We might as well call Phoenix Bears West. I was home on a business/personal trip over the weekend and flew back to Phoenix late last night. the flight was booked fully with about 60% of the flight being Bears fans in full Bears gear from Chicago. Most of them don't even have tickets, just hoping to get them from a scalper tonight.
I was accepted to be an usher by the Cardinals and worked my first game last week against KC. It's going to be hard for me working the game in Cardinals gear (as I stated earlier this morning on the Tony Bruno show...if anyone heard it), but I don't care if they fire me for cheering the Bears on. This game is the only reason I applied in the first place after seeing how high the ticket prices have gone.
I stopped in to a local Denny's for breakfast this morning, and there were again TONS of Bears fans there, some I even recognized from the flight last night.
The local radio shows are amazing at the Bears support out here...and ironically they still think the Cards have a shot minus Larry Fitzgerald. Homers are crazy!
Anyways, if anyone sees a Cardinals employee in the upper deck by the 50 yard line hollerin for Da Bears, that's me!
peace, and Go Bears!!!
