The NFL Cardinals have moved many times, with the most recent move occurring in the mid-1980s, as the Cardinals left their home of 27 years in St. Louis for the deserts of Arizona. Below is a listing, with years, of the various cities the Cardinals have called home, as well as the different names the football team used ove the years.
