The Arizona Cardinals schedule in 2018 includes these three cities where fans could have a good time
We knew when the Arizona Cardinals schedule came out in April, all we needed to find out was the when. The who was already known after the end of the 2017 season.
So where are the best locations to watch the Cardinals this upcoming season on the road? Birdgang usually travels pretty well.
Green Bay
Start in Titletown, home of the Green Bay Packers. Although a small town of about 104,000 people, most everyone there lives and breathes Packers football.
This is a town where people will season tickets to other people. It’s a serious business. Of course they play at historic Lambeau Field.
Some good places to stay according to expedia.com are Tundra Lodge, Hawthorn Suites, and Holiday Inn & Suites. The price isn’t cheap though. Most accommodations though will run you $200-$350 per night.
The Cardinals visit Green Bay on December 2nd, which means you’ll likely be spending a lot of time indoors unfortunately. It is a beautiful area in the Summer.
If you are into sight seeing though, the area is not far from the upper peninsula of Michigan. The Onieda Casino is in Green Bay, so you have that if interested.
The fun is in the history though. Plus it is a hard ticket. You’ll have to find tickets through third party vendor vividseats.com. They currently have a pair of tickets as low as $113 each.
Kansas City
You can never go wrong with a trip to Arrowhead Stadium during the NFL season. The Cardinals drop by on November 11th.
The Cardinals have never won a regular season game in Kansas City. They are 0-4 lifetime at Arrowhead. Still, some of the best NFL fans reside in Kansas City.
From all accounts, tailgating at a game there is a lot of fun. That’s before the game though. Going into the stadium is another experience all in its own.
One of the loudest stadiums in the NFL, Arrowhead is usually quite the home field advantage. This season, the Cardinals might have a shot. Anything is better than their last two results there, 31-13 and 49-0 losses.
Aside from the cost being slightly lower than Green Bay, at least for a hotel, the Chiefs will be sporting a new quarterback like the Cardinals. Patrick Mahomes is the presumed starter for the 2018 season after Alex Smith was traded to the Washington Redskins.
As for the hotels, cost for that weekend is looking like anywhere from $75 and up depending on your needs. You can also find a pair of tickets on vividseats.com much cheaper than in Green Bay, starting at $28 per seat.
Minneapolis
Although this game is indoors, fans traveling to see the Cardinals take on the Minnesota Vikings at third-year U.S. Bank Stadium could be treated to a nice fall weekend. The Cardinals will travel to Minneapolis in October to play on the 14th.
You never know what you will get for weather that time of year. It could remain warm in the 70’s or even 80’s but right around then is when the weather starts changing. You could experience the 30’s or 40’s just as easily.
This is another city that shouldn’t break the bank as far as hotels go. You can find a place to stay as low as $55-$60 right now. Now flying on the other hand could be a bit pricey.
Currently the cheapest pair of tickets on vividseats.com is $55 for the game. So that too could end up costing you a bit more.
Next: Arizona Cardinals season may depend on Larry Fitzgerald
The Vikings however will be starting Kirk Cousins at quarterback and they are expected to once again compete for the NFC title. A Cardinals victory here could go a long way towards how the season will play out.
