New Stadium In 2006

by Josiy white

Despite the new stadium, the team began the 2006 season with a 1-8 record, punctuated by a 24-23 loss to the Chicago Bears nhl authentic jerseys on October 16 ( before a sellout crowd enjoying a rare Cardinals appearance on Monday Night Football ) in which Arizona blew a 20-point lead in an extremely bizarre game as Chicago scored zero offensive touchdowns and the Cardinals led in several statistical categories including Time of Possession, Passing Yardage, Rushing Yardage, Giveaways, Takeaways, and Interceptions. Despite all the overwhelming statistical evidence the Bears nhl alternate jerseys capitalized on the two turnovers the Cardinals did commit, a pair of fumbles, and promptly returned them both for touchdowns. They also converted a punt return into a touchdown. The Cardinals had a chance to redeem themselves with nhl jerseys wholesale a last minute field goal which would give them the victory, but their offense went into a conservative state and stalled just past midfield, which set up a 40 yard field goal attempt by Neil Rackers, which was wide left. Afterwards Dennis Green fired off an uncharacteristic, angry tirade in the postgame press conference, stating "The Bears are who we thought they were...and if you want to crown them, then crown their ass! The Bears are who we thought they were...and we let’em off the hook!"

In 2000, Maricopa County voters passed a ballot initiative by a margin of 51% to 49%, providing funding for a new Arizona Cardinals nhl hockey jerseys stadium ( as well as for improvements to Major League Baseball spring training facilities in the greater Phoenix region; and youth recreation ). After some legal obstacles, the Cardinals cheap nhl jerseys began construction of their new facility in April 2003, in Glendale, one of the western suburbs of Phoenix. University of Phoenix Stadium features a retractable roof and a slide-out grass surface, which is good for the hot desert weather; the new stadium has a state-of-the-art air conditioning system and high-back seats.

For some time, many team officials blamed Sun Devil Stadium for the Cardinals'woes. Being merely a tenant in a college-owned stadium denied the Cardinals access to many revenue streams that other NFL teams took for granted.

The 63,500-seat stadium ( expandable to 72,800 ) opened on August 12, 2006 when the Cardinals nhl team jerseys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, 21-13, in a preseason game. The Cardinals then hosted their first regular season opening day game since moving to the Phoenix area in 1988, defeating the San Francisco 49ers in a rematch of the 2005 blowout in Mexico City, 34-27, in front of a sellout crowd of 63,407. In February 2008, the stadium hosted Super Bowl XLII.

Following the game against the Bears, Green fired his offensive coordinator, Keith Rowen, and the focal point nhl new jerseys was the game's final drive with the conservative play calling being the reason behind the firing. In the first game after the Monday Night debacle, the Cardinals were dominated in a 22-9 loss to the previously winless Raiders, one of only two games Oakland won in 2006.
