D.C.-What's it like?

Do DCers actually like hockey? The only person I know of who goes to Capitals games is a student at GWU (not from D.C.).

Actually we do. Attendance is pretty high. They do better than the Nats.

no DC doesn't really have any sports teams (they all suck, except the united)

Generally not so much. I've been to a few. Watching #8 play is a consistent treat. Before 2004, I pretty much only tuned in for the playoffs. (Though one season I remember PBondra put on quite a show.)

I miss walking to the games, but I don't miss RFK. It was leaky, food and liquor selection was limited and required walking to that tiny food court and they never took credit cards. Just about every visiting team has more fans when they're playing here than Nats fans. Philly games are notorious.
My fond memories of RFK involve only football. Nat's games there were just an excuse to get drunk.

I'm a Giants fan. I don't know if I can live in D.C., I might get murdered.

I'm an Eagles fan and have had no issues. 'Skins fans are more bark than bite.

They don't play in DC anyway. I go to watch the big rivalry games like Cowboys and Eagles, but I'm a Pats fan and they don't visit too often. Baseball in Baltimore rocks though. $6 cheap seats and an energetic crowd.

Y'know, I almost went to the University of Maryland. If I had, I could be somewhat acquainted with D.C. by now.

I wish I went to AU for undergrad... it's almost all female and the guys that are there are mostly gay. I could have really had fun with that!

A couple of chicks from my high school attend AU. They are pretty ugly though. I almost applied there.

GWU has the hottest girls, but they're richer, higher maintenance and a bit dim too. Lack standards for cash will do that. Georgetown is second and they despise GWU girls. American is eh, but it has it's fair share of hotties and the ratio is killer. They require about the same (if not less) maintenance than a Wellesley girl. They don't hate Georgetown, but don't usually venture down the hill to visit too often. They're invisible to GU and GWU undergrad girls. I can't really speak to the U of Maryland girls, College Park would be a total **** hole if it weren't for the Ikea.

I see a lot of bridge and tunnel people going to Caps games.

Maybe that's it. Verizon is so close and yet I'd been to one Caps game and 3 Wizards games since I've been here. It never crosses my mind to go unless someone else brings it up.

I know what you mean. I've lived right beside Verizon for over 3 years and have only been to a handfull of Wizards games and not a single Caps game.

Caps games are expensive too. $50 for the cheap seats at a weekend game. We got them for $20 because the lady gave us a military discount, but still... it's Hockey!
