After an active, ambitious and highly successful 13-year run as the Cardinals' team president, a tenure highlighted by the opening of the new Busch Stadium and the franchise's 10th World Series championship, Mark Lamping is heading to New York and New Jersey to pursue a new dream job.

Lamping has resigned from the Cardinals to become CEO of the New Meadowlands Stadium Company. Lamping will supervise all facets of a $1.4 billion stadium project that will house two NFL teams, the New York Giants and the New York Jets.

Lamping will be succeeded as president by Bill DeWitt III, the 40-year-old son of Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr.
