Houston

Air miles from Phoenix: 1,025

Best airlines for direct flights: American, United, Southwest

Places to stay: The Lancaster, Hotel Granduca, Hotel ZaZa

Places to eat: The Original Antone’s Import Co., Fat Boys Bar n Grill, Pappasito’s Cantina

2016 average price for ticket: $94.73 (12th highest in the NFL)

The trip for Cardinals fans could provide the chance to see former ASU quarterback Brock Osweiler in action.  That is, if he is still the quarterback for the Houston Texans next season.

Closer towards the end of the season is when you should hope to go.  A lot like Phoenix, Houston grows cooler in November and December.  It can be very muggy and warm in September and October.

NRG stadium should provide for a nice game.  The NFL must highly regard it as it is hosting their second Super Bowl in its short history in less than two weeks.

This is a winnable game on the road for the Cardinals.  Of course we still must wait to see how rosters pan out.  Hope for a second-half of the season trip.
