Based in Glendale, Arizona, the Arizona Cardinals are members of the West Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League.
The franchise was originally established in Chicago in 1898, but it wasn’t until 1920 that the team became part of the NFL. In 1960, the Cardinals moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where they stayed until 1987, when the team was transferred to Arizona.
In Arizona, the Cardinals played in the Sun Devil Stadium of Arizona State University for 18 years until the team moved to a new facility at the University of Phoenix in 2006.
The Cardinals franchise is the oldest in professional football and yet, despite the team’s extended time in the NFL, Arizona has only won two NFL championships, first in 1925 and then in 1947. The Cardinals have only claimed one conference title, in 2008.
In fact, 2008 was the first time the Cardinals had reached a conference championship game since 1970. The team has also played only three playoff games at home, two of which occurred in 2008.
Overall, 2008 has proven a record-breaking season for Arizona. After reaching first place in the NFC West with a 9-7 record, the Cardinals reached the Super Bowl final game. However, the team lost against the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-23.
