And we have a questionable franchise QB.
My wife and I aren't dropping our tickets. I have been to every home game except two preseason games since the Cardinals moved here. My wife and I both have attended the games together since 1993. It's a tradition. Went to the only two games available to most fans during the pandemic (Miami and Buffalo). We both went to Tampa and saw our team compete in the Super Bowl.
Loyalty means being there when things are bad and when things are good. It's really easy for casual fans to tell others to not go to the games when they have never regularly attended games.
Kudos, I am entering year 5 as a Suns season ticket holder and, frankly, while fun, it's kind of exhausting... and they've been really good during the stretch! But... maybe with the NFL, only 8 games a year (less if we get banished for foreign lands for a weekend) and it almost exclusively being on Sunday probably makes it easier to navigate.
I don't know if I could have endured being a Suns ticket holder for most of the 2010s, they were terrible... fortunately I didn't have the disposable income at the time.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals have been brutally bad for most of your 30 years owning tickets and I gotta say, hats off, especially for the Sun Devil Stadium era... I went to only a few games during that time and I cannot imagine watching a 1pm start, in 110 degree heat and knowing we're about to get throttled by the Redskins/Eagles/Giants/Cowboys.
But assuming you still live in Mesa, that is a helluva commute. When they play on Monday or Thursday, how long is that drive? It's gotta be insane.
