Calling Cardinal fans out...

[BurqueCardFan]

Our group is going...driving from CA, but anyone telling someone else they gotta go 'and represent' is Bull.
1st off YOU GO! Don't be telling us we gotta go
2nd the tickets for this game were going for 1/2 of the season ticket price....so if this game allows you to go to the the other 9 games (2 preseason included) ...you do that. Dallas games sell better than ANY other games...and take the $ if you need it.
3rd Dallas fans can be...again...can be rough. They are louder and a lot more obnoxious than many other fan bases. They like to get in peoples faces and there's often fights at these games. It's not a real family friendly game.

Agree 100%. I wouldn't take my young son to this game. There are a couple of teams, whose fan base makes it difficult on a family environment. Dallas, SF and Oakland to name a few.

But you have to remember that since Phoenix is a town full of transplants (such as myself - I'm a Bay Area native who lived behind the Orange Kurtain™ for 20 years before moving to Phoenix in 2004 - you're always gonna have a ton of out-of-town team fans who are actually locals still rooting for "their" team when they're in town. Many are Cards fans every other week but that one. ...
.....
....

anyone who roots for another team, on the rare day their old team is in town, is NOT A CARDINALS FAN. You live here now (not the poster, the people the poster is describing), if the Cardinals aren't your team, ALWAYS, please stop pretending .... that just means the Cardinals aren't your team and you SUCK !

Eh, I wouldn't blame anyone for staying away on Monday night. This team sucks, and they aren't even entertaining in the process of sucking. We have been reduced to little more than watching fossils accumulate statistics while somehow still managing to cash some very large checks.

I can see where someone may be coming from in deciding to sell their tix vs taking a day off, tailgating in the heat or dealing with rush hour traffic, not getting out of the stadium until close to 10pm, dealing with post game traffic and not getting home until midnight, then either taking another day off or dealing with a full work day on short rest.

What has this team done in the last 20 months to deserve anyone going out of their way to watch them?

Missing you're seat on the bandwagon or what ? I have criticized everything from the QB, to the management to the waterboy and threatened that I just can't take it anymore (since I moved here in 93 I have had many opportunities to indulge in all of the preceding activities)... but I still have hope... you sir, should stay with baseball or something (well, any team but the Cubs, they had fans that DIED waiting for relevance) ... I predict we beat the Pukes... and I will happily eat the admittedly large amount of crow I have built up thus far ....

Scalping agencies, transit state, Cowboys are a hot ticket, blah blah blah... there is a large chunk of the NFL where a significant Cowboy fan base does not allow to dictate a noise factor, there is no excuse Arizona

 

[Carolinacacti]

My Dad and Sister will be their. Unfortunately my other sister a cowboy fan will be joining them.

 

[cardinals]

A cowboys fan "friend of ours asked if we knew anyone selling tickets and we told her that even if we did we would't tell her.

Loyalty is thicker than friendship when it comes to the Cowboys.

I'm sure you are only joking and helped her. I hope....
sports is entertainment. Nothing you do or say or believe will change one single thing that happens in the game.
go join a gang if you want that kind of mindless action

He should join a gang because he wants his seats to go to Cardinal fans? Did someone walk on your lawn today?

its an analogy.
I'm saying picking sides about teams and basing a relationships boundries on it are as stupid as being a gang member. Its the same mob/tribe mentality.

Stomp their asses on the field and mock them in the stands. Crush your enemies beneath your feet, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.

We'll be there. Would never sell our seats. There are only 10 guaranteed games a season at home (2 pre-season/8 regular) and we wouldn't want to miss one regardless of the opponent.

I've been to every home game (pre-season/regular) since the Cards moved here except two pre-season games (due to deaths in the family). Made sure that our tickets went to Skkorp for one and AzCards21 for the other.

I know plenty of Cards fans will sell their seats and those seats will be filled with Cowboys' fans. That's how it's always been. Thankfully there has also always been a decent group of diehards who'd rather be there to support the team and lose their voices doing so. Glad to be in THAT group of fans.

Go Cards !!!

The big difference is that as I kid the Pukes were basely the "local team" therefore every puke game was televised in Phoenix as their local team. They built a huge fan base because of it. I for one hated them and Norte Dame just for that reason, they were on TV every week. So it not that it's a transient town it is they build a fan base long before we had our own team.

I miss SDS where the sweat poured off us fans too- Cowboys were n our division and I bet 10 push ups per point difference with one of my friends every game, He was a Cowbutt fan prior to the Cards coming to AZ - I remember shouting at the other Cardinal fan across the field - I would rather be a losing Cardinal fan, in a cauldron of boiling puke than to step in as a cowpukes fan, with stars shooting out my az!

 

[NJCardFan]

A guy I work with has flown from out here to go to the game Monday night so there's no excuse why local fans can't come out in droves.

When I lived in Tucson, in 1998 the Tucson Citizen had a poll for which team was Tucson's Team. The Cowboys won. Mind you, this was 10 years after the Cards first moved to the valley so in 10 years the Cards either didn't sell the team to the southern part of the state or WCF is right in that many didn't change allegiances simply because AZ got their own team. This is also after their SB run. Winning tends to hold onto fans.

I don't totally agree with this. If I've been a Cardinals fan for 28 of my 30 years on this planet, I'm supposed to suddenly switch because in the interest of getting tons of public money, Mark Davis is moving the Raiders to my city? Nah, I'll stick with the team I've bled for and watched forever. (Although I am going to get Raiders season tickets AND keep my Cardinals season tickets.)

But I do agree that card-carrying Cardinals fans that are season ticket holders shouldn't let any damn Cowboy fans have their seats unless there's a total emergency. I can forgive the guy who lost his job after buying his tickets, or the family who needs to stay home because little Timmy got sick, but if you're just turning them to make a healthy profit? That's lame and I can't accept it.

It reminds me of toy scalpers that go and pull all of the rare toys at Toys R' Us and mark them up so the kids that they're intended for can't find them unless they pay 4x the price.

The first part of his post was spot on. It's only entertainment & a friend in need should be more important than a damn game. The part about joining a gang was a bit off base though.

Actually a lot of kids join gangs to feel a part of something. They have no family structure at home. With a gang they are all together & look out for one another. Young kids are looking for something that they don't get at home due to dysfunction or other circumstances.

So you're saying I should give up my 40+ years as a Cardinals fan and become an Eagles fan?

I'm pretty damn excited. I don't think we're very good, but it's MNF, first home game of the year against one of the highest profile teams in all sports. This early in the season, when anything can happen, if you can't get up for this game, that passion must not burn red in your blood.

Following Solar and your post, I guess I need to expand my thought a little.

I believe that sports teams contribute more than just entertainment to an area. They also contribute in a significant way to the local economy; and also can be a factor to encourage local pride. So in supporting the local team one is supporting the area in which they live.

That said, I don't have any problem with people maintaining loyalties to other teams. But just as you don't go into your neighbors home and spit on the floor, you shouldn't go into an area's home stadium and be obnoxious in your support of the home team's opponent. And further in those times when your "favorite" team isn't playing the home team, you should want to see the home team have success, because it is good for the city or area in which you have made your home.

Not sure if I am making my point, but it has to do with having local pride. This may be an old-fashioned concept, I don't know. But it is a concept to which I adhere.

I cant quit the Cards just because I moved to Wi. I'll never support the Packers, I'm a cards fan, so I guess I'll just be a dick.
