BusinessWeek: "Investors in Antigua have reopened a stadium and cricket-themed restaurant that belonged to jailed Texas financier R. Allen Stanford.

Antiguan soccer officials say the cricket stadium will also serve as home to the Barracuda Football Club, its first professional soccer team.

Football association representative Gordon Derrick said Friday that at least 15 games are scheduled there starting in April 2011.

The Sticky Wicket restaurant overlooking the stadium also reopened with 40 employees. Many worked at the popular dining spot previously and lost their jobs because of Stanford's alleged pyramid scheme.
