That's the other thing that people don't raise, CFL fans as a group really don't know much about football. It's like they are hockey fans looking for something to do in the summer. Football is my #1 sport by a mile and have been around it, in some way for 15 years, and I absolutely can't stand being in the stands. Probably like going to a hockey game in Carolina, so long as the fans in Carolina think they know what the heck they are watching.

Hahaha yeah I just went back to page 2 to read it, my God how embarassing! If I was at that game I wouldve started yelling at my section after the drive ended. I can totally picture it too. I completely agree with what you said here in the bolded part, they cheer like they're at a hockey game, they dont know when to be loud and when to be quiet. Regina seems to have it down pat, its the only stadium in the CFL that seems to understand this. The funniest(also see: worst) is when you watch a game on TV, you can hear a few hundred fans start to get real loud when the opposing team has the ball, desperately urging the rest to do the same. But the vast majority of the crowd doesnt seem to understand at all, and do not join in.
I've follwed the league since I was a kid, so I still enjoy it. But its nowhere near my love for the NFL now(frankly I dont even think the NHL is either), and poor atmosphere is a big part of the reason why. I attended my first regular season NFL game in 2005 and it was electric in the stadium, I loved it.
