Your right Yooper.

I am sure most of them were there anyway for the winter. They were probably all over 70, and drove to the game in their Cadallac with the left turn signal on the whole way there.

I live in Gulf Shores, Alabama and we are a "Snow Bird" area and there are several rules that I have come to follow when the funny colored license plates start showing up.

#1) Stop means STOP! When you are behind a snowbird at a stop sign or light RELAX. You are not going anywhere for awhile even after the light turns green.

#2) The 15 MILE AN HOUR RULE. Anytime you are following a snowbird this is how fast you can expect to go.

45 MPH = 30 MPH
30 MPH = 15 MPH
15 MPH = Well, turn around and go another way because you aren't getting there from here.

#2A) If there are curves in the road take another 10MPH off the adjusted speed.

#3) The 4BLOCK-30SECOND-NO TURN LANE RULE

Snowbirds, in their eagerness to be polite ALWAYS put their turn signal on FOUR BLOCKS ahead of when they intend to turn, take a minimum of 30 SECONDS to complete the turn, and, NEVER wish to create confusion by using turn lanes. They would much rather wait from the lane they are in until all is clear.

#4) All YELLOW LINES ARE SOLID.
Snowbirds NEVER under any circumstance PASS another vehicle. PERIOD.

#5) NEVER BLOW YOUR HORN AT A SNOWBIRD.
They can't HEAR it anyhow.

REMEMBER. WE WILL ALL BE SNOWBIRDS ONE DAY.
And we will be the ones sitting so low in the drivers seat you could swear no one is driving the car.

:lol: It's probably good that I live in the Northeast then, because my only speed rule is the "2x exit speed limit" rule, where I assume that it's safe to take an exit ramp at up to twice the posted speed limit on the ramp. If I had snowbirds around it would only be a matter of time before my front grill was chomping on the back of their blue hair.

It is my understanding that a substantial number of tickets are sold to the visiting team's fans.

My Out-laws are Bears fans and they went out there a couple of years back. At least 45% of the fans in the stands were cheering for Da Bears.

Originally stems from the old owner Bill Bidwell messing things up for the fans. They hated him so much it has taken a lot of time for the fans to get over it. He was not a popular owner even back in 1988 when they first moved to AZ. (Had other in-laws living out there at that time and they were amazed at how much Bidwell did to alienate the public.)

Bidwill's ownership has been marked by little success. In his 47 years as at least part-owner, the Cardinals have only made the playoffs five times. He moved the team to Phoenix, Arizona after the 1987 NFL season after St. Louis refused to build a new stadium to replace Busch Memorial Stadium. Bidwill had a reputation for running the Cardinals rather cheaply; the Cardinals had one of the lowest payrolls in the league for many years. In recent years, however, the Cardinals have begun to spend more since the University of Phoenix Stadium in 2006.
The increased revenue paid off in 2008, when the Cardinals won their division for the first time since 1975 (while they were still in St. Louis), hosted a playoff game for only the second time in franchise history (the last coming in 1947, while they were still in Chicago) and advanced to Super Bowl XLIII.

In recent years, Bidwill has ceded most day-to-day control over the Cardinals to his sons Michael and Bill, Jr., who serve as team president and vice president respectively.

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
