An estimated 1,800 fans turned out at Sky Harbor airport this morning to give the Arizona Cardinals a rousing send-off on their way to Tampa Bay for the Super Bowl.
The enthusiastic Cardinals supporters and their families, many holding homemade signs (or babies in cute, red jerseys) lined up near a Northwest Airlines jet on a Terminal 2 tarmac to cheer on their favorite players.
A few dignitaries were also on-hand, including the state’s new governor, Jan Brewer, who wore a bright-red outfit.
