The Washington Redskins are on a quest to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2012, when quarterback Robert Griffin III was a rookie. Not a lot has gone right since then, as injuries have derailed their plans of being a contender year-in and year-out.
Before training camp begins and roster positions are fought for, one component of the 2015 NFL season has already gone Washington’s way. In an article produced by CBSSports.com, the Redskins have the second-least amount of estimated travel miles for the upcoming season. Only the Philadelphia Eagles travel less than the Redskins this season. Washington will travel an estimated 7,150 miles, and for comparison’s sake, the San Francisco 49ers have the most with 27,998 estimated miles.
In addition to some traveling options provided by Hipmunk.com for Redskins road games this season, below are the three most expensive Washington Redskins tickets on the secondary market for their matchups away from home. Ticketing information is provided by TiqIQ.com.
11/8/2015 | New England Patriots vs. Washington Redskins | Gillette Stadium | Average Price: $361.50 | Get-in Price: $143
Washington gets a crack at the defending Super Bowl champions in November when they travel to Foxboro to face the New England Patriots. The trip is over eight hours by car, with a distance of about 430 miles. Flights to Boston through Hipmunk have a travel time of around an hour-and-a-half, with a round trip ticket costing about $170. This will absolutely be one of the most anticipated games this season on Washington’s schedule.
12/13/2015 | Chicago Bears vs. Washington Redskins | Soldier Field | Average Price: $296.45 | Get-in Price: $90
Not many football stadiums have the allure and historic feeling of Soldier Field, the longtime home of the Bears. Round trip Chicago flights will place Redskins fans at the stadium in about two hours’ time, costing around $150. If a football road trip is on the horizon, the estimated 700-mile trip will take nearly 11 hours by car.
1/3/2015 | Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins | AT&T Stadium | Average Price: $236.96 | Get-in Price: $51
Forget driving to Dallas. This division rivalry game at AT&T Stadium would take nearly 20 hours by car, adding about 1,300 miles to your car’s engine. Round trip flights to Dallas are the most expensive compared to the other two games listed above, costing over $300, but on the contrary, the $51 get-in price is the least of three.
