Only in Phoenix

Name another city where a 7-3 team hosting the superbowl champs and a possible playoff preview means that around 30% of your tickets are sold to opposing fans.

This might have irritated me more than our kick and punt coverage. Well not really but it was a close second.

That seems really high from the way it looked and sounded on TV.

But there was the same thing earlier when Pitt went to Washington and they were firmly in the playoff hunt and playing very well. That whole stadium was damn near Steelers fans. Its not just in AZ.

 

[Zeno]

As long as their is Stub Hub & Ticket Exchange opposing fans will always be able to get tickets if they are willing to pay.

It wasn't even CLOSE to 30%.

This was the most pro-cardinals fans showing I've seen yet.

I saw a ton of blue from my view, especially the north end zone area. I thought there were more Giant fans than Cowboy fans this year.

Wow, no way. The visitor side had some fans, and the NEZ is basically bootleg tape area.

Other than that, the stadium was red as hell.

And it was LOUD.

Even when most of the Cards fans bailed, the Gnats fans weren't very loud at all.

The cowboys game had a HUGE voice on our offensive sets. These giants fans didn't appear.

I didn't see many in the tailgate areas, either.

You know who represented surprisingly strong? The Bills fans. There were a TON of them. I was shocked at their numbers.

We remarked several times at how few Gnats fans there were...we also helped get one kicked out of our section. There were maybe 10 in total view.

Maybe the blue just stood out more since it is the only color I can see (literally...I am fully color blind except for blue)

Wow, I did not know that!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Wow, I did not know that!

I found out when I did the color test when I got in the army. They hide colored numbers in other colors and ask you what you see. I couldn't see any numbers except for blue ones.

After that they gave me like 10 jobs to pick from out of the entire book since I had qualified for any of them. I decided on Medic but wish I would have went Arab translator instead.

i remember that test.

I also remember the maps in our tank being color blind friendly as well.

I don't think I know anyone color blind...what a weird way to view things. No offense intended at all....I'd actually love to see through your eyes to see what you see.

shocker, me and Chris not only viewed the action on the field different from Donald, but we saw the action in the stands completely different as well. From the 50 Yard-line on the Cards side, looking across the field and all around us, my brother and father and I agreed that it looked/sounded like 25 percent Blue.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

On TV, it looked solid red. I remember being surprised by the lack of blue.

 

[Linderbee]

I thought it was the most Cards filled I've ever seen it, too. I was actually impressed. Must be the point of view.

But, no surprise, I wasn't overly impressed with the Giants, either. I thought we hung in there pretty well with the NFL champs--I was also one of the few that thought we'd win. Maybe Donald needs to stop handing me his crack pipe, lol.

 

[AzWins23]

It's great hearing the chants of "Lets go Giants" while we have the ball.....It's sickening

People in NY have $$$. $$$ is a big thing right now.

Maybe if this was a year ago, I could understand your complaint. It still is a valid compaint, but I personally can't blame people for bringing in money any way they can right now.

 

[Linderbee]

Oh, and isn't it fairly reasonable to expect more fans of the opposing team when they're the defending Super Bowl Champs? I mean, I'd be more upset if we were playing Miami (1-15 last year) and we were drowning in teal & orange.

 

[studiovx]

I don"t know. The TV broadcast kept showing an awful lot of Giants fans from what I saw. I was pissed. It was even worse hearing Daryl Johnston in the booth. Even when we had the lead he was alluding to the fact that we had no chance.

 

[football karma]

I sit on the west side of the stadium (home field side) -- and looking at the visitor sideline, I would put the Giants fans at about 20 - 25% max of that side (lower bowl, much less in the upper). In my side, from what I could see around me (which isnt the best perspective, I would put it at less than 10%.

I am curious if those that sit on the east side have some perspective?

This is a product of of travel brokers and the like getting those seats early on when 26 straight sell outs was the Cardinal ticket office's wildest dream -- as well as those very casual fans who would just assume sell the tickets to high demand games as go.

San Diego is just as bad if not worse than Phoenix, and San Diego has a perrenial playoff team. it is a place full of transplants that won't leave their allegiance in their home city. For instance, they played the Colts last night. Their were a ton of Peyton jersies in the stands and they were making a lot of noise. I could barely tell who was the home team.

Anyways, I got tickets in sec. 106 for yesterday's game and there were only a handful of giant fans. It was about a 75/25 Cards to Giants ratio. Not nearly as bad as it was against Dallas

1 in 3 males have a degree of color blindness. I am color blind as well. Being color blind doesn't mean you don't see colors, you just see them differently then other people, and some colors blend in and are indistinguishable.

Shocking huh.

It's perspective, and others also saw it differently. Shocker.

And so are you saying the Cowboys fans were only 25% of the stadium, because since you are agreeing with Chris he said he thought there were more Giants fans than Cowboy fans.

And at the 50 yard line you were staring across at the heaviest pockets of Giants fans...shocking that it may have colored your perception. That place was heavily red.

I know you see the colors and not black and white...I just am curious as to how they blend. Can you see the difference between two colors that blend in as like a gradient or are they simply completely blended and you can't tell where one starts and another stops (of the colors it happens with).

Try sitting in Anaheim Stadium during an Angels/Red Socks game! Phoenix is like SoCal, a lot of people here from someplace else. Plus the snow birds. Plus Stub Hub. Our job as Cards fans is to wear the red, be loud and support the team!

Chris, with all due respect, I think you are wrong, dead wrong. I sit on the vistor's side and we had them dominated. Watch the replay and see how loud it was the Giants had the ball compared to when our offense was on the field. Yes, the cameras go to Giants' fans when they made a play and that happened too often, but our fans were great and I'ld guess it was 5-1 in our favor.

I will not sit back quietly and allow by brothers and sisters who gave their all, their love, their voices, and their $$$ in support of our team to be discounted. I am very proud of our fans, they were awesome yesterday.

My perspective from the club level home team side was that that the blue dominated the east side of the stadium. Again it could be that the blue stands out more to me than others, but several people in my section noted it as well.

It has nothing to do with those that show up. It isn't discounting those that actually come. It is discounting people who sell their tickets to opposing team fans when your team is 7-3. San Diego/LA was a fair comparison, but this would never happen in an East Coast city.

All these transients need to get on board with the home team.
