We have been to the playoffs twice in the last three years and are right in the thick of things this year. For people to not show up for a game of Sunday's magnitude because it was raining is shocking. We aren't the Patriots, OK, but we aren't the Bengals either. Our team is much more competitive than it was a few years ago and yet that doesn't seem reflected in the stadium.

This sense of entitlement that you demonstrate Prinze, while not uncommon among our fans, is ultimately self-defeating. It's costing us homefield advantage.

Thank you. I went to Lambeau Field twice in 2005 when the Packers went 4-12. I went in God awful conditions and the stadium was packed, the fans were out in full force, and the crowd noise was great. My question is, why can't a city like D.C., which is 10 times bigger than Green Bay, field a similar crowd?
