If by sad you mean brilliant. I wish we would have done that when the Steelers came to town a few years ago.

Yea, I thought the ratio would've been turned the other way around.


This is a pretty shady tactic, IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL puts a stop to this practice, otherwise it might become more commonplace.

The reason it's sad is that this isn't a new problem for the Cardinals - due to their historic terribleness, there are more Cowboys fans in that area than Cards fans, so they have to "protect" their home field advantage when the Cowboys come to town.

That's the right thing to do, trust me.

Over the past 5 years or so, every time the Eagles play at Washington, there are just tons and tons of birds fans in the stands. Now, I'm an Eagles fan, so I think its great, but for the home team it has to suck.

Of course, we're getting those tickets often very cheap from the typical Skins season ticket holder that has thrown in the towel and doesnt want to go to a division game. Can't prevent that.

It's easier for NFL teams to sell season tickets, it's basically an 8 game package.
