Pre-season Away Game Vs. Arizona Cardinals Announced

West-coast Steelers fans will be thrilled to hear that the NFL announced yesterday that the Pittsburgh Steelers will play their first preseason game on August 12, 2006 against the Arizona Cardinals.

The game will be the first game played in the Arizona's brand new Cardinals Stadium, so demand for Steelers @ Cardinals tickets will be high, despite being the 1st preseason game and being in Arizona in August. (The new stadium has a nifty retractable roof and field.)

Normally, a game in Arizona is good news for Steelers fans. The Cardinals were the only team in the NFL to draw fewer than 400,000 fans in 2005. The Cardinals were also the only team with attendance below 300,000 in 2005. That's right, the Cardinals were last in the NFL in attendance by 100,000 fans.

If this were anything but a preseason game, I would be recommending the purchase of Arizona Cardinals season tickets immediately as your best way to secure tickets to the game. Season ticket packages start at just $10 per game for upper deck end zone tickets.

The Cardinals are due to announce single game ticket information in June or July. Tickets are already available on ebay.
