Question for out of state fans

[Cardsfanstl]

There are still a whole bunch of Cardinals fans in STL area.

Agree. A lot of us here.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

I'm fairly certain, that I have all of Montreal and province of Quebec to myself.

One in 8-million... (I'm lonely)

 

[KD75]

In Chicago, I've run across some older folks that still root for the Cardinals. Most of them are from the South Side since the Bears were the North Side team and played at Wrigley and the Cards played on the South Side at old Comiskey.

 

[chickenhead]

Depending on how long you've been in town there might have been two--I was a Montreal Cardinals fan from '95-'99.

In New York I never see any around, though there are a couple of posters here (thought I even saw one of them was a Habs fan on the Coyotes board). I do have several friends from AZ out here, though, so in the playoffs these last few years we've set NYC attendance records by having several real Cards fans in the same place.

South Side, represent!

49ers/Cowboys over here in the Las Cruces, NM/El Paso,TX area.

When I was grown up, there no other teams but the 4ty9ers and the Cowboys.

 

[LVCARDFREAK]

You got myself, Jeff, LVG & last I knew Redforceone who all live in Vegas and are pretty diehard. I know we have 1 or 2 in Reno as well. Just can't remember who.

dont forget this season ticket holder!

Las Vegas is all Raiders and Niners

 

[BurqueCardFan]

Yeah, I know after the superbowl run you now see a lot more of the bandwagon crowd around Abq. Prior to the superbowl run, we hardly ever saw anybody when we would fly out for the games. Now we see 5-10 people on the plan with Card gear going to Phx.

CARDINAL NATION has just begun to grow Nationwide.Many love the Underdog role in America.Coming and STAYING at the top as Whiz has plans to keep us here.

Never to be America's Team,but roots have been planted and I fully believe we will become a newcomers choice of team that does'nt have a Home state Team.You can wear CARDINALS Football Gear with Pride now and as Big as I am no One would EVER thought they would see me wearing CARDINALS shirts daily.No One ever comments negatively to my face.

If I can wear it with Pride is all that matters and it begins to become infectious.We'll take all newcomers and I've found CARDS fans as some of the Brightest in the world (Only on this website) main NFL website is embarrassing.

I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing on and off the field with Whiz in Charge.My second favorite coach in his knowledge and how he runs a team.His constant level head is contagious as you are finally seeing Free Agents WANTING to be a part of what is being built.

Old lifetime sufferers at ASU and SDS are just gonna have to slide over and welcome the new and young and share the past history and realize"The first shall be last and the last shall be first".There is no meaning to life without suffering.Victor Frankel said as a suvivor of Auschwitz and the holocast.

Cardinals fans will get their Lombardi within 5 years or less.Hold me too it.Just have your seat paid for.

 

[wilycoyote24]

I love the fact that Cards fans are either eternal optimists or relentless pessimists.

 

[Heucrazy]

Reno is lousy with Bay Area fans. It's all niners and raiders around here.

OT:

Can someone explain to me why there are so many Tongans in Reno. Two years ago I go down to Austin, Texas to play for a national championship. We end up playing Reno, NV in the semi-final.

Next thing I know, I thought I was Easter Island. Not one of there players was NOT Tongan.

Nothing against the team, they were all a trip and great guys, but seriously. Reno, NV of all places. You would think islanders would avoid the desert.

South Side, represent!

Pariah, if you are ever back here and in the old hood. Check out Honky Tonk BBQ in Pilsen at 18th and Racine. Ribs so good you don't need sauce.

 

[TJ]

Im in the process of moving back to L.A. I used to live there from 2004 to 2007. The majority are delusional Raider fans who certainly live the "Raider" lifestyle (you know what I mean). The Charger fans around there are cool and are fun to talk football with. Sprinkles of 49er and Cowboy fans.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

Doug,

I've seen you! You are huge!! NO ONE IS GOING TO COMMENT NEGATIVELY TO YOUR FACE!!!

[gnomepete]

I grew up in StL (Kirkwood) and was 8 when the Cards moved from Chicago. Although I live in West Virginia, it’s so far east it’s part of the DC metro area. Here there are lots of Steeler fans. There were more Redskins fans when they were good. Lots of Dallas fans too. Card fans? Few and far between.

No kidding. You havent been around much. Out of sight out of mind.

Mainly the ones in Nevada/NM/Utah.

What is the majority of the fan base where you live and how is the Cardinals support? Thanks in advance for this info, I am curious how the Red Bird support has changed in recent years.

Almost no support in Arkansas for the Cards. People in this state tend to be Cowboy fans. Of course Jerry Jones is from Little Rock. Their best RB was recently drafted from the U. of Arkansas. Jones is a big supporter of the U. of Arkansas as he played football there. We had a little following when the Cards were in St Louis and Steve Little was drafted. We even had a local radio station broadcast games.

My life as a Cards fan really got great when Direct TV introduced their football package here in Arkansas. I have never missed a game. Fan since 1944 when I lived in Chicago.

 

[vinnymac]

I live in the Northern Arkansas. There are 3 of us that watch the games together here. I the game with my brother. He is unfortunally a 49er fan.

 

[Buckybird]

Just to move off topic a little: How many people called, emailed, or sent you a text when the Cards beat the Eagles for the NFC Championship?

Duck, working for the Cowpies biggest sponser (Miller Lite) my phone almost never stopped ringing for 2 straight days. Counting friends...oh my I was overwhelmed!!! I actually got my Super Bowl tix from Jerry Jones' allotment

 

[LVG]

Other than the posters on the board mentioned by Shane H earlier (and I think he left off Solar or Solaris or something like that - I think he sits in 218), there is a fan base starting to grow here. I've seen more and more Cards logos showing up on the backs of cars. However, I don't see many of us here in general.

Most represented teams are (in no order): Raiders, 9ers, Cowboys, Bears.

I live in Salem Oregon and let's just put it this way the only comments I get when I wear my Cardinals hat is someone will says nice hat to which I reply are you a Cardinals fan and they answer not really I'm not into baseball that much or what do I think of McGwire coming back to coach. I just shake my head and reply no this is the Arizona Cardinals the football team not the baseball team to which I get a blank stare.

 

[Tyler]

You guys are all awesome, its interesting reading up on what kind of crap you guys catch every day. All my Arizona bretheren can atest to this, within the last 4 years Cardinals fans are coming out of hiding here in the Valley. Every other car/truck has a Sticker/flag/hitch cover on it. It is amazing to see this town getting behind the team so much. This is just the beginning folks!!! We will rise to the top, and I believe what Doug said.

I can remember my 1st trip to the Valley watching the Cards in 1989, wearing my Cards gear & getting long stares. I remember asking where I could find some Cards stuff & most people telling me they didn't even like them there. My, how times have changed.

 

[WildBB]

Even in Tucson, you'll see a lot of Cowboys and Steelers fans and only a few Cards fans. In fact, I get made fun of for wearing Cardinals stuff much more often than I hear support.

That's so dumb. It's the AZ Cardinals....Tucson!
