New addition to the Arizona Cardinals Ring of Honor
It has been part of the Arizona Cardinals tradition to give recognition to team members who have served above and beyond the realms of their expectations. The current ring of honor honorees can be seen displayed inside the Arizona Cardinals stadium, University of Phoenix in Glendale Arizona.
The current ring of honor was first inaugurated at the University of Phoenix stadium in Glendale in 2006 when the stadium was built, finished and dedicated to the game of football. Not all of those named would have actually played for the Cardinals in Arizona, some of them would have been known for their accomplishments while playing at previous venues or towns, seeing as how the present day Arizona Cardinal have had several home changes as they have move around the country to finally and for the time being reside in Arizona.
