Arizona Cardinals History And Tickets

The Arizona Cardinals had quite an interesting line up for the 2009 season. Division standings put them at the top of the chart with 10 wins, 6 losses and a percent of .625. This was ahead of San Francisco, Seattle and St. Louis. From the top five defensive plays to the top five offensive touchdowns, the 2009 season was nothing to sneer at by a long shot. The offensive depth chart first place offensive line included Larry Fitzgerald (WR1), Jeremy Bridges (LT), Reggie Wells (LG), Lyle Sendlein (C), Deuce Lutui (RG), Levi Brown (RT), Anthony Becht (TE), Anquan Boldin (WR1), Kurt Warner (QB), Tim Hightower (RB) and Dan Kreider (FB).

The defense lineup was strong with Calais Campbell, Bryan Robinson, Darnell Dockett, Chike Okeafor, Karlos Dansby, Gerald Hayes, Clark Haggans, Bryant McFadden, Adrian Wilson, Antrel Rolle and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. At the wildcard playoffs, the Arizona Cardinals took on the Green Bay Packers and won 51-45. Warner passing totaled 379 in the game. Wells rushing was 91 yards and Steve Breaston's receiving total was 125. Next were divisional playoffs and again Warner brought the passing yards to the table with a total of 205. Hightower held the distinction for rushing with 87 yards and Fitzgerald had 77 receiving yards.

Although the Arizona Cardinals weren't able to bring home the divisional playoffs victory, it was a valiant show of courage against the New Orleans Saints, who brought their A game and beat the Cardinals 45-14. Perhaps one of the equally fascinating games the Arizona Cardinals play was on October 18 against the Seattle Seahawks. There must have been something in the air that day because the total team stats for the game for the Cardinals was 344 net yards with 2 turnovers. Critics argued there shouldn't have been any turnovers at all but the final score speaks for itself and it said a 27-3 victory for the Arizona Cardinals.

University of Phoenix Stadium has many interesting facts that make it one of the most phenomenal arenas in the country. From the 19 inch wide seats in the stadium and 21 inch wide club seats. With 1.7 million square feet of stadium footage University of Phoenix Stadium has expandable seating capacity to 73,000 patrons. When Cardinals games are in full swing, there are 1250 shade trees in the stadium plaza and 310 stationary food and beverage outlets. Ten elevators and 18 escalators provide easy access to all seating location. Three main entrances to the stadium have number distinctions that are 30 feet high and impossible to miss.

Eight acres outside University of Phoenix Stadium provide space to have a tailgating party that is second to none. Known as The Great Lawn, it is an awe inspiring scene to look out across the acres and witness a sea of Cardinals fans enjoying the outside before the game. Those who want to get inside the stadium for the early games can take their excitement to the Red Zone Tailgate Party.

Located at 1 Cardinals Drive in Glendale, Arizona and first opened in 2006, the University of Phoenix Stadium is home to the Arizona Cardinals and has held the Fiesta Bowl since 2007. The NCAA Men's Basketball Regional Final was held at the stadium in 2009 and WrestleMania XXVI this year. Formerly known as the Cardinals Stadium, the University of Phoenix purchased naming rights on a 20-year agreement worth almost $200 million dollars. With a fully retractable natural grass playing surface, this stadium, which took three years to build, cost $455 million to construct which included site improvements, the land and the stadium itself. With so many features and amenities, the University of Phoenix Stadium is one venue that's well worth the trip to see the Arizona Cardinals in action.
