A dinner gala, to honor Joe Gibbs and the “Gridiron Warriors” who led the Skins to the three Lombardi Trophies, would follow the tailgate inside the stadium, on the RFK grass where so much gloriousness took place.
Gibbs would be both the featured guest and a speaker at the dinner. Skins owner Dan Snyder would address the bash, also, giving his remarks “on the upcoming Redskins season.” Fans in attendance, which would number 20,000 according to the invite, would get a chance to ask questions of their heroes. The celebration would be capped off with a “Monte Carlo night” program after the dinner, where fans and guests of honor could commingle.
Ticket packages were advertised from $25 to $12,500 for what the invite dubs “the greatest sporting event ever held” in the city.
