The Arizona Cardinals football team — including its predecessors — is the oldest continuously run professional football franchise in the nation.
In 1922, the team moved to Chicago and played at Comiskey Park. In that same year, the team joined the NFL as the Chicago Cardinals. The team played there for 37 years.
Because of The Second World War, the Cardinals combined with the Pittsburgh Steelers to play as one team in 1944. The team was called Card-Pitt.
In 1988, the Cardinals moved to Arizona and changed their name to the Phoenix Cardinals.
In their first season as the Cardinals, the team achieved two records: one for single game attendance (vs. Cowboys in their inaugural Arizona game) and one for season attendance.
