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.

Even my wife was telling people shut up!!!! It was really amazing the fans lost it for their own team.
yea Regina is a little better but the crowds aren't really big enough to make much of a difference. Some of the most fun at a NFL game is when the away team is backed up then the QB gets it from three sides, and the oline jumps or they have to call timeout. Fans can't really be a factor in other sports like they can in NFL ball.
And I have to say Edmonton ok, not great though.
