...where would the NFC Championship game be played (Would it be in AZ)?

Pardon me for possibily annoying the Superstition gods, but (having survived an important jinx this past week by drinking out of my Cardinal mug and wearing my Cardinal knit cap - yet we still won), I'm breaking with tradition and looking past Saturday's game to ask the question.

If Philly and AZ win, we host the game.

On topic, I'm not sure that the game sells out if it is here. The prices for my ticket for example are like 2-2.5x more expensive than the wild card game. If I remember correctly the prices were $75 for the WC and $175 for the championship game.

If it does sell out, I fear we will have a ton of Philly fans in the stadium.

Mine were 120 for wild card, 135 for division and the team said the difference for the championship game would be add to our invoice if we made it that far. I don't remember seeing how much it was for the NFC championship game.

IF we win Saturday, we'll see unprecedented excitement for the Cardinals. Yes, there will certainly be a lot more Eagles fans than Falcons fans. But, it's not going to be anything like the Vikings or Cowboys game. I guarantee it won't.

I'd have to disagree...Philly has never traveled well from my experience.

One game I could always count (as a season ticket holder in the past) on not having a load of opposing fans was the Eagles.

But then again, this is the playoffs.

Yeah, out of the four NFC East teams, Eagles fans were always the least amount of trouble.

I thought the other ticket had the price on it???

I dunno. I remember seeing 5 Eagles jerseys at the freaking Atlanta game last week. I'm a little worried.

I actually think it's not that far fetched. The Giants are a different team without Burress as the media has been all over this week.

And as bad as we looked a few weeks ago, the fact is we go into Carolina knowing if we play well, we can win. We should have beaten them the first time around. Yes we won't have Boldin at 100%(if he plays at all) but we're still very dangerous, all of a sudden we're running the ball better, and our defense looked much better against Atlanta. DRC was a non factor in the first game, he'll be a factor this time around.

Carolina is very good, won't surprise me at all if they win, but it's not a game we just have no chance in, unless the weather gets really bad.

Yeah, me too. I talked to a couple guys in Eagle gear in the concession line @ half time. They were really pumped about the chance their birds could play in Phx

All of us in our seating area did not want to say goodbye and talked about being back in UoP for the NFC Championship Game...

Stranger things have happened...

Its Thurs. man did someone really not know this already? I mean its been on the news and every sports channel for a week now. I think everyone is slightly overlooking the defending champs, to assume Philly can go into NY and beat them I think is a mistake. The G men are gonna come to play and run the ball down there throut, Philly has a chance but a slim one. And lets not worry about that game lets try and win the one we need to win first in Carolina!
