Arizona Cardinals considered move to Evanston, Illinois in past

The Arizona Cardinals once contemplated relocating to Evanston, Illinois, a decision that seemed imminent at one point. The franchise has undergone several changes since its founding in 1898, including various team names, with a history predominantly based in Chicago. Struggles with attendance compared to local rivals have challenged the organization throughout its history. The team has only claimed two championships, both under contentious circumstances, as they faced ongoing competition from the more popular Chicago Bears. The Cardinals remain a significant part of NFL history as one of its charter members.
