The problem is DC is a white collar city plain and simple. The Big House in Michigan under Lloyd Car was rather tame, mainly because you had a bunch of white collar folks watching.

They probably are transplants from the Rust Belt as well.

I have to agree with this to an extent though I don't really know why it is so. I know for myself if I miss a game no big deal as I would rather be outside doing other things.

Exactly, better educated folks know the game is pure spectacle, a lark, and they could probably find something better to do. Blue collar types want to see aggression, action, as a way to let off steam I think.
