We're pretty much all over the place as to where we all sit, but many of us (except Ryanwb and CardTrader - who always come up with lame excuses) meet up at the top of the North Endzone (by the white truck) for every halftime.

There are often others coming from Cali (Cheesebeef, etc) - maybe in the future you guys could get a carpool of some kind in order and all pitch in for gas. Just an idea. Rent a van or something. Road trip! :cool:

The players all exit into the parking lot on the North Side after the game and I know they are accesible. I haven't ever waited for them.

I know some others have come out and posted a bunch of photos meeting the players as they exit.

Also the North End Zone is where they enter the field and you can yell at them easily. ;)

Go to training camp. The players are all around, hanging out with fans, signing autographs. It is really cool to hang with these guys, most of them are pretty chill. Plus, Flagstaff at that time of year is awesome. Birdcall, holla!!!!

It is being held in Flagstaff AZ, in the campus of NAU. Yes it is free to the public and you can watch the team practice. I'm going this year with my fiancee.

Pop, Is that you in the pics? How did you become a new Cards fan? If that is you are you in SD just for the military? When are you buying lunch?

Just a few questions for the new guy.

Go to training camp, mini camps are not open to the public. The Cars do hold special events from time to time though.

Cardinals training camp is probably one of the best for fans in the NFL. The sceanery is great, the weather is great and the treat fans very well.

Their idea of seperation is a white line on the grass 6' from the field. It is very fan friendly.
