PFW hits the road … and the road hits back!

Which way to FedEx Field?
So, as you may have already read on Fred’s “Kirsch Words” blog, we had a little incident on the way to the game tonight. A players and coaches bus broke down as we pulled onto the highway, so the police escort had to stop in the breakdown lane, unload us, and put the remaining members of the team on board our bus. Meanwhile, we waited a few minutes for a shuttle bus from our hotel to arrive and then fight our way through Beltway traffic at rush hour.
Eventually, we met up again with part of our police escort, which ferried us safely to the stadium without much more delay. All in all, we got here about 45 minutes later than scheduled.
The shuttle ride was actually a riot. Our party included about 20 people (media relations, PFW, the radio broadcast team, and others), and we all shared horror stories of previous travel disasters on the way to and from games over the years.
Now, hopefully, we can play this game, avoid the approaching storm, and get home safe and sound. Keep your fingers crossed for us …

The “Hit the Road” idea is a good one. It allows us fans to vicariously travel to the road games. Thanks. (Did you like the use of the word ‘vicarious’ Erik?).

Has Pauls head been shrunk, or does Andy just have that affect on poeple next to him?

Agreed! Love to see you guys at the different cities. And the traffic in and around DC is horrendous!
