The 30th season in Arizona? And any commemoration? And the Cards have actually been in Arizona longer than their were in St. Louis.

Wow, I hadn't realized that! How long did it take for the media to stop referring to them as the St Louis Cardinals after the move?

So many wasted years early on. The current era really started with the opening of Jiffy Pop Stadium in 2006. Michael B deserves so much credit for turning the franchise around. To see players at the draft genuinely excited about coming to play here, and free agents wanting to come here, is so great - for so many years, exactly the opposite was true.

Does not matte to me... I was a Cardinal fan when they where in St.Louis and now Arizona and that will not change :)
Ditto and I did move to AZ for a few years but only went to 1 game and this was that game:

Yeah no joke. Man his dad was maybe the worst owner in all of sports.

Shouldn't surprise anyone. Under Billy Bids he openly said he never wanted to win the Super Bowl because he would have to pay his players too much money. According to Conrad Dobler, the man was so cheap that on busrides home, the players would be given subs to eat and Dobler joked that Bidwill would bring the leftovers home to his family. That said, this is why I have sympathy for Browns fans because I know exactly what they're going through.
