For a Washington DC (DMV) resident, it was considered "privileged" to have Redskin season tickets.
Same here. My grandfather and his best friend each bought a season ticket in the early 1960s to have something to do on Sundays. We kept them in the family until two years ago. We had killer seats at RFK, I got to watch a ton of games there as well. When they moved to Fedex we were in the lower ring. Awesome seats there as well.

The tickets were never cheap, but if we ever needed to get rid of some we had a 'waiting list' of our own. As the team got worse and worse, interest dropped off for our friends and family and it got to the point where we literally couldn't give the tickets away. When they came up for renewal two years ago, we declined.
