Cardinals' fans gave the team a big send-off to Charlotte for the NFC Championship game against the Panthers.
Hundreds of anxious and excited Arizona Cardinals fans lined Phoenix Sky Harbor tarmac Saturday morning to celebrate the team's appearance in tomorrow's championship showdown in North Carolina and to send their beloved birds into flight.
If the Cardinals win Sunday's game, they'll compete in the Super Bowl on Feb. 7.
At least a couple thousand fans donned red, white and black apparel while clutching commemorative signs of support in hopes that one of their gridiron heroes may notice them.
