I miss watching NFL football outside (post September). There’s something just kinda sterile about the Big Toaster, especially when we suck.

Football is meant to be played outside & on grass, I’ll always say that. At least we play on natural grass. Turf in a dome is the worst.

Well, I've had a day to cool off. I'm going to retract my dark sider post I made in one of these threads and go back to the Kool aiders side. They, after all, are my team. Go Cards!

Exactly. My first thought walking into it for the first time ever was that it felt like a big warehouse rather than a football stadium. We were sold on it being a closed roof stadium only for early season hot weather games and that it would be open all other games. Seemed like most seasons we still played more road games early regardless of the fact we basically had a domed stadium for those games. Then it turned into "Warner likes it closed" or some other factors which have had the roof closed on beautiful days/nights. Meh.

Having a good Kurt Warner back, I'd take it.

How do you change your title? I'm no longer team Murray. Done with the guy.

I'm not sure if this is flippant or not. Hard to tell some days around here. But if it's not, hit your account popup at the top of the page and then it's in Account Details. You can always DM me too with what you want and I'll change it for you.

I miss the SDS days, too.

Boy, this is really people romanticising their younger days 25+ years ago when they were young and excited at the games. I also was a season ticket holder at the worst stadium in the NFL with hard benches seats, 100 degrees at 1:00 in the afternoon, many fights because anyone could get tickets, and always less Cardinal fans than the other team. Not mentioning the ankle deep flooding in the restrooms and concourse and long concession lines. The Cardinals had to build the new stadium, or leave Phoenix. Plus, the teams were the worst in Cardinal history.

I thought the jerseys they gave out were Plummer, Boston, KVB, and Lassiter.

My wife still wears her KVB, and I still wear my Lassiter.

At a game at SDS, Kyle was getting carted off for an injury and my wife and he had a Mean Joe Greene kind of moment. As he passed by us, she thumbed up her jersey at him and he smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

I was blessed to get to know Kwamie pretty well. Great guy on and off the field. He once stopped me at a game in Glendale and went to customer service for a Sharpie just so he could re-sign my jersey because his signature was fading.

At SDS we used to get the biggest ASFN halftime gatherings. Some people came from the opposite side of the stadium just to be with the group at the half. Now we get just a couple or more at each half.

I also miss stadium security trying to stop the fans from bouncing inflatable beach balls around, @MadJack's signs (when he could really speak his mind), and so many other little things about game days there.

Ah yes I remember it well. We had season tickets for 9 years before we made the move to Wisconsin.

Halftime meets were awesome. And where I met many a good cards fans. Some that we have lost along the way.

I met O and Gee at those meet ups

I'm double down. This team is BAD on D and without an OC that can use Kyler, is BAD on O.

Don't tempt me with a good bad time.

Sorry, where IN account details? I am not seeing the option in the account details screen.

Saw a ranking on Cowherd today. All 3 Cardinal losses are to teams he has ranked in the top 7. BTW, SF is also. It is going to get worse before it gets better.

The Cardinals roster is absolutely not at a level to compete with the NFL elite, at least not yet.

 

[phillycard]

Nichols and Jones can start for more than half the teams in the league.

Oooph, this didn't age well.

The NBA season is just around the corner, just saying

Zach Allen just got a safety. I am sure we couldn’t use that.

You just had to go there, huh?

 

[Solar7]

There was something oddly masochist yet comfortable about that hellhole. I say often I miss that old SDS heritage and lore.

I only got to experience one year of it, my freshman year at ASU, but yeah, it was fun in its own way.

I can't say I prefer it to the early days in our current stadium, but everything I see on TV (I haven't been in 5 years-ish) makes it look horrible and full of other fans. Just like any Raiders game here in Vegas.

And the crappy metal benches with nothing denoting your seat but a number. Terribke.

I’m like 99% sure that was sarcasm. Many people insisted those guys were above-average starters based on snap counts.
