When my out of DC friends tell me their impression of Skins fans its a tale of change. Back in the RFK days they viewed Skins fans as one of the best in the league with a packed stadium, rabid fans, etc. Now in the FedEx days they see Skins fans as fair weather, and not so rabid (especially in light of having FedEx over run by Steeler fans last season). They dont really blame Skins fans for being less rabid as the team hasnt really given them much to get excited about since 1992.

So, much like the team, Skins fans have dropped (in others eyes) from one of the best to just another also ran. IMO, thats a real shame.
