It is the quality of the fans, not the stadium. I was a young child when we left Lanham, but my folks went to many Skins games at RFK and they said that place was rocking to the point the actual structure was rocking at times. The ticket prices weren't nearly as outrageous, so everyone could go, even the blue collar types. Those folks loved football and appreciated a winner. Now a lot of the people that go are just probably govt yuppies/ contracters looking for an excuse to party, and not big football fanatics. The Bighouse in Ann Arbor is the same way. They squeeze 112,000 + in there and it isn't as loud as Ford Field at times or back when Bo was the HC.
