Here is my math on actual fans. I realize they are not exact.
RFK 55,000 screaming maniac fans. Of those 55,000 left 30,000 have been run off. (ticket pricing, losing, losing, losing, ticket price, opposing team fans, Redskin fans who have no clue how to bounce a stadium, chant, sing, scream) That leaves 25,000 fans who know how to make a stadium a feared place for all opponents. Ironic that we have the largest stadium in the league and never get mentioned as a place people do not want to come to. Gibbs could not even win there. Snyder has ruined what the REDSKINS stand for.

Snyder inherited Fed Ex from your namesake. You can argue he has bumped prices up too much but the Pats are just as expensive and their stadium is known to rock. I think more of it has to do with design flaws in the stadium itself. RFK exemplified doing more with less, mostly because of its accoustics. Fed Ex reminds me of Michigan's Big House, which is the largest stadium in the country but not regarded as particularily intimidating, mostly because its open design allows sound to reverberate out.
