The Arizona Cardinals are a professional American football team based in Phoenix. The Cardinals are a part of the National Football Conference West division of the NFL, and their home games are held at State Farm Stadium. Two NFL championships have been won by the Cardinals, both while the franchise was situated in Chicago. The club has had many losing seasons since winning the title in 1947, and it now has the longest ongoing championship drought in North American sports at 75 seasons.<\/p>\n

Looking at the franchise’s history, it’s fair to say that they haven’t tasted success for many years in the past. However, despite a team’s championship drought, fans stick with their teams all the time.<\/p>\n
