Fans in the Phoenix area believe in them now.

Just two weeks after needing two 24 hour extensions to sellout their first home playoff game in 61 years against the Falcons, the Arizona Cardinals are one win away from a Super Bowl, and tickets went fast.

According to the Cardinals, this Sunday’s NFC Championship game, to be played at University of Phoenix Stadium, sold out in 6 min.

And, to add fuel to the bandwagon affair, according to the AZ Republic, the sellout came with the Cards adding an additional 5,500 seats to the mix, bumping capacity from 64,500 to 70,000.

Was it a case of reality setting in? Was it beating Carolina? Was it the notion that the Arizona Cardinals – yes, the Cardinals – could be headed to the Super Bowl? Whatever the reason, no extensions needed this time.
