According to reports the NFC Championship host Arizona Cardinals have sold 70,000 tickets in just six minutes.
Normally a team selling out a Conference Championship game isn't big news but then again these Cards did need multiple extensions from the NFL, a personal appearance from the NFL's best wide-out, Larry Fitzgerald and a local pool supply company just to sellout their Wildcard round game against the Atlanta Falcons and spare themselves a local TV blackout. And it's not like the Cards-Falcons game was a big deal or anything either, it was just the first franchise hosted playoff game in 61 years!!!!
