Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football

Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football
I’ve done some posts on the new Cardinals Stadium and what it means to the West Valley of Phoenix. The Cardinals are not having the banner season we were hoping for but the impact the team and stadium is having on the West Valley is significant.

Luke Air Force Base is near my home as is the Goodyear Airport. Jets don’t fly directly overhead but a little air noise is not unusual. Today I heard something new which caused me to rush out and take a look. It was the Goodyear Blimp. A sure sign of Monday Night Football.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed that the Cardinals will win tomorrow. After this season, the glow and novelty will wear off and a winning team will be necessary to keep interest in the new stadium and surrounding areas. I’m grateful for the new homes, new shopping, new jobs, and the subsequent explosion of property values. I would just hate to see a downturn as a result of fielding a team which despite its’ best efforts continues to lose.
