Arizona Cardinals Tickets Caliente, Like The Desert

The Arizona Cardinals, driven by the offseason acquisition of Edgerin James, the draft of 2004 Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart, and a brand new stadium in the West Phoenix suburb of Glendale, have announced that fewer than 3,000 season tickets remain for the 2006 season.

This is an amazing accomplishment for a franchise that has not sold out a home game in six seasons. In 2005, the Cardinals were the only team in the NFL to draw fewer than 400,000 fans, making Sun Devil Stadium the league's emptiest. In early April, we covered an announcement that the Arizona Cardinals would not offer partial season ticket plans to their fans this year - and we're a little skeptical. Let's just say I might have to eat a little crow..er Cardinal.

The Arizona Cardinals will open their new retractable roof, retractable field stadium on August 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If that's true, the resale market for Arizona Cardinals tickets could spike. Right now tickets for the Steelers game against Arizona can be had on StubHub for as little as $33.
