Bidwill continues to maintain a daily presence with the Cardinals, but in recent years, his 46-year-old son, Michael, has primarily run the team in his role as team president. A native of Chicago, Bill Bidwill presides over the oldest continuously operated professional football franchise, which was founded in 1898. The Cardinals have remained in the Bidwill family since Bill's father, Charles, a prominent Chicago sports figure, purchased the team in 1932. Charles ran the club until his death in 1947. Charles' wife, Violet, ran the team for the next 15 years, followed jointly by sons Bill and Charles Jr. (Stormy), with Bill becoming the team's sole owner in 1972. Bill Bidwill serves on the Player Dire Need Fund Committee, as well as the Hall of Fame Committee. He was named to the board of trustees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August 2007. Michael Bidwill joined the Cardinals' organization in 1996 as vice president/general counsel after practicing law for six years as a federal prosecutor. He was the key force behind the development of University of Phoenix Stadium. Within the league, he chairs the NFL security advisory committee.	Kroenke, a Missouri billionaire married to the daughter of Wal-Mart co-founder James Walton, first became involved with bringing pro football back to St. Louis in 1993 with a failed attempt to land an expansion franchise. Two years later, when the Rams moved from Los Angeles to St. Louis, Kroenke joined the Rosenbloom family as a minority owner, later increasing his stake to 40 percent in 1997. In a surprise move on April 12, 2010, Kroenke exercised his right of first refusal to purchase the team, in effect matching the reported $750 million bid that had been made by Urbana, Ill.-based auto-parts manufacturer Shahid Kahn. The NFL officially approved Kroenke as the Rams' new owner on Aug. 25. But before that happened, Kroenke had to abide by the NFL cross-ownership rules and agree to turn over control of the NBA's Denver Nuggets and NHL's Colorado Avalanche, both of which he owned, to his 30-year-old son, Josh, by the end of the year. He also had to agree to give up his majority stake in those teams by December 2014. Kroenke also owns the Major League Soccer and National Lacrosse League franchises in Colorado and is the largest shareholder in Arsenal of the English Premier League (soccer). Kroenke serves as chairman and owner of a private real-estate investment and development company.	York just finished his second year as the Niners' president and chief executive officer. The oldest child of Denise and John York, the co-chairmen of the team, Jed's major task has been to spearhead plans for a new state-of-the-art stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. His first act as president was the hiring of Mike Singletary — a move that didn't turn out too well. But York appears to have made amends with the extremely popular hiring of Jim Harbaugh, who most recently excelled as the head coach at Stanford. York's uncle and godfather, former Niners owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr., has long served as his mentor. Jed began his career as a financial analyst at Guggenheim Partners, a diversified financial-services firm.	Allen, who among other business ventures co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates in 1976, is one of the wealthiest people in the world with a personal net worth of an estimated $12.7 billion as of 2010. Allen also owns the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers and is part owner of the MLS' Seattle Sounders FC franchise. Allen is the founder and chairman of Vulcan Inc., which manages his business and philanthropic efforts. A Seattle native with a lifelong passion for football, Allen purchased the Seahawks in 1997 when former owner Ken Behring threatened to move the Seahawks to Southern California. Allen played a major role in the development of the Seahawks' stadium, Qwest Field, which is widely considered the best venue in the NFL with its well-documented rabid fan base. The relatively new representative for the Seahawks at league meetings is president Peter McLoughlin, who was hired in September. McLoughlin reports directly to Allen and is in charge of all financial and business operations of the team.

The oldest of Wellington Mara's 11 children, John Mara had been the executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Giants until his father's death in 2005. The elder Mara was one of the more important figures in NFL ownership, having been a pioneer in the shaping of the league through its formative years in the 1950s and '60s and a proponent of revenue sharing when his club actually stood to lose money in the short term from it. John Mara became president and co-owner in '05 along with Steve Tisch, who inherited his share of the club and earned the title of team chairman when his father, Robert Tisch, also passed away the same year as Wellington Mara. Mara serves on several league committees, including the competition committee, management council executive committee and the committee on workplace diversity. He has been a pivotal figure in CBA negotiations over the past several seasons.	In 1989, Jones, who made his money in the oil business, bought the Cowboys and Texas Stadium for a reported $140 million and completely took over operations, including handling the coaching staff and roster. It paid off. The Cowboys soon became "America's Team" again and won three Super Bowls in a four-year stretch in the mid-1990s. Although the team went 13 years between playoff victories thereafter, Jones kept the profile of the team high and helped build the new Cowboys Stadium, which — other than its problems on Super Bowl Sunday — has been hailed as one of the more impressive new NFL facilities erected. He's among the more active owners, leaguewide, having served on several important NFL committees over the years. Jones currently is the Cowboys' owner, president and general manager — one of only three NFL owners with GM-caliber powers, along with Oakland's Al Davis and Cincinnati's Mike Brown — although he's teaching much of the business operations to his son, Stephen.	After forming a film company in 1985, Lurie bought the Eagles in 1994 from Norman Braman for $195 million. The team had made the playoffs only 14 times in the previous 62 seasons, but since Lurie bought the club, it has made the postseason 11 out of his 16 years. He also has led the club to terrific financial growth, with its value now in excess of $1 billion. Lurie has served as chairman of the NFL's Los Angeles stadium working group committee, as well as serving on the league's finance, broadcast, international and Super Bowl committees. He's assisted ably by president Joe Banner and chief operating officer Don Smolenski on business matters.	Josh Harris groiup also includes Mitchell Rales and Magic Johnson. Est. 6.05 Billon dollar sale Josh is the Managing Partner of the Washington Commanders and the Founder and Managing General Partner of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE).
