It's a bit more than a sky box Busboy. Events for Congress actually start before the game at Union Station in downtown DC. FedEx then busses the congressmen and their staffs to FedEx field by motor coach. We're talking the "owners box" and hundreds of 50 yard line tickets. It's a waaaaay bigger deal than having a corporate box at a major sporting event.
And just for the record ... EVERY Redskins game is sold out (even during really bad record seasons).
