Arizona Cardinals Fan Fest At University of Phoenix Stadium A Success

Before this year, the Arizona Cardinals always held their annual Fan Fest at their practice facility in Tempe, Arizona. It was a good experience, well attended and it was what fans wanted. However, the organization changed things up this year and held Fan Fest on Wednesday at University of Phoenix Stadium, where parking and admission were free, there was an autograph session for children, inexpensive concessions and a lot more space.

In years past, about 5000 fans would attend the event at the team's facility.

The tally this year? Estimates from the stadium turnstiles had over 15,000 in attendance.

It looks like the organization knows how to handle this even in future years.

Several players showed their appreciation on Twitter:

Yes, these are standard responses by players, but there seems to be one thing that worked this time around. It got both fans and players fired up about the upcoming season.

If there was any doubt the team had about doing the same thing in the seasons to come, yhose doubts were likely answered by the fan turnout. Expect to see it again in the stadium next year.
