The Cardinals will play the Los Angeles Rams

2017. Arizona will be the visiting team, and the
game will be played on Sunday, October 22.
“In 2014, I attended the Raiders-Dolphins
game at Wembley Stadium and experienced first-
hand the incredible enthusiasm U.K. fans have
for the NFL,” said Cardinals President Michael
Bidwill. “I also encountered a huge number
of Cardinals fans asking when our team would
be playing there. I know this is great news for
them as well as the U.S. members of the Red Sea

After playing three games to sellout crowds in London each season since 2014, the NFL is expand-
ing to four games in 2017. As such, the league will have played 21 games in the UK since the first
regular-season game in London in 2007.
The Cardinals have a long history with the NFL’s international ties. In 1987, they became the first
franchise to draft an Australian player when they selected defensive end Colin Scotts in the third
round. Punter Ben Graham (2008-11) became the first Australian to play in a Super Bowl when the Car-
dinals played the Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII.
In addition, when Rolando Cantu played for the Cardinals in the 2005 regular season finale at Indi-
anapolis, he became the first Mexican-born player (non-kicker) to ever take the field in an NFL regular
season game. Cantu is now the team’s Manager of International Business Affairs and the analyst on
the team’s Spanish radio broadcasts.
The Cardinals participated in the first NFL regular season game held outside the United States when
they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-14 at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on October 2, 2005.
The franchise also played in the first NFL games in both Japan and the United Kingdom:
■■ August 16, 1976 vs. San Diego Chargers in Tokyo, the first NFL game played outside of North
America
■■ August 6, 1983 vs. Minnesota Vikings at London’s Wembley Stadium, the first American football
contest on British soil
Several current Cardinals boast international backgrounds:
■■ G Mike Iupati is a native of American Samoa and did not live in the United States until prior to
his freshman year of high school.
■■ DT Josh Mauro was born St. Albans, England.
■■ CB Elie Bouka from the University of Calgary is from Laval, Quebec and played for Team Quebec at
the 2010 Canada Cup as a wide receiver and punt returner and helped his team earn a silver medal.
■■ LB Alex Bazzie was born in Liberia and moved to the United States when he was five years old.

Cardinals running back David Johnson was named the team’s MVP in 2016 by the Arizona chapter of the
Pro Football Writers Association, and linebacker Kevin Minter was given the Good Guy Award.
Johnson led the NFL and established new single-season franchise records with 2,118 scrimmage yards
(1,239 rushing; 879 receiving) and 20 TDs in 2016. He also became the first player in league history to
post 100+ scrimmage yards in each of the first 15 games of a season. Minter started all 16 games for the
second consecutive season and finished second on the team with 95 tackles while adding 3.5 sacks and
nine tackles for loss.
The MVP award is named after Lloyd Herberg, who covered the Cardinals for The Arizona Republic from
1988 until his death in 1994.
The Good Guy award is named after Steve Schoenfeld, who covered the Cardinals and the NFL for The
Arizona Republic from 1988 to 2000. Schoenfeld was killed by a hit-and-run driver in 2000. The award
in his name is given to a player who is professional, accessible and insightful in dealing with reporters.

The National Football League’s Policy for Retractable
Domed Stadiums was developed by the NFL Competition
Committee.
Below is the excerpt from the 2017 Policy Manual for
Member Clubs, detailing the league’s policy for retract-
able roofs. At present, University of Phoenix Stadium,
Reliant Stadium in Houston, Lucas Oil Stadium in

with retractable roofs.

Arizona Cardinals Owner Bill Bidwill was selected
for induction to the most-recent class of the George-
town Prep Athletic Hall of Fame in May.
A 1949 graduate of the school that is located out-
side of Washington, D.C., Bidwill was a two-sport
athlete for the Little Hoyas football and baseball
teams. As a senior, he was a star fullback and kicker
on Georgetown Prep’s undefeated 1948 football squad
that won the city championship. A bruising runner as
well as the squad’s fastest player, Bidwill led the team
in scoring in both his junior and senior seasons.
After graduating from Prep, Bidwill continued on to George-
town University before joining the United States Navy. Upon
completion of his service, he began working full-time for the
Cardinals and more than half a century later he continues to
serve as the team’s chairman.
Bidwill returned to Georgetown Prep, and on May 31st, he
received his Hall of Fame medallion from school President Rev.
Scott R. Pilarz, S.J.
“William Bidwill exemplifies in exceptional ways Georgetown
Preparatory School’s highest ideals and aspirations,” said Fr.
Pilarz. “On the playing field, he proved to be a fierce and hum-
ble competitor. We celebrate his accomplishments and contribu-
tions to Georgetown Prep’s rich tradition of excellence.”

TRAINER OF THE YEAR
Cardinals assistant athletic trainer Jeff Herndon received the
Tim Davey NFC Assistant Athletic Trainer of the Year Award given
out by PFATS (Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society) at
this year’s NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
A native of Hallsville, MO, Herndon first worked with the Cardi-
nals during preseason training camp in 1984 and 1985 before join-
ing the organization full time in 1986. The 2017 season will be his
32nd with the team.
Herndon is the second Cardinals trainer to win the award, as for-
mer assistant athletic trainer Jim Shearer was the inaugural recip-
ient of the NFC honor in 2011. He was also part of the staff that
won the Ed Block Courage Award for NFL Athletic Training Staff of
the Year in 1993.
The Tim Davey Assistant Athletic Trainer Award was formed in recognition of the outstanding effort
Tim made in the field of athletic training. Tim was an employee of the New York Jets and the NFL for
33 years. He was an assistant athletic trainer for the Jets from 1969 to 1977. He stayed on with the
Jets involved with team operations from 1977 to 1991. Davey later joined the NFL in 1991 in the game
operations department. He served as the league’s coordinator of stadium operations and field mat-
ters, and was in charge of operations at AFC/NFC championship games and led Pro Bowl Operations.
The award is presented annually at the PFATS meeting at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. The recip-
ient is nominated by the membership and selected by a committee that includes past recipients. This
award is emblematic of the commitment, dedication and high level of integrity that Tim Davey brought
to the profession of athletic training and is representative of his level of service which he dedicated
to his surrounding community.

The first completely retractable field in the United States, it is positioned inside the stadium on game days to offer the preferred natural-grass playing surface for football and outside the stadium for the remaining 350+ days of the year to receive sunlight and watering. The field tray is powered by electric motors mounted on steel wheels riding on tracks embedded in the concrete floor and takes approximately 60 minutes to move completely. The flexibility of this unique design allows University of Phoenix Stadium to serve as a true multipurpose venue featuring a 160,000 square-foot event floor for other events.
