I’ve lived in AZ for 22 of my 27 years. I’m essentially a native. My whole life the Cardinals have stunk, stunk in a way in which there wasn’t even much team pride. There were limited amounts of fans and the passion was minimal. The Bidwell’s are not well liked here and the team has never really sold out seating…
Fast forward to the past couple years… We have Boldin, Larry Fitz & Kurt Warner. We have a stadium and we have fans. I know AZ is known as a fair weather fan state, but when all your teams are 20 years or younger the passion for the program is not quite the same. That being said, the passion is growing.
The game yesterday was beautiful, sit at the edge of your seat football. It was hard fought and well won. WAY TO GO RED BIRDS!!!! I’ll be making Red Velvet cupcakes for the occasion!!!!!
