What Cardinals Fans Are Saying

Hey guys, I saw that my post from the AZ Cardinals forums was quoted. In no way, was I assuming that you guys make the playbook. Just figured it'd be a fun thing to post some of the insight you guys have on your own team, anything to kill some time (waiting on Sunday is killer eh?). 

I wouldn't take the Camthers thing to personal, Cam is a huge personality. Most of the guys over on our boards are pretty knowledgeable, and more importantly we're all pretty realistic heading into the NFCCG. You guys have talent all over there field, the kind of talent that should (and does) warrant a healthy amount of respect from our fans and our team. I think we can all agree these are the two best teams in the NFC, so it's fitting the NFCCG should come down to this. 

Here's to hoping for an injury free game, it'd be brutal to beat each other up to the point we can't deliver the beat down New England or Denver so desperately deserve! As always, best of luck guys!

Speak for yourself. They may seem cute online, but both times I've been to Arizona for a game, I was treated worse than I was at a Raiders game.

First time I was heckled by fans on the way in and especially on the way out. For the dumbest poo too. Like a gang full of guys saying poo about me and my girl which is a terrible situation to be in. I had a chick hit me in the face with a towell thing. The next time I went, one of the trashiest families I ever seen literally wanted to fight me and my pregnant girlfriend just for cheering after a big play. I love poo talkning and am always down for a good fight, but not when I'm just having a good time at a game not doing anything out of the ordinary and with my obviously fugging pregnant S/O. 

The worst thing I witnessed though was after one of the games, I noticed a fight breaking out so I went to see what the commotion was about. There was about 4-5 guys, all Cardinal fans, literally just beating the poo out of eachother. No cops in sight, they literally beat this one dude up so badly he was gushing blood and they stomped his fugging head while already knocked out on the ground. Another dude in a wheelchair who was with one of the guys got involved and they tipped his wheelchair. All while people were screaming "you guys are rooting for the same team, what the fug?!".

They're a very ugly fan base. Lots of gang affiliation looking to stir poo up and A LOT of drunk fat dudes that wanna act tough. They may be nice online, but not over in AZ. May have just been my experience by 2 out of 2 times is enough for me to decide to not go back there. Especially since we lose every time I've been out there too...

That's awful to hear, and truthfully embarrassing as a Cardinals fan. Sorry about your experience, hopefully everything is civil in Carolina. Especially for the odd Cardinal fan that makes his way to BoA stadium this weekend.

BOA is pretty welcoming by NFL standards.  In you have a bad experience as an opposing fan it generally would be b/c you went looking for trouble.  Some stadiums you really have to worry about home fans just looking to ruin your time.    Overall we seem to let people enjoy their hard earned purchase and enjoy the game.  A little jab hear or there for good fun is about the worst of it usually.

Without a doubt, that's why it's a bit disheartening to hear that a guy who was just looking to enjoy a chance to watch his team play was berated in such a way.

I too am a Cardinals fan, but I have crept this forum for years now because you guys have a great sense of humor and are probably the most similar to the forums I frequent in AZ. I don't know where this "Camthers" thing, but it's pretty stupid. I know that those of us who are die hard fans of the Cardinals and the NFL in general do not take the Panthers lightly in any sense. I think the key for us is keeping Carson upright. If we can do that it will be a game. If we can't, it won't.

It's all good, every fan base has its fair share of bad fans. I've told this story to people that were at the same game or have been to Cardinals game before and they were shocked and had polar opposite experiences.

I'm also a younger, more boisterous, passionate fan which can sometimes rub people the wrong way, especially when said people are drunk and we're playing in their house.

Still doesn't explain some of the things I experienced, but hey it is what it is. 

As a guy who talks severe smack to opposing fans whenever I go to BoA, I would say actually being enemy territory is gonna open you up to a world of hurt everywhere. Maybe not "fear for your life" levels like in Oakland, San Fran, or Philly, but in the heat of the moment is going to be different than outside of game time.

Caveat: I'm also an asshole online, and a pretty terrible human being overall, so take that as you will.

What year was it that we had vinnie start for us in Arizona? Anyways, I was at that game and had to jump the row of "fans" who were in front of us because they felt it was the right thing to do to punch the kid (probably 18/19) beside me in the face because he was talking smack after dlo's long run. Straight up stadium brawl  lol  

Dudes were double fisting beers all game and one had a skullet to die for!! 

Yeah, not the classiest fans. 

 

Funny though, they got kicked out. (After the brawl) lucky for me I had not drank the entire game because of the night before, so the police kindly escorted them out and the guy who owned the seats (box owner too) come and apologized. 

(For the record I did tell the kid (who I didn't know) to slow his roll, but "Chunk"(my nickname for him because he looked like the kid from the goonies) kept talking smack the whole game. Well damn if the panthers didn't back up his smack. Lol  He was a huge panther fan. Lol.

 

damn old ass Vinnie!!

Welcome to the huddle! I hope no one is overlooking the panthers. At this point, no one should be overlooked especially a 16-1 team. Good luck Sunday. Go Panthers.
