Arizona stadium - our home away from home?

mooby · 12-12-2005, 12:03 AM

lol was someone wearing a steelers jersey in the first pic that bigskin showed? hahahahah

BigSKINBauer · 12-12-2005, 12:05 AM

yeah i noticed that. lol there were more steeler fans than cardinal fans. Really that must suck to have such a fan base

Also, Arizona is such a great vacation spot, and it's so easy to get Cards tickets, that visiting fans always show up in droves, no matter what game. Nevertheless, there were a TON of Skins fans there today. Awesome sight.

I was at the game with my dad and brother. It was a redskins home game.

Tempe is a great place to visit for a football game. I've been several times and have not seen one fight. The atmosphere is friendly. its a college stadium. all around the stadium are restaurants and shops. no need to tailgate before the game or leave the stadium after the game and meet your friends somewhere. you can just show up around the campus and party. they have great food. lots of bars. its like a street scene around the stadium.
did i mention its safe? you can take your family and have a great time.
its really a shame they are going to move to a new stadium next season. Im going to miss eating fish tacos before the game. go to the game. then go to hooters after the game all without walking a mile in total distance...

man i had a great time. btw, ASU student(the female ones) are some of the hottest women ever!

I lived in Tempe for about 6 months during the offseason back in 97. It's ridiculous Tempe, AZ gets a team and other places don't. There is no fanbase since the Cards haven't been there long enough. Most everyone I knew there was from back east and fans of other teams. If they were from out west and lived in Tempe they usually had no interest in football. Pics are awesome BigSkin and thanks to all those who screamed, yelled and chanted to ensure a victory and still a small playoff hope! I'm going to the game Sunday at home against Dallas and PROMISE to lose my voice! It's Dallas week everyone for the first time in 15 years!!! Let's get Fed Ex rocking like RFK!!!

It was FILLED with Skins Fans -- I was there and every year we play here. It was Great -- Cardinals Fans were SHOCKED at the overwhelming Fans we had there. Not a great game, but we managed to "prevent" a loss finally. What is up with the play calling -- so boring and predictable -- and Brunell was horrible....PUT THE ROOKIE IN !!!

USA Today commented that there was a large contingent of Skins fans in Tempe. While I thought a decent number could show up out there, even that many surprised me. I can understand the Cowboys, Raiders or even the Bears and Packers (due to the large number of midwest snowbirds and retirees out there), but even that many was a very pleasant surprise. I listened to the game on Sirius and could clearly hear cheers everytime the Skins did something good.

I had 50 yard line seats and was about 15 rows back. It was my first redskins game EVER!

It was awesome. I think Salave'a was leading the charge on the sidelines a few times. We definitely represented and we drowned out the sorry Cardinals fans. The Brown return was beautiful, he was close to breaking it the last time since the Cardinals sent everything on the other side.

Go Skins!

Hey Tagliaboo boo, Forget about moving the Saints to California....... Is there anyway the Cardinals can move to L.A. and then change their name so they aren't Cardinals anymore? At least this way geographically they would still be in the NFC West. They would have to attract more Home fans that way!

On another note, St. Louis and Arizona have to be a couple of the best places for Skins fans to get tickets to see their team play away from home. St. Louis sounded dead last week on TV. They don't support their team either.

TheMalcolmConnection · 12-12-2005, 04:22 PM

Is it just me or do the Cardinals have the second most pansy-ass logo (Dolphins being the first)? Like even though the bird has a "mean face", it definitely has room to look angrier.

MTK · 12-12-2005, 04:26 PM

They already did try to make it look meaner

On the left is the old logo, on the right the "improved" one

yup even the browns have a better symbol than them

illdefined · 12-12-2005, 04:29 PM

yeah they'd need to add fangs, a tattoo and maybe a scar to make that cardinal look mean...

TheMalcolmConnection · 12-12-2005, 04:44 PM

Yeah, cause if you're the Browns at least if you win you can stay, "We just did our symbol all OVER YOU."
