LabattBlue Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 You have a brand new state of the art domed stadium. You don't have to be in 110 degree heat. Yet everytime the crowd was panned in the first half, I saw empty seats everywhere. Wouldn't you think that the fans would be excited to see the new stadium? I know that all 8 of their home games are sold out, but the fact that you wouldn't want to be there for the very first game played is pitiful.

udonkey Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I thought the Rockpile seats are cheap - there are equivalent seats in the Cardinals new stadium that are $10 ea for season ticket holders...basically 300 level seats on the endzone corners Not bad at all...thats about the max I'd be willing to pay to watch that crap anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 How many years have the Cards supposed to have been the "surprise" team? 5 years and counting? They always seem to look decent on paper and fail badly when the regular season rolls around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phxbacker Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 It is a hell of a stadium I drive by it everyday. I still question how many of those season ticket holders are actually corporate purchased. Everybody that lives in phx for the most part came from somewhere else like myself and root for other teams. However, they played a heck of a lot better than the Bills did so I may actually begin to admit I watch them occassionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bflojohn Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Little known fact, in all the years the Cardinals have been in the Phoenix market, there have been ONLY 16 sellouts! Yesterdays' game was sold out, however, most of the new bandwagon variety group probably got caught in traffic not knowing that getting to a football game early is the answer! As Phxbacker states, Bill Bidwill HIGHLY overestimated the power of NFL football in this market when he moved back in 1988. The demographics here are a "melting pot" population that has Bears, Bills Vikings, Broncos, and EVERY other fan base imaginable. This franchise for 18 years has played 16 ROAD GAMES every year throughout there time in Phoenix. It has been one sorry lot of people in this organization since its move here...
