Just to bring some simple point up...When our offense is on the field most people get quiet. Which means if there were 5 people chanting go Dallas they would probably be heard. Now multiply that by thousands for the Skins and a measly 5- 10 thousand Dallas fans. Our stadium holds what 90,000. 10,000 Dallas fans are nothing. and it also boils down to the Skins ticket holders selling out to whoever will pay. I could have gotten tickets for $150 a piece. To much for me but some idget Dallas fan might have paid that.

I was watching the anouncers in the parking lot interviewing people and they spoke with a woman from Pennsylvania who said she makes all the games cause they have season tickets. My first thought was ...what in the hell? but then thought it's not that far probably. but this is the problem when you move the team to MD and move it away from the very community it's named after. I know we have fans all over the U.S. but it sorta pissed me off cause at some point that fan may decide hey ...I don't feel like driving down there today cause I'm feeling sick or I don't care about the match up so let me give the ticket to whoever wants it or will pay me for it. which happens to be the opposing teams fan next time.
