Stadium Grill on Thornydale and Orange Grove is a good place..they are the unofficial home of the Cardinals for away games....

North west..just off of I-10 and Orange Grove..In the Sam Levitz strip mall. It's kind of a typical Bar and Grill but it has a bunch of big screen HD TV's..beer is cold..

:) I meant him. Where does his family live? The north side of Tucson does have nicer places though.

I don't know him I was just suggesting a place..Other places would be the Fox and Hound by Foothills Mall, and there is a great place by the U of A called Sam Hughes Place..

Fox & Hound. Foothills mall. Learned the hard way when we were trying to get the Cards-Skins game. Went to 3 places prior who wouldn't show it. Incredible. Twice I heard, "This is Tucson, we don't watch the Cardinals". I said, "this isn't college man, support your state's team". There's a place in the mall. They had Tennesee and Houston on the big screen but no Cards game anywhere.

I'll be north of the university - Stadium Grill looks like my best option. Thanks!

I've always wondered how the Cardinals are supported in Tucson (?). I suspect there are a lot of Tucson Cowboy or Raider fans that wouldn't change their allegiance to root for a team from Phoenix. And I don't believe the transparent (and kind of lame, IMO) name switch to "Arizona" Cardinals necessary fooled anyone...but I could be wrong.

I've been a season tix holder since 96 (going to games since 88) and on my way up I always see a few Cars going to the games. I am glad gas has gone back down because the drive up and back was killing me.

when I went to school there the blackout rule was still in effect, and I didn't have the money to go to the games in Tempe. I think that hurt quite a bit for locals. A lot of my friends in school had grown up in Phoenix and were Cards fans.

Also check out famous SAMs. There's a bunch of them on all sides of town. I can assure you that the game will be on at my place at Campbell and river!

AHHHHH.... my Tucson disgust had faded lately.


Thanks for rejuvenating it for me.:mad:

Have you ever considered the bus that runs up there?
Lots of die hard Cards fans ride and ususlly share food and beverage.
