The Arizona Cardinals are one of the oldest and most storied teams in the National Football League (NFL). The team was originally founded in Chicago in 1898. The franchise lasted in the Chicago area for sixty years, before moving to St. Louis in 1960. The team was designated the St. Louis Cardinals, similar to the Major League Baseball (MLB) team, which was located in the same city. In 1988, the Cardinals completed a move to Phoenix, Arizona. They were called the Phoenix Cardinals until 1993, when they changed the team name to the Arizona Cardinals.
