The Arizona Cardinals are the oldest continuously run professional football team in the United States. In 1920 the Chicago Cardinals became charter members of the American Professional Football League, the NFL’s predecessor. The team’s first star was future Hall of Fame halfback Paddy Driscoll, who was known for his drop-kicking prowess. The Cardinals, based in Comiskey Park, captured their first NFL crown in 1925 under head coach Norman Barry. Following the 1925 championship, the Cardinals struggled for two decades, recording only two winning records from 1926 to 1945. One highlight during those years was when star running back Ernie Nevers came out of retirement to join the club in 1929.

The Stadium was constructed between two small mountains and was completed in time for the start of the 1958 season. The stadium was named after the team, Sun Devil Stadium, and had a capacity of 30,000. Since its opening in 1958, many additions have been completed at Sun Devil Stadium. Beginning in 1976, the capacity was increased to over 57,000.
