricane Katrina. Now I'm talking about big games for another stadium though....<BR/><BR/>I just thought I'd go at things a little differently. Good work though.sitrucnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592428.post-42551661803500760892007-12-30T22:46:00.000-05:002007-12-30T22:46:00.000-05:00Thanks for polling Antzo.
