The $455 million, 63,400-seat arena, designed by architect Peter Eisenman with HOK Sport and featuring the only retractable playing field in North America, is expected to do more than fatten the family's net worth. According to Michael Bidwill, a former federal prosecutor and son of owner Bill Bidwill, who now runs the team's day-to-day business operations, "There is a direct correlation between revenue from new stadiums and being able to compete. The teams with new stadiums are consistently in the play-offs...

...have proliferated over the past decade - fish farms consisting of circular floating cages about 50 m in diameter and 50 m deep, set up 2-3 km from shore.

...customers rave about its tenderness and nutty flavor," says chef Jon Bonnell. But some grass-fed meat is too tough. And it's not easy to revive the art of producing tasty pasture-raised beef. It requires not only rotational grazing but also the genes that allow animals to fatten naturally on grass. Bill Kurtis, a former CBS newsman, launched the Tallgrass Beef Co., which sells on the Internet. "We searched for purebred Angus with genes that date to the Mayflower," he says...
