It took 62 years to change and that change has resulted with lots of smiling faces and a wave of pride around the State of Arizona.
The football game against the Eagles and the Arizona Cardinals started at 1pm today. According to local newscasters, streets were bare at 1pm. I guess almost everyone was already glued to the sets to watch the kick off. I joined some friends at their golf course home to watch tube. There were about 15 of us screaming, yelling, waving our white cloths routing on our hometown team just like the fans at the game.
Todays Arizona Cardinals game was the most exciting games of the season! The Cardinals have played in the "Valley of the Sun" for 21 years without a winning season. This afternoon the Cardinals dominated the first half, then slid back during the third quarter, with a 4th quarter nailbiter. It was a positive winning game with a final tribute to Jesus.
The Cardinals was founded in 1898 and is the oldest continuously run professional football franchise. The Cardinals finally won the distinction of being the NFC champions. The last time that the Cardinals won the championship was in 1947. Tears of joy were shed this afternoon watching the Cardinals owner Bill Bidwell accept the trophy.
In 1988 the Cardinals moved from St. Louis, Missouri to the Sun Devil Stadium which is located at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. In 2000, Glendale Arizona Mayor Elaine Scruggs had the foresight to bid for the construction of the new stadium in Glendale Arizona and subsequently obtained the bid for the 2008 Super Bowl. The stadium named University of Phoenix Stadium is the home of the Arizona Cardinals since 2006. The 63,000 seat stadium was sold out today and its retractable roof was open to the 73 degree weather.
Sports casters gave up hope for the Arizona Cardinals months ago. The underdogs are FINALLY going to the Super Bowl! The Cardinals have brought pride, excitement and happiness to the state. This is even more exciting than last year's Super Bowl in Glendale.
Thank you Cardinals for your hard work and dedication to the fans. I am taking the day off on February 1st to watch our team play in the Super Bowl!!
