ARIZONA CARDINAL FANS
ITS TIME FOR GAME WEEK 3
WHO: Arizona Cardinals vs Jacksonville Jaguars
WHEN :Game kickoff is at 1:00 pm Eastern Standard Time
Where: TIAA Bank Stadium in Jacksonville
The History You May Not Know About:
I'm only going to touch on this a little here because
Putmein will be putting up his Game Day Thread Chock
full of information. I haven't read his script as of yet,
FLCardinalFan Lived in Jacksonville, Florida
as a toddler and I still have many relatives there.
**** The Jacksonville Cardinals (ALMOST)****
The year is 1987 and Bill Bidwill is courting
several cities around the USA looking for a new home
for his then St. Louis Cardinals. Among those cities
were Baltimore Maryland, Memphis Tennessee, Jacksonville Florida
and Phoenix Arizona. Being from Florida, I would have been
thrilled to see the team come here to the other Sunshine State.
But then again, I would have never met you guys
or had this great Cardinals Forum.
Some things that are not mentioned in the articles in the links
below is this. Bill Bidwill and Hugh Culverhouse
struck up a pretty good friendship over time
when the Tampa Bay Bucs owner came into the NFL.
Bill Bidwill really did not want any competition
if he moved the team to another state. either
did Hugh Culverhouse. Florida had Tampa and Miami
already as NFL Teams. Jacksonville at the time
was only a 787,000 plus in population.
The Phoenix offer was better and to
make this long story short.
That is how the Phoenix Cardinals
Now Arizona Cardinals came to be
into existence.
