I would assume it is quite depressing for season ticket holders. Can you imagine going basically a whole season with no wins at every game you attend?
The prices charged for tickets, food, drinks etc. lends itself to non fans or people who view the game as a status marking. 80% of the people in the stadium have no true passion for the team.
Plus, the teams money is in the suites. Corporations buy these suites and hand tickets out as perks. How many people from these corporations truly like the Skins?

I would say you're pretty dead on about the corporations. I mean, I live in NC now, and if a company or an individual gives me Carolina Panthers tickets, I'm going to go because it's fun going to Charlotte for games. I'm not a Panthers fan (although I'd root for them since they are a "home" team) and in the end, I wouldn't care as much if they won or lost, but I'd go because the tickets are free and it's a fun event.
