A list of bars which cater to fans of other NFL teams (besides the Arizona Cardinals)- with all the out of state transplants in the Valley, this might be of use to some people who want to see the game with other fans of their favorite team.

List of Phoenix-area sports bars by NFL team

Something isn't right if you're not rooting for the Cards!

So let me get this straight, if you move somewhere you automatically have to be a fan of that area's teams. I didn't realize there was such a rule. I've been a lifelong (60 years) fan of the Packers. Just because I recently moved to AZ I now have to be a Cardinals fan. Sorry...it doesn't work that way. A true fan, especially a fan of the most storied team in NFL history, doesn't change loyalties that easily. I have lived in D.C., Miami, Tampa and Illinois and never would I have become a Redskins, Dolphins, Buccaneers or Bears fan (especially the hated Bears). I will root for the Cards when they're not playing the Packers on December 27th, but I don't call myself a Cardinals fan. If you moved to Wisconsin, or anywhere else, would you automatically drop your allegiance to the Cards and become a fan of that area's team? If so, you're a fair-weather fan, not a true Cards fan.

I was a blind fool season ticket holder for 12 years.

Your loyalty doesn't matter to them. Straight out of their own ticket reps mouth "they'll sell to whoever pays the listed ticket amount."

Most of the time that's to ticket brokers, and that markup gets passed on to local cards fans. And if cards fans don't want to pay it, the front office doesn't care, they'll cater to opposing team fans.

Then you're doing exactly as I posted No one said be a fan it said watch the Cards

So you did support the home team very happy for you Many years ago I was a season ticket holder at SDS, but that wasn't as much fun, although much cheaper, than going to games a UoPS

No, you don't have to be a fan of the Cardinals to live here. After 20+ years of mediocrity and hoping they would someday get better...you don't have to support the team. On the flip side, you can usually go see your team come in and beat them up...so that is a plus.

Not sure how 'with it' you are but things have changed a lot in the last 10 years.

If you are referring to the one year they had with an actual QB (Warner) then yes, I am completely aware that they are still a barely mediocre team and Arians wouldn't know a good Quarterback (which the team has always been sorely lacking) if John Elway walked up and introduced himself. The only thing that has changed in 10 years is we spent millions of dollars to build them a new stadium.
