Military Bowl Tickets

The program was run well at RFK for the Military Bowl. Entry and exit was smooth; food services were fine, and bathrooms were clean. We used the DC Metro to get back and forth from the Maryland suburbs. The Maryland Terps performed well against the hapless East Carolina Pirates.

This is the second bowl game I have attended in 3 years at RFK. As for fan base and game play this was the most enjoyable. My only two negative would be 1.) We were in section 503 row 1, at half time I noticed a lady slip at the end of the stairway (I just thought she had missed the step) but when we got up to leave the game - the first step, the cement had started to crumble away. Maybe Historic RFK is not the best place for safety reasons - maybe talk to Dan about using FEDEX field. 2.) I also wanted a game program and never could find anyone selling them - this was a big disappointment!

Game was good albeit a blow-out for Maryland. The Armory "Tailgate Party" was a damn joke. Probably 10,000 there and NO FOOD. Oh yes and if you wanted a drink, you had to wait in line for 20-30 minutes. UNSAT Finally did fight to get an eggroll. ONE eggroll for a 30 minute wait. Are you kidding???. Post Party. Anticlimatic. No one there. Most were probalbly so pissed off from the Tailgate Party that they weren't going to get gyped twice. Northrup should fire whoever set up the huge moneymaker at the Tailgate Party. I AM RETIREED MILITARY AND I HAVE GREAT ALLEGIANCE TO THE GAME. THE PRE AND POST PARTY WERE A MAJOR RIPP OFF AND WILL DISCOURAGE ME FROM ATTENDING NEXT YEAR...NO MATTER WHO PLAYS.

The football game was great. The seats were in a great spot and had a good view of the whole stadium. RFK is not one of those nice new stadiums we are all used to. Its rough, small, and cold but such a big part of Redskins and DC history. I would highly recommend taking Metro in for the game. The traffic is always heavy and there is a lot of convenience in jumping on Metro to get out of the city. My only negative experience for this game was the pregame tailgate party. It was a complete mess. Not nearly enough food for everyone and that food you do get is cold or undercooked. the advertised $2 beer is only in one area of the building and the rest of the beer stands are 4, 6, or $8 a drink. The place was too crowded and terribly organized. I would have loved to have gotten my money back for that portion of the event as would the 3 others I went with. Still, I would love to go to another Terps bowl game someday and if the same tickets came up again I would buy them in a heartbeat.

cold event, parking a bit expensive, easy to get too, great game, easy to see field from any seat

The military bowl was a blow out and rfk is falling apart. The concessions are funny and the restrooms are vile and probably both are spreading disease. But the bowl is a great place to watch a football game and ECU's last ranked defense allowed lots of spectacular offense.

Great game but also a great tribute in many ways to the men and women of our military. Thanks to Northrop Grumman for sponsoring.

The event, a football GAME between 2 good schools was well done. But to be degraded, shouted at by foul mouthed Maryland youths was unacceptable. The drunk and out of control 20 year old Maryland fan in front of us was awful, and he was with his parents. I have a degree from Maryland and a son at ECU. Give me the ECU fans any day. They stand up for their team but I have yet to encounter the display of poor sportsmanship I encountered at this game. The Maryland crowd was down right crass each time I encountered them with my ECU gear displayed. It's no wonder they got this bowl 10 miles from campus-its lucky the rest of the country didn't have to put up with them.

We paid $20 apiece to attend the pre-game tailgate party. When we arrived, an hour and a half before kickoff, there was NO FOOD LEFT! The stadium is old and decrepit, and not worthy of such an event. There were limited food options, and the bathrooms were disgusting. The scoreboard was usually wrong. It could not keep up with the down information in a timely manner.

It was a great day! I have a Neice that is in ECU and a Nephew at MD so it was a great day for me no matter what!! I think the parking lot attendants could have been a bit better but overall everything was good.

It was great to see Ralph go out in style at the Military Bowl. It was appropriate that the side of the stadium with the sunshine went to the Terps this year. My hats off to ECU fans who came out in droves, and wish we had more heart from the local Maryland faithful. I guess that is why the program felt it had to do the changes it did.

Good football game. Would help if they let you know what side of the stadium you are seated on when you purchase the tickets.

The event was fun. But there were very few concession stands open and the only vendors in the stands were selling beer. There were several fights in my section between opposing drunk fans and there was no security to be seen until the last fight when people went tumbling down the concrete stairs.

Game was nice and atmosphere good. However, the ticket we received for 4 hot chocolates and a program was NOT honored. Very disappointing.

I can not begin to tell you how much of a waste of money the tailgate party was, There was way too many people. You had to wait in line for 30 minutes for a meatball. It was absolute ROBBERY!!! They should refund EVERYONE!!!

Facilities were sub par. Not enough vendors (other than beer). Probably not a venue for a bowl game.

The Tailgate was oversold. Getting a hotdog was like standing in a bread line during the Great Depression. The stadium is dirty. The food was too expensive. While this was billed as the Military Bowl, there was little Military presents . overall, disappointing. Being in Washington was great

Game was fine except...the tiny scoreboard always had wrong down and yards and the crew with the chains seldom kept up with play. The tiny screen was smaller than some home tv systems. The worst part was the tailgate party; we paid 40 dollars and got 2 meatballs,, insane unorganized "lines" (if you could tell what was a line and what wasn't), they ran out of food and the 2 dollar beer could, if you were in the wrong line, cost 4 dollars or more. Pitiful event. Seats were fine; viewing the game was no problem (which is good as the scoreboard and yard markers were wrong or behind). If I were MD and invited to this event in the future I would decline. I might add that the "Wounded Warrior" chairty supposedly supported by the game is a terrible one--the name is misleading as little money goes to actual wounded vets. It might go to Gleen Beck or administrative costs. Who knows (check out reviews on this charity it you do not beleive me). Would never attend again. Go Maryland--get a better bowl next year (which of course you actually deserved this year but...)

Great event for D.C. Historic RFK is a fantastic building to host a football game.

Stadium was rockin', easy access to seats/food. Only negative was the wait at the bathrooms.
