Cowboys @ Cardinals: Remembering when Arizona was ‘Cowboys Country’

When the St. Louis Cardinals moved west to take up residence in the southwest they were invading Dallas Cowboys territory. It was a natural thing for the folks in Arizona to follow the star; Dallas was at least from their region of the country and there was that little track record of sustained success under Tom Landry.

In 1988 you could find more Cowboys fans in Phoenix than you could devotees of the team that had just moved into town.

The Cowboys resurgence in the 1990’s coupled with the relative lack of success by the Cardinals insured that Arizona would remain Cowboys country into the new millennium.
