I am a life long Arizona Cardinals fan and used to go to every game when they were at ASU. Since they moved out to Glendale several years ago I haven't been to one. Well that all changed this last week where the 1-6 Cards played the 1-6 Rams. I knew going into the year that the Cards would be pretty mediocre since they have a new QB, a new Defensive scheme to learn, and had a shortened preseason. This was one of the most exciting games that I have seen the Cards play in. Well most of the game was a snooze, but the last quarter and over time the stands were electrifying. As the Cards blocked a field goal to send the game into OT and then ran a punt back for the winning TD. This is only the second time in NFL history that an OT was won by a punt return.
The stadium itself is quite a site to behold and is really quite amazing. We tailgated in the parking lot and it was very well coordinated by security. They keep the driving lanes open by keeping everyone inside painted boarders, which is a great idea and everyone seems to follow. Once inside the security is great and never once did we feel unsafe. In fact when we were at the concession stands a fight almost broke out and before you could even process what was going on there were police and security breaking it up peacefully sending the two idiots on their way. Exiting, which is always a hassle, was actually a breeze. We were out in 10 minutes. The whole experience was amazing.
