You had a TV?
When I was a kid there were no worries about what to where or how cold it was going to be at a Redskins game. Could never get tickets. Every year, year after year all the tickets were spoken for before the season started.
Moved away in 1979 and haven't tried since.
Redskins have sold every home game out since 1966. Only the Packers have a longer sellout streak (1960).
