Redskins are Moving Sean Taylor's Locker to Club Level

by Kevin Ewoldt on Apr 16, 2010 3:52 PM EDT in Redskins News

Anything related to Sean Taylor is a touchy subject, so some fans are sure to be a little riled up with this news. Given the new chapter of this Redskins franchise, the team has decided to move Sean's locker to the Club level at Fedex.

"We wanted to respect Sean's memory and find an appropriate place to display the locker he used every day at Redskins Park," General Manager Bruce Allen said in a statement provided to The Post. "We know how much Sean meant and still means to our fans and we are happy to be able to share this with them."

I personally like the move. Sean is still dear to our hearts, but it's time for the locker room to move on given the new coaching staff and the many players who were not here during the time of his death.

Some fans are questioning the placing of Taylor's locker in the club level as a future marketing gimmick, but would you really want to see it on the lower or upper level concourses? Drunk, opposing fans would go out of their way to mess with it...not to mention the other concourses are outdoors. Fans can still access the club level at other events such as the draft day party, concerts, and stadium tours. It's all good, Bruce.

RIP Sean.

I got no problem with this, it had to happen some time.

They should cast the entire locker in platinum.

+1

I’m all about it – it’s not like regular fans had any access to it in the locker room anyway, so now we actually have better access.

I’d be okay with moving it to a public concourse as well – just put a video camera on that, and have someone watching it the whole time. Punishment for any jack@ss caught messing with it will be getting tackled without pads (heck let ‘em wear pads for all the good it’ll do) by LaRon (or maybe bring back Arrington) with a running start.

You can still go to the club level for the "5th quarter" after every game, right?

club level concourse is pretty rowdy during games

just sayin’
like the move as long as it doesn’t get used for some marketing BS

idk...

i doubt anyone would be a dick enough to mess with his locker especially not with redskins fans around…that is a VERY bad idea VERY….

abra-cadabra homes!

A good idea....

..as long as Snyder doesn’t make it into an “Eastern Motors – where your job is your credit – Sean Taylor Memorial” or something like that. I would protest if Snyder charged admission to see it. I don’t think he’d do that, though….would he?

never....he still donates all proceeds from his jerseys to ST's foundation
