Opposing fans

[Krangodnzr]

Man this just sounds lame. I can tell you that since we’ve been in the big toaster we’ve had one of the best home fields for noise. Everyone I know that goes that supports the opposition comes back marveling at how the loud stadium gets in support of the cardinals. Methinks many of you haven’t been to many other stadiums.

SoFi's fan noise was PATHETIC on Sunday. Even when the game was competitive, I could have full on conversations with my friend. During the few games I've been to State Farm, you couldn't hear anything.

I go to other teams forums and I always come away thoroughly unimpressed with their fans knowledge of other teams. The group on this board is the most knowledgeable I've ever seen and it isn't even close.

I was reading the comments over on Ramsondemand.com this week and their fans has such a specious understanding of the current Cardinals. No stat deep dives and you could tell they hadn't really watched any of the Cardinals games. I watched two Rams games this year just so I could see what they were doing on offense and I've watched a Niners game too (haven't gotten to see the Seahawks yet).

I think a lot of his here are consumers of not just Cardinals related media, but on NFL media as a whole. That means a lot of us have a broad perspective when we discuss football.

Shockingly our father, he who begat cheese, ouchie, and brother-who-shall-not-post - the man who made our home sports crazed - changed all of his allegiances from Chicago sports to Arizona sports. Thinking back on it, it’s amazing that happened bc none of his three boys would ever do that.

Heh my family were loosely Redskins fans, but my dad wasn't too big of a fan.

I started out liking the Cowboys because they were good at the time. The blowout loss to end the Buddy Ryan era was the game that turned me. I had a growing pride in living in Arizona and I couldn't stomach pulling for a team that was from Texas.

I have to say that on this board sometimes I come away feeling like I don't understand the game at all. But you guys educate me.

Let me just take this opportunity to thank all the AZ residents, and everyone else, who spend their hard earned money to attend the games in person. You folks are what really helps the Cardinals' machine go, and it means a lot to me that you are there cheering on the Big Red. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Some day I hope to retire to the Phoenix area, mainly so that I can go to all the home games.

There’s a difference between knowing football and having been to other stadiums. You can’t understand what that’s like on tv. We might have a few games a year when the opposition is in high number, but so do most stadiums when (a) it’s a team whose fans travel well or have a National following; and (b) play in a warm weather destination city. And even in those games, if cards are good and the game is close cards fans FAAAAAR out-loud the opposition.

There was a significant number of Cardinals fans there. Still a Rams majority but there was distinct cheering when the Cards made a play. In my section there were around 10-15 that I could see.

I was the loudest lol

I have 2 guys at work picking up a coke machine right now both wearing 49ers masks. I'm wearing my Cards mask.

Nice to have them say man you guys are GOOD this year

Since they're 49ers fans... I think you meant they are stealing your coke machine.

I’ve been around long enough to have been to many stadiums over the years. For me, the loudest & most difficult place for a visiting team to play in was RFK Stadium in DC. The place literally shook most of the game. Almost impossible to beat the Skins in that house. I snickered at how pathetic FedEx Field was from a noise standpoint the first time I was there. The worst acoustics I’ve ever heard. That franchise hasn’t been the same once they leveled RFK.

 

[BurqueCardFan]

You guys think that the location of the stadium has anything to do with this?

I don't think so. It was the same at Sun Devil Stadium for all those years.
