...watching all these developments closely is Bigelow, a Las Vegas icon whom many compare with the early Howard Hughes, the aircraft enthusiast who started TWA, although Bigelow, who is in his 60s, isn't as eccentric, probably. Yes, in 1995, he founded the now defunct National Institute for Discovery Science to investigate paranormal activity and alien abductions, principally because his grandparents claimed to have had a close encounter with a UFO. But in 2002 he licensed exclusive rights to NASA's canceled TransHab inflatable habitat and set to work creating his own commercial space stations and hotels. Last July Genesis...
...Indianapolis - the first NFL game my father ever took me to see was at Soldier Field - I've never been as ardent a fan of Peyton Manning's crew as my younger brother is (or my son, whom I've gladly let my Hoosier relatives turn into a Colts enthusiast).

The hard core of such groups are the "ultras" - hundreds of racism-spewing thugs who regularly provoke violence both home and away, with rival club fans and even with black and Arab supporters of PSG.
