After the NFL announced that the Rams home playoff game would be moved to Arizona, there was a period of confusion regarding how a franchise was expected to send its entire operation to a different state in 48 hours.
When the announcement was made, Cardinals’ owner Michael Bidwell was a man who played no factor nor bore any responsibility for what the Rams would have to overcome in order to play. However, it’s never been the style of the Bidwells to sit on the sidelines. Michael’s legendary father Bill was a known philanthropist who would often make donations to charitable causes without recognition, just the way he wanted it.
So it was no surprise to hear Michael was ready to help his NFC West rival not only make the journey but also ensure the Cardinals facility would feel like home for Los Angeles. According to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport, Bidwell and his organization did the following…
Ensuring his father’s legacy lives on through not only his organization but through the people carrying his last name, Michael Bidwell’s actions have been subjected to the unwanted but very much deserved praise of the public. While Bidwell appreciates the appreciation, he prefers to remain behind the scenes. Despite his soft-natured personality, his actions have earned him a special place in the hearts of Rams fans everywhere.
Bidwell has publicly ensured his facility will be available for as long as the Rams need it. “They’re more than welcome to stay.” As a family man, Bidwell knows how important it is for the Rams and their families to feel safe and secure in such trying times.
Despite their intense rivalry, there are some things that are bigger than football and for a man just acting like his dad, his actions are simply another day at work. The Rams will play the Vikings at State Farm Stadium on Monday.
