Red-Skins Nation?

That's a really good point. Although even during playoff baseball, you just don't see that absolutely rabidness in the fans eyes that you see on any given week in the NFL. I guess it's just hard to compare. You can't really behave at a baseball game the way you behave at a football game. If I went to a Mets game and started yelling as loud and jumping up and down as much as I do at PSU games, people would 1. Think I was retarded, or 2. Call security to have me escorted out of the stadium (or maybe both).

The only exception to lack of rabid, obnoxious fans at a baseball game would be the Cubs bleacher section.

True that. But is that beer induced, or fanaticism induced? Maybe both.

96.314159% - beer induced.
2% - office workers just pissed off about their job
1.58% - diehard Cubs fan

Wow, now that's precision. Nice work 724

the part about 81 homes games a season compared to 8 hits it right on the head. no one could carry on the way rabid nfl fans do for that many home games without going insane or simply realizing by july 4th that their team is out of the pennant race already

Sat in the Wrigley bleacher section last summer for a July 3rd game against the Nationals. It's a day game on a Sunday the day before the 4th of July holiday and it's about 110 degrees in the direct sun in the bleachers so I figure the crowd is going to be flat nasty once the beers start flowing. To top it off, my wife and I are in full Nats gear.

The Nats ended up winning after a 12 inning marathon, and all I heard the entire game was a couple of under the breath comments about "those damn nats fans." No one even sent a harsh word directly our way...I was completely amazed. Cubbies fans were tame. I've seen worse at minor league hockey games.

The most rabid intimidation I have ever seen is at college basketball games...paricularly interconference ACC or SEC games. Kentucky fans are certifiably insane. I went to an Arkansas at Kentucky game with my friend who went to UA once. I thought the bus we were on was going to get tipped over and burned...that is how nutz they are out there over UK B-ball. Same at the last Duke v Maryland game I was at...there is some fanatacizm on display there.

100 to go til 1000!

Yeah, I went to a Cubs versus Tigers game this year on Father's Day. Mark Prior was making his first start off the DL. I expected the fans to be really into it but there appeared to be more Tigers fans at the game judging by the amount of cheers I heard whenever a Tiger's player hit a homerun that day. There was a lot of cheering since the Tigers hit 8 homeruns.

I hope we don't become like the Red Sox Nation.

They're even worse than Yankees fans (my wife from NY is one, ha).

I've never met fans as jerky as BoSox fans.

Redskins fans have class.

cant call it redskin nation because there is not a majorly definitive redskin crowd in DC as in other places, such as steeler nation in the pittsburgh area where 95% of the evening news, in and out of season, revolves around the steelers, the fact is that there are so many people born and raised from different parts of the country that go to work around dc whether it be govt. jobs or just the good job market in the surrounding area that half the time youll walk into a bar on sundays and maybe more than half the people there will be sporting athletic wear from other teams, it sucks that we dont have the huge hometown type feeling like most other teams, for instance having to defend my skins to half my peers that are non-skins fans due to where they were born or because they jumped on a bandwagon of a good team in the mid 90's, but we definitley have a very large fanbase disperesed throughout the country
