Edmonton Eskimos

Edmonton Eskimo fans have been treated one of the most successful franchises in the league and North America professional sports. Having been in the CFL since 1949 (third youngest in the league) has been competitive every year.

Having some of the most rabid fans in the league creates a great atmosphere. Commonwealth Stadium is a large venue for CFL football, compared to the other teams stadiums. The fans have no trouble coming out and filling it either. For a regular season game in 2009, Edmonton sold out and needed standing room capacity to fit the 62,517+ that turned out for the game.

The Green & Gold faithful have been treated to 13 Grey Cups, 34 consecutive playoff appearances (ending in 2005) and have done this while being a community owned franchise.

The Eskimos will continue to have success on and off the field and in the stands with the fans.

    From my understanding they are not a bad team to watch either. Sounds like I'll have to go watch a game if I am ever in town.
