The Cards have a well established front office between Michael Bidwell and General Manager Steve Keim. Fans are comfortable, for the most part, with the decisions made by the front office.
They also have one of the most polarizing (and therefore exciting) Head Coaches in the National Football League in Bruce Arians. Since winning Coach of the Year in Indianapolis and coming over to Glendale where he won it again, Arians has had great success.
In terms of longevity, the Cardinals have been in the valley since 1988, developing a deep, positive relationship with fans.
Finally, and most importantly, the Cardinals have had success. They made it to the Super Bowl in 2009, made the playoffs in 2010, 2015 and 2016, and are poised to make it back again this season.
With football season right around the corner, watch out for Arizona’s top team, the Arizona Cardinals.
