They are the oldest continuous pro football team in the US. Originally called the Morgan Athletic Club in Chicago, they were then the Racine Normals, and then the Racine Cardinals. When they joined the NFL in 1920, they were renamed the Chicago Cardinals. With their move to St. Louis, Missouri in 1960 they became the St. Louis Cardinals, before finally relocating to Tempe in 1988, and began using Arizona in the name after 1994.

Though the team is the oldest in the league, they hold the record for the longest championship drought, and join the Houston Texans as the only team to never appear in a conference Championship game. Their all time post season record is 2-5, and it's a surprisingly lean number of games for their age. A long-time rivalry, the oldest in the NFL, exists between the franchise of the Cardinals and the Decatur Staleys, who would become the Bears. It started in the 1920s. The team only posted a winning record twice in the 20 years after their Championship. They had 10 straight losing seasons between 1936 and 1945. In 2006 the team got a new stadium, the University of Phoenix Stadium with a retractable roof.

This year's free-agency period saw the Cardinals well below the salary cap of $109 million, with at least $20 million available. Compared to many other teams, this was a handsome margin. Excitement mounts and Arizona Cardinals tickets are starting to become an in-demand commodity, as expected. Arizona Cardinals home games are shaping up to take on a life all their own as the fan club bubbles with optimism for the coming season and the stadium is prepared by the excellent staff. The bleachers, seats and boxes will be buzzing before we know it!

It was hoped that the Cardinals would bring in talent during the free-agency period which, while adding some high-profile players, would also find some exceptional younger individuals, thereby infusing the overall team with high expectations for the coming season along with hope for the greater future. The Arizona Cardinals roster has seen some healthy wheeling and dealing this past few years, with Arizona Cardinals football tickets holding a fair price into the bargain. Contract extensions are also key to maintaining the integrity of the team's core. Back in 2004, the Cardinals signed Adrian Wilson in a deal that will run for at least another two years. In 2005, Anquan Boldin signed a deal taking him through 2010. Other players, such as Gerald Hayes and Darnell Dockett, are tied to five-year deals running into 2011. Reassuringly, the Cardinals have guaranteed the services of 17 of 22 players through 2007 and beyond. Over the past four seasons, the Cardinals signed 14 "high-profile" free agents who are still with the club, becoming regular participants working through the Arizona Cardinals schedule.

Record-breaking kicker Neil Rackers, who signed for the Cardinals in 2003, is still one of the most prolific NFL kickers. Rackers broke the team record in 2004 with 23 touchbacks. He also tied the NFL record that year for most 50-plus-yard field goals registering on the scoreboard from 55, 55 and 50 yards, equaling the record set in 1995 by Morten Andersen. This is the class of player we believe could take us to the Super Bowl. Johnson and Holt are the latest additions to the team, and these guys are filling holes where their exact talents were needed badly. This pair of full-time NFL starters are going to bolster the core, bringing a renewed vigor to the camp, and a definite shape to the play. For all these reasons and more, we have faith that Arizona's staying power and potential for greatness is within our grasp for the coming season.
