He shared ownership with his brother, Stormy, until 1972.
Bidwill is the 19th member of the Ring of Honor, joining his father and fellow late team owner, Charles. Their names are right next to each other.
Today Bill Bidwill enters the @AZCardinals ring of honor. Congrats to the entire family on this amazing honor.
When I got to AZ, Mr. Bidwill taught me the importance of putting the community first. He was a champion for the underserved & helped impart those same values on me. pic.twitter.com/Te9DsHKmbb

The newest inductee moved the Cardinals from St. Louis to the Valley in 1988 and opened the stadium in Glendale in 2006.
His son, Michael currently owns the franchise.
Bidwill is the first enshrinement since Carson Palmer was inducted in September 2019.
