SmithPR Ron Wolfley Cardinals seasons thumb|right|300px|Season tickets for the Cardinals' 1988 inaugural season in Arizona. The 1988 Phoenix Cardinals season was the franchise's 69th season in the National Football League and the first season in Phoenix. The Cardinals matched their seven wins from 1987, but finished with one more loss at 7–9, as 1987 was a one-game strike shortened season, and 1988 was a full 16-game season. With this move to Phoenix, the Cardinals became the first NFL team based in Arizona.
