The Anti-Cowboy Plan

[headsplint]

The Arizona Cardinals are trying to "protect the nest." This means they'd like University of Phoenix Stadium to continue to sell out, and to do so with as few opposing fans as possible.

In the past two seasons, there was little concern about this since the team sold out every home game. But with ticket sales a bit slower as the third season approaches, the Cardinals are requiring fans who want to buy tickets to the Dallas game on Oct. 12 to also buy tickets for the Aug. 7 exhibition opener vs. New Orleans. Cardinals fans have "created a decisive home-field advantage" the past two years, and the team wants to keep it that way by discouraging single-game ticket sales to Dallas Cowboys fans, team spokesman Mark Dalton said.


Awesome! I love how everyone hates the Cowgirl's.

That's because most of the time when the Cowboys play the Cards in Phoenix about half of the stadium are Cowboys fans.

The Cowboys had a large following in Arizona PRE Cardinal days.

I'll be the first to admit, the Cowboys are no Steelers or Chiefs when it comes to fan travel. I would love to see Dallas up there with those organizations when it comes to away game travels, but it is what it is- it's fact. With one special exception: the Arizona Cardinals. I don't know what it is, I don't know why it's just this team, but dating back since the Card's NFC East days, Cowboy fans have absolutely owned that stadium on Card-Cowboy gamedays. It's almost a weird, cult, tradition. This new rule by the Cardinals will do nothing. The same fans who have made the annual pilgrammage to Arizona will somehow find a way again.

Even when the Cards played in St.Louis they were infested with Cowboy fans in the stands.

This country is so full of band-wagoners it makes me want to vomit.

I am no bandwagon fan of the cowboy's because I am from Irving, Texas. But the Cowboys are just like the Yankee's. Just look at what the Yankee's did to MMP a few weeks back.

I went to a Raiders-Cowboys game some years back when Emmitt was still playing and there were tons of Cowboys fans there.

Helped by the fact that the Cowboys trained for years in California and are going back there this year. It builds up a fan base.

Dude most of those people lived in Phoenix, I grew up there, Phoenix is a Transplant city, and since the Cardinals suck, they have had little true fan attendance, needless to say tickets up until last year were cheap and easy to come by. Why would somebody have flown to AZ for a game when Dallas was going to win 35-3 anyway??

Hydro, that is the funniest thing I have heard on this board. Did you win the MNF ticket thing?

LOL, no but thanks for asking. I'm calling in all favors though so I won't give up until I have tickets to that game. I'm not going to miss a mortgage payment for it but if I can get a good deal I'll be there.....it is my destiny. ;)
