Hey guys! Packer fan here and I come in peace. I will be attending the game on Nov 20 and I had a few questions. I just moved to Virginia two weeks ago for grad school so I'm still exploring the area, but is there anything I should check out besides D.C.? And I am staying a mile away from the stadium. Would that be a safe walk at night after the game?

Check out Clarendon. 6 or 7 bars all within range of each other. Fun town for college kids and 35 year olds acting like they still belong in that scene
Ok will do! Thanks!
To those of you telling him not to go to the game, I really hope you go to multiple games a year and at the very least aren't one of those holier than though "FedEx is literally filled with feces and I would never step foot there" types. If you aren't putting up money to fill the seats in our own stadium then shut up when other teams fans take advantage of the availability.
Season ticket holder here. Split the games between a friend and I who are diehards
Then you are fine, and can say anything you want :)
Don't come
You got it.
Stay home
Not welcome
Stay safe in Landover....
A mile? Yes you will be fine in Landover, it's mostly factories/warehouses. Aside from that the goddamn parking lot's are a mile away from the stadium. But seriously yeah it's all good. Skins fans aren't "violent" if that's what you are thinking. It's not like San Francisco and Arizona or anything.
or Philly.
Lol.
Yea I just wasn't sure if the area was sketchy. I've been to DC a few times late a night visit friends walking around and it's a little uncomfortable. I'm just not used to it I guess. Yea I never met a bad Skins fan before and I generally like the team so I'm looking forward to the game! Thanks for the info!
DC has some fucking war zones, it's true. I went to school there for a year, got mugged once, and another guy tried a second time. Plus just the general pop pop pop of unlicensed medicine salesmen having disagreements about which corner was who's.
Just stay the fuck out of Anacostia. I took the wrong exit once, ended up there at midnight, was trying to get back, saw a cop car and pulled up beside it. He looked up from his paperwork and said "you're in the wrong neighborhood kid." I said "yes sir I am, which way to the interstate?"
Oh dang haha. I will try to remember that!
Some parts are sketchy, just like any city, but the stadium is no where close to the city (kind of). I work on 9th street and live in PG County (Where the stadium is), and I've never had a problem with crime riding the metro or walking DC streets late at night/early in the morning.
