maybe because alot of season ticket holders for skins are corporate douchebags or fair weather fan rich boys. which actually works for me because while i dont "technically" have season tickets the people I know literrally give me season tickets because if I didnt use their seats they would be empty. how sad but awesome is that?

front row tickets for free? HELL YEAAHHHHHHHH man i cant wait!!!

Definately don't agree being placed below Philidelphia and Cleveland. However that is negated by the fact that the Cowboys ("America's Team) is ranked 12th.

Also thought this was interesting in regards to the Steelers explanation for being #1:

The season-ticket waiting list is extremely long and the consecutive sellout streak of 299 games, including playoffs, is unbelievable.

Then you go to the Redskins part

Consecutive sellouts: 319 | Season-ticket waiting list: 200,000

Redskins fans aren't as.......

We got a whole season on them without playoff games (save one game vs the Lions) so in that respect I'd say our sellout streak is even more unbelievable.

Eagles ranked 4th and us 6th, total BS. We should be #1 just by the mere fact of 319 consecutive sellouts and 200,000 people on the wait list. No other team can lay claim to those stats.Those 319 sellouts only tell a small part of the story. We did not sell out the one or two home games in 1987 that were played by scabs during the last NFL players strike. We have sold out every game since then, but before the strike, we sold out every game all the way back to 1966. So discounting scab games, our real sell out streak is probably closer to 600 games - let's see those loudmouth Philly fans touch that.

That's what I thought, the strike season should have an asterisk like Barry Bonds baseball.

Yeah, I can vouch for this. OTM hooked me and my brother up with some sweet tickets last year for the Bears game. (when our playoff run started... coincidence? I think not.)

Shocked by the Eagles' ranking. Maybe they were worried Eagles fans would hunt down Mosley and break his legs.

The Redskins are American's Team. We are the most loyal and most criticized team in the world. Largest stadium and its always full. We are the best fans, ESPN needs to check their facts. Mosley's high.

It's probably been mentioned (too lazy to read the whole thread), but we have more consecutive sellouts and a longer season-ticket wait list than any other team in the league. More consecutive sellouts than Green Bay, and we're number 6? Come on.

What's worse is that he says the Eagles fans hate the Cowboys more than us. What? Sure, the Eagles fans are football nihilists and hate everything - including the Cowboys. But that rivalry has no history and the Eagles have never beaten the Cowboys in a meaningful playoff game. And we hate them more, period.

I can see the Steelers , Browns , Packers and KC in our class ,,,, but the freakin eagles ? Cleveland , Buffulo , Pitts, & Packers fans probably make less $ than fans in many of the fans in larger cities ,,, NY , DC , Miaimi ect. The Browns and Bills fans also have had many losing seasons over the years ,,,, and damn cold most of the year . Did anyone notice that in Seattle they have a city ordinance against tailgating ,,,,, what an F-D up City !!! I think we should sell the state of Washington to Canada .
