Michael running the show
New Stadium
137-153-2 record for .470 winning percentage
5 playoff appearances making it to conference championships twice and a super bowl in 17 years

Bill running the show
Failed multiple times to get a stadium
278-389-13 record for .408 winning percentage
4 playoffs appearances making it to conference championships and a super bowl/championship zero times in 45 years

I do not like Michael due to how he treats players and staff and want him to sell yesterday, but he has done a much better job than his father, there is no debate there.

I don't know brother. Doesn't seem much better to me especially considering Mikey has had way more resources than his old man.

We are all with you for sure.
Its a totally bought and paid-for accolade.

In reality people who stay in hotels and rent cars pay the tax which paid for the stadium.

Thats great but again the citizens passed that tax in the city and state they live in.

I dunno...three superbowls and a new stadium is some serious impact on the community. I don't think he was recognized for his team's on the field performance...god I hope not.

I get it.
Im in Gilbert but tell people I'm from Phoenix when out of state. Just makes things easier.

Would have loved to see the stadium get put downtown but that wasn't in the Cards.

Exactly. Phoenix and the surrounding cities are all one and the same.
I have a ton of friends from college that live in “Phoenix” but none of them actually live in phoenix.

The great citizens of Arizona got the stadium built.

One heartbeat, so to speak!

To be fair he did do something that his dad was never able to and that is get a new Stadium built for the Cardinals here in Arizona.

That's like a choice between a crap sandwich and a crap sandwich with salt. It's still crap.

State Farm Stadium is the house that Jake built
