I’m the biggest redskins fan in south Texas. I attended the opener 1995 game against the cardinals. Singing HTTR while jack Kent Cooke leaned out of his box was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The entire stadium would shake. Great atmosphere
Dan Snyder has run one of the proudest franchises in football into the ground. Sad
Edit: Rejoice Washington fans!!
He’s utterly destroyed it. Damn him all to hell. Ditto for Chad Englehart.
Couldn't agree more 👏. I Will root for the team but Will Not purchase any gear as long as Snyder owns the team!!!
That’s absolutely correct. I remember we were really a dominating team back in the Joe Gibbs days in the 80’s & early 90’s. I really hope we play better now but Dan Snyder really screwed us down. Miss saying this Hail to the Redskins!
I grew up a redskins fan, my elementary teacher was a die hard fan and taught me everything about the game. I switched to the Ravens after the RG3 debacle, best choice I’ve ever made. Dan Snyder doesn’t deserve our money and attention
Man don’t even get me started 😢
RFK was one of the best stadiums in the NFL...great home field advantage...this GIants fan misses his team making the annual trip to RFK and those legendary Giants-Redskins games. If we won there, it felt like a huge accomplishment because Washington was tough as nails under Gibbs
The Gibbs vs Parcells games were awesome.
Great i95 northeast rivalry
Here, here. I'm a Giants fan too and feel the same exact way.
That's true. Washington being in middle between North, and South. But, even more than the Giants were the games between Cowboys and Redskins.
Beating the Cowboys really mattered if you were from around Washington. Same beating. the Redskins if you were from Dlallas.
RFK was where I saw the Washington Senators play when it was D.C. Stadium before the name chang, drink Ripple Wine, saw Concerts, and most importantly saw the Redskins play live a few times. Tickets were hard to get. Man, that place just rocked when the Redskins played!!! Much better ownership then.
@@jonbeckleymorrisblues Miss you guys as our rivals (another Giants fan).
One of the iconic stadiums in NFL history. My feeling is had the Redskins never left there they'd still be a proud franchise with that home field
Yes! You are so right! We belonged in that stadium.
& without Dan Snyder
Wouldn’t have mattered with the current leadership situation at the helm. Our prayers have been answered though, and soon we will return to the proud franchise we once were!
I agree but it was too old, it didn't have luxury boxes like we know them today, and it was a small stadium for football, it was small at the time and it would have been smaller in today's era. Upgrades can be made, but it takes money and patience. Green Bay and Chicago have done an amazing job in staying with the times.
I'm a lifelong Detroit lions fan but this is by far the best fight song in NFL history!
Agreed. As a Lion fan growing up (until I defected to the Bears in 1999) the Redskins were always my 1A NFL team, until Snyder crapped them out..now they are the - ahem - Commanders.
@@lousanto1054 your 100% right, as soon as Snyder bought the team it went from a fine respectfully run franchise to all of a sudden being run to the ground, and it's a shame for all the great Commander fans!
A time that will NEVER happen again. Always and forever a Redskin fan!
I am a Raiders fan and i agree 2000%!Redskins forever and fuck the wokes!
It was the end of an era
It can if they move back to DC. Never should have moved to MD and definitely don’t belong in Virginia
Redskins won their last game in RFK.Ravens kicked the Cowboys asses in their last game in Texas Stadium.
The Redskins just kicked the Cowboys asses last Thursday in the new Texas stadium and Jerry Jones was caught on camera crying Cowboy tears! Lol
The day DC died. DCs soul left with the skins and both haven’t been the same since.
RFK Stadium was the soul of DC sports.
Absolutely!
As a diehard cowboys fan nothing but respect for the Washington fan base.
Same
Same as well salute to you friendly Ol' hate that's it
I’m grateful to have felt the electricity at RFK during an NFL playoff game. Magic!
I keep coming back to this video today. I knew this day would come. I was less than a year old when they played the final game at RFK. I missed out on the glory years. I never got to see my team play at what I consider the best stadium with the best home field advantage in the NFL. I never got see them win a super bowl, and I had to witness so many lows over the years, but I loved this team more than anything. My love for the team connected me to family I never got the chance to meet. Despite all the lows I have endured, I would not trade any of the great memories watching and attending games with my dad and my younger brother. Nothing lasts forever, except for my belief that I will always love my team in the Nation’s Capital. Hail forever!
Well said my friend. I grew up a Skins fan and so was my dad. I was 5 years old when Joe T. got his leg broke. I got to see some really good years even though I was really young. I'm from Charlotte so when we got the Panthers I had to pull for our hometown team...but the Skins will always have a special place in my heart. I love that Ron R. is now the coach. Hopefully he can pull some strings and take them back to the SB. Its been WAY too long! HTTR and #keeppounding. :)
I was 11 when we lost to the Undefeated Dolphins and I lost my first bet ever, $5 to a grown woman. Five weeks allowance. I had to wait around 10 yrs, for Riggo to break that 4th & 1, for the game winner. The one I'll never get over is the Raiders the very next year. No way we ever should have lost that one. I still have my Program from this game. I wonder if a 25yr old program is worth anything.
@@southvanotblue9884 Hell I’d buy it but I am a broke college student 😂
@@robbob5471 I'm from VA Beach, and went to College next to VPI at Radford. Are you from the No. VA area. That little icon photo is in the front yard of my dorm(Muse) when I was a broke College student. Back then 60% of the kids in VA wore Skins' jerseys on Sunday, 30%Cowboys, & 10% other. Do you remember when the D-line tipped that ball, & Sweat took it in for a TD on Dallas. Have you ever looked at highlights from 1982? NFC Championship against Dallas, when the fans had the endzone bleachers bouncing after DL Gen.(Darryl) Grant tipped the Cowboys pass, caught it, and went rumbling & bumbling in for a TD. I thought the bleachers were coming down. That was my first game & I got a free ticket. But, if you respond, I may have something for you, better than the program.
I think owners in the NFL are trying to turn this franchise into and NFL owned. By having allowed Snyder to purchase the team with his many questionable business issues they knew he would not do this franchise well. Owner when bringing a potential new owner in generally check their background thoroughly. I don't believe all of what has occurred was a stunning development to them.
There was magic in that old place. I think it was Charles Mann who said that RFK by many's estimation was dump compared to the newer stadiums but he finished his statement by proclaiming "it was our dump!" I really wish during an anniversary year they would go back and play one more game there
I am truly proud to be a Skins fan, no matter what others say, nothing will stir my faith from the Skins, every year I'll support and cheer, if we lose, then we lose, no excuses, but that won't stop me from putting on my Redskins jersey , hat, jacket, chain, gloves, and scarf every monday-sunday, #HTTR
+Thanos The Mad Titan Same here lets hope for a win against Green Bay we need this!!
Mark Moody indeed but sadly we won't make the Supwr Bowl yet
Idk some are comparing us to the Giants when they beat the Patriots the 2nd time we are a hot team; just gotta have stick it out; enjoy the game!!
Mark Moody same to you mate
***** I don't care mate, at this point we gotta go with him until the wheels fall off
Washington Redskins, the greatest franchise of all time! Watching Redskins has been my hobby for my whole life. I haven't missed seeing a game since 1990, either live or on TV. I have meet Sonny and I was born on the same day Joe Theisman was born 09/09/1949. My nickname is "Chief".
Is there any better way to end an era than with a blowout over the Cowboys?! I think not!
I Was There. Wow!! HTTR. Bring the name back. 🎉❤
This should bring a tear to the eye of every true Skins fan! RFK will never be matched...nothing fancy, just loud, dedicated fans and REAL football.
I flew up from Florida to go to this game,( and see family for the holidays) I have been and will always be a REDSKIN fan. I dont care what the call them. HTTR
HTTR!!!! and im a Giants fan.
HTTR!!!!
After that eagles game I know for damn sure you won't be saying that again
I may be born and raised in TN, but i will always be a Redskins fan.
TrenchcoatNinja3 same
Before the Falcons Washington Redskin games were broadcast all thru the South. Still in Virginia....
I had tickets to this last game at RFK... I sold them to a kid for $30.
Idiot
That’s kinda dumb imo, but it was your ticket
@@jazz_prodzz5761 I had seen a hundred games at RFK.
Many great memories of when I was in my early teens and my pride for the REDSKINS. Now I am old and have no team. Ahhh poor me.😭😭😭
RFK Stadium was a great place for Redskins games in D.C. Redskins fan in NJ! GO Redskins! P.S. Dallas fans had a bad day in that stadium sitting in thier seats watching the skins just destory the cowboys!
Me as longtime Niner fan 🤝Redskins fans
Hating the Dallas Cowboys
@@brucecooke5194 It's the one time that even us mid-1980s fans of both teams can agree to it against Dallas. Joe Montana and Joe Theismann? Different times, man!
RIP Redskins. There is no replacement.
What a special moment. What a special place and time. This literally brought tears to my eyes. Lifelong skins fan here, the glory is still alive within me. Thank you so much for posting this. Means a lot to so many of us.
Much love from this Miami Dolphins fan...the best fight song in all of football ❤
WERE BAAACK!!
Damn shame they stopped playing this - grew up listening to HAIL
This just makes me so sad… it’s what I grew up with…. Forever redskins!!!
Me too.
I was at that game and the first at Fedex as well. Miss RFK. Those were the days.
God bless you for recording that. Wow. What memories. Dan Snyder needs to watch that and figure out how recapture that magic.
I’m a diehard Raven fan, born in 03. But all the way back to when I was a kid, I always said my second favorite team was the Redskins. My father and my grandmother were super fans, and I always grew up around the logo and the song being played. Don’t get me wrong, I BLEED purple. But I still love the Redskins. Probably just because I reminisce on my father and grandmother being huge super fans of them. It sad the way the team went out the way it did, but at least my father and grandmother got to see the golden days. Maybe one day, we’ll see the Skins make a comeback officially. In my heart and in my head, they can call the Washington team whatever they want “officially” in the NFL. They’ll always be the Washington Redskins for me. HTTR!
Song still gives me chills to this day. My family held 8 season tickets from 1953 to 2018. Rarely missed a game.
Love the Hechinger sign in the background.
Please bring this back to DC! Its not the same
Thank you for those nice words!! I hate how so many fans behave anymore!! It just removes the joy and fun from the game!! Thanks for being a REAL FAN!! gOD BLESS! Oh, I always thought Mark Bavaro was a classy act! I loved his abilities!!
I WAS THERE. I STILL HAVE THE TICKET STUBS! (and some of the End zone turf in a ziplock!! Some of which I cross Seder into my front yard.)
2022 here. Seems like they are going to start this song again but with different lyrics this year. The new and old shall rise. Hail from Florida grew up in VA and Im still a fan. Thanks for the memories. Lets make some new ones!
This is still the best version I've heard. It's too bad Mr. Kent Cooke died, the team hasn't been the same since that spoiled rich kid took over the team.
Jack could have prevented that by selling the team to a son John instead of being all idealistic (He left him lots of money but he screwed him on the Redskins without there being any rift and screwed the fans of course too incidentally)
Brings years to my eyes lord,,!!!!!!!
I was at that game, and I met several old Skins' players in the parking lot, before the game. Jacoby blew my mind. He looked like a former basketball player, he had lost so much weight. I dug up a bit of turf from the fifty yd line. And the funnest part was, even though they didn't play, Troy & Deion were on front seat of this bus that came rolling through those of us fans, who were waiting for the players to come out afterwards. We flipped them off and told them how Dallas Sucks, in a fun rivalry manner, and they just grinned and waved, like that's what they expected us to do. Besides, they were going to the playoffs and we were going to Landover to die.
Theres a lot to comment here, I'll save that for another time, but I'm so glad Fox TV broadcast this game in L.A. and that the Redskins did not waste the opportunity to clobber the Cowboys.
If it had to end, this is about the best way.
I was THERE.
Ten Days after I was born 🤟🏼
Best sports fight song ever!! High school college pro. Nobody’s comes close
Being a Cowboy fan all my life🤔😕. the Cowboys vs Redskins games in past was the Best games to watch always. To me the washington always be REDSKINS
Not to be racist, but I’m used to the Cowboys and Indians matchups. That’s the era I grew up. It’s a long and old rivalry. And a tradition every year.
Wasn't a Redskins fan growing up (Dallas fan), but now, looking back, RFK was a great place for football. The field could get a little swampy and I loved the mud on the white Redskins uniforms, which can't be replicated with rubber beaded infill. And by the way, weren't the home Redskins uniforms about the sharpest thing you've ever seen? And then there was the amber in the RFK stadium lights that gave a late November game on CBS a golden glow. I'll always associate Madden and Summerall with the Cowboys, but also with Redskins games. And remember when NFL offenses looked different from team to team? Like Joe Theismann dropping straight back, and then sprinting out to the right and throwing a perfect pass to Charlie Brown or Art Monk. followed by the bouncing endzone and "Hail To The Redskins." I'd be sitting in my parent's house (kid at the time) in the warm TV Room watching on a color console TV while Mom was making dinner. Man. What I'd give to go back and appreciate the time even more. Today's NFL is boring. It's like every time team has been issued the same playbook from New York, and everyone runs the exact same "White 80. White 80" plays. Watching late season Redskins games at RFK had this odd combination of a fall pickup football game + high school and college all rolled into an NFL Game.
This is so sad. I know Dan is a human being but man he literally ruined one of the greatest franchises in all of sports
Need bring back ole days 👍💪🤜👊🤛👌✌️🇺🇲🏈
As a native Washingtonian, and thinking back to the days of Theismann, Riggins, & Monk - this made me tear up a little. First pro game I ever attended was @ RFK.
This game is one of my first real memories of the team. I was about nine and it was one of the few games you could see in Jersey in the dark days before Sunday ticket. I grew up in Jersey but I always knew I bled burgundy and gold! Three generations!
Redskins won their opening game today. Until they actually adopt a new name I am not going to stop calling them the Redskins because somebody else is trying to decide for me that I can't call them that!
I'll call them Redskins AFTER the new name and I'm not even a fan. Hail to the Football Team doesn't quite do it. If they really wanted to make the name less offensive they should have nixed "Washington"
@@tomservo75 lol. Good last line! (It's the truth) I'll always think of them and call them the Skins too.
A bye gone era. I’d gladly go back to that time
Boy it was a Hard ticket to get! Saw many Baseball games there as a young kid but only saw one Skins game...they won!;)))
There are no fans in the NFL better than the fans of the Washington Redskins. I love this team and I love its rich heritage. Granted we haven't won as many games as we would have liked in the last 20 years but we are still one of the greatest. Hail to the Redskins!
Hail Victory!
Braves on the Warpath!
Fight for Ole DC!
I was at this game. I'll never forget running on to the field after the game.
I remember people taking ziplocks filled with the turf.
@@jackpackage287 Still got the turf in one of the burgundy and gold sandwich coolers that they used to give out...What a night that was...🎉🎉🎉
RFK -The Greatest Stadium ever to watch a Redskins-Dallas game.
2021 week 14 Dallas week
We NEED THIS MAGIC
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏 legendario. Forever REDSKINS
God I wish I was born 45 years ago
i was at this game. very very special. httr.
Hail to the football team
0:40 is when the song begins.
My God, it was great to go to a game and be surrounded by only Redskins fans.
The way we are playing this season, we are going to hear a lot of this song, I hope!!!
I miss the Redskins. I miss what the NFL used to be. I miss the joy of winning and being mad for 3 days after they lost.
Always be Redskins to me
RFK quickly became a dump unfortunately. I was there for the maryland-ecu bowl game a few years back and it has really started to show its age. Fine for a soccer team but there is a reason why the nationals moved out.
lol, this is like a perfect slice of late 90s americana...
Great memories!!
Well with the new owners it looks like you Washington fans might get your old name and stadium back. It sounds like the new owners might be thinking about moving back into this stadium after some costly renovations of coarse.
I always knew that good ole Santa was a true Skins fan.
Ahhhhh, yea,...I am born and raised in Bethesda Maryland, tell me all about it !!
I live in Maryland. The "Maryland sucks" chant is accurate. I don't know if I've heard one good thing/one person voice support for FedEx Field.
The Greatest Football Fight song EVER!!!!
WHEN THE BLEACHERS IN RFK ARE A ROCKIN......DALLAS DONT YOU BE A KNOCKIN' !!!!!
Hail!
Born in 1995
I’ve been to RKF to Watch El Salvador soccer ⚽️
This is what i missed out on !!
Bleacher ROCKING
HTTR!!!!!!!!!!!!
My childhood days 💯🇺🇸👊
might not be able to ever sing this after a touchdown ever again
Fans outta sing it anyway at home games. Stick it to the PC police.
@@finchborat sing it dis season
Way before everyone got woke and butt hurt and offended and loved the name it makes me sad that this was such a great American pastime and now they treat it like it's garbage screw you cancel culture and ruining a great football franchise I know Dan Snyder is not the best owner in the NFL and he is hurt the team more than he's helped it but at least he tried his damnedest to keep the name all hail the Redskins!
Black, white, red... everyone singing in unison the great HTTR! Too bad the PC crew won and Dan Snyder was allowed to run the franchise 6ft under.
O. My god it the best HTTR
@jpv3 i have to agree with ya my favorite redskins cowboys moments was the 1982 nfc championship game it's on my redskins dvd Go Redskins
What has gone right in Washington since Snyder purchased the team? Nothing. This is what you get when a team owner can care less about tradition and fans. But purchases the team for the tax write offs.
What has this team become
woke
1:45 You know what else sucks? "Commanders" 😂😂😂😂😂
PC Police stopped Hail to the Redskins.
There still the redskins to me
The Washington football team should have never left rfk stadium they should definitely go back there now that they’ve changed the name I think that’s part of the reason they had to leave there
I would like to start a petition to kick rick fedorick off of youtube, the craybaby
Like the design shirts
😢😢😢
Rivera.... Will bring back the glory days with the legend of Taylor Heinicke
#HAILVICTORY 💪🎉

I was at this game. Never forget it. Too bad the woke people cancaled this tradition. This team will never be the same as the redskims.
I love that the fans are chanting "Dallas sucks" "Dallas sucks"! Lol I loved going to games at RFK! The stadium actually vibrated when the fans went crazy! I am always going to call them the Redskins.
My God the woke NFL has absolutely destroyed the league as a whole. I love watching the Redskins under Joe Gibbs. That team was tough and they played together as a unit. Now these players are bunch of spoiled whiny brats
Patriots need to estabolish a new football league and have a REDSKINS named team in WASINGTON and then beat the carp out of The WOK Snyder'S COMNODORES. HAIL TI THE REDAKINS. DAVID
Rip
the redskins may not win as many as liked by me...but we still better than all the rest of them and we should be proud. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
