Cardinals fans should be familiar with this destination. The Cardinals played in Philadelphia in 2013 and 2015. Both games were in December.
The ticket price is a bit high however you may not find a more dedicated and knowledgeable fan in the country than in Philadelphia. This will be the fifth trip to Lincoln Field since it replaced Veterans Stadium.
There are cheesesteaks aplenty in Philly. The cuisine should be worth the trip alone.
Please be aware Philadelphia is another one of those cities it is more difficult to find direct flights from Phoenix. You can find them but there are a lot fewer.
American is your best choice if you want to fly directly. Southwest airlines will get you there but more than likely you’ll be making at least one stop on the way.
