After years as the laughing stock of the league, the Arizona Cardinals are hoping they've turned a corner. They've got a young franchise quarterback, they've got the best stadium in football and now they have a plan: slowly and surely bring the Steelers to the desert.First it was new Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt, offensive line coach Russ Grimm and special teams coach Kevin Spencer. Special teams "ace" Sean Morey and backup tight end Tim Euhus quickly followed their former coaches to Arizona. Now Mike Barr might end up punting for the Cardinals after they picked him up off waivers today.
Barr has shown he could be a quality NFL punter so this makes some sense for the Cardinals, but you have to wonder how many ex-Steelers are going to end up in Arizona. Chukky Okobi is rumored to be headed there as well if the Steelers cut him.

Arizona does not have the best stadium in football. That title goes to Seattle, hands down. They'll be out done by Dallas in a few years - but it sure as shit aint Arizona.

Haydro, you better do some research. Their stadium field rolls out when not being played. Yes, the Cowboys stadium in Arlington Tex. will be much better considering the 1 billion dollar cost. For now, Arizona's stadium is considered the best.

Okobi would be nice to have for sure, but the guy that I would love to see joining the Cards is Fanaca.

Rolling fields and biased poles posted on team websites do not make stadiums the "best". Sure, the University of Phoenix Stadium is nice. But looks are not everything. And thats all the stadium has going for it - looks. With Qwest Field in Seattle, you not only get the looks, because it is honestly one of the best looking stadiums in the world - but you also get the title of being the loudest stadium in the NFL. Thats due solemnly to the FANS - which make the stadium the best in the NFL.

Seattle's stadium has steeper seating sections than any other NFL venue, so the fans are closer to the game, and also helps trap the sound. That way 'Hawks fans can whine about the officiating louder than any other city.

What a silly argument. List some parameters we can evaluate what makes the best stadium.
Everyones perspective is different and their judgment is to be questioned. After all.....the best stadium is my high school stadium we all know that
