Did You Know
The '''Arizona Cardinals''' are the oldest professional American football team operating in the United States.
The Cardinals are one of only six NFL teams never to make a Super Bowl appearance. (The others are the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, and the New Orleans Saints). The team's lone NFL championship game victory came in 1947 while they were based in Chicago, and came two decades before the first Super Bowl Game was ever played. The club's other NFL championship occurred in 1925, eight years before the league began holding a championship game. In the six-plus decades since winning the championship in 1947, the team has qualified for the playoffs only six times and has won only two playoff games.
Before the 1988 NFL season, the team moved from St. Louis, Missouri to Tempe, Arizona and played their home games for the next 17 years at Arizona State University's Sun Devil Stadium. In 2006 the club began playing all home games at the newly constructed University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
