The Cardinals are trying to "protect the nest."
This means they'd like University of Phoenix Stadium to continue to sell out, and to do so with as few opposing fans as possible.

... Talk about sticking it to you. The Arizona Cardinals are making an effort to thwart Dallas fans from turning the Oct. 12 game at University of Phoenix Stadium into a Cowboy home game.

(Just kidding, Cleveland, you’re swell.) Given all that preseason hype, combined with that needy desperation and Ken Wisenhunt’s actual ability to turn the team ...
