When we think of one of the best teams in the National Football League the name Arizona Cardinals certainly comes to mind. Arizona Cardinals is a professional American football team which is based in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The franchise was born in 1898, the team was named the Arizona Cardinals in 1901. The Cardinals are the oldest professional football franchise in the United States. They play their home games at State Farm Stadium in Glendale.
The team was moved to St. Louis in 1960 and they played there until 1987. During their time in St. Louis, they were called Football Cardinals, the Gridbirds, or the Big Red. In 2006 the franchise returned to its actual home in suburban Glendale. Despite being one of the oldest teams their path in the National Football League has not been smooth. The Cardinals have won two NFL championships, the first one in 1925 and the other nearly after two decades in 1947.

Despite the Cardinals not being in their "A-game" their fans have never stopped supporting them. The fanbase of the Cardinals is widely considered one of the best fanbases in the NFL. Now in 2023, they have a passionate team and a brilliant head coach so it may be wise to say that a Super Bowl victory for the Arizona Cardinals is on its way.
