I gave ice hockey Stan Kronk A unique title among sports franchisees. Team NHLAnd the Colorado Avalanche he is a hero Stanley CupRecording the second league title for Arsenal owner in less than six months.
Avalanche outperforms, which has been owned by Kroenke since 2000 Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals Series and added his third championship. The Lightning were looking to become the first team since 1983 to win three consecutive Stanley Cups, but they never recovered after losing the first two games of the series and were unable to make the most of their stadium advantage at the Amalie Arena in Florida to force them to win. Break in the seventh game. The win comes after the Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl in February, defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in a game played at the new SoFi Stadium. Both teams have won their own championships before: the Rams in 2000 when he was a co-owner of St. Louis and Avalanche in 2001, shortly after he bought the franchise, but not that same year.
Both the Rams and the stadium, which was confirmed last week as the venue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, are owned by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment.
Kroenke’s sporting empire is second to none as he also owns the Colorado Rapids MLS franchise. With Arsenal he became a shareholder in May 2007 and was appointed to the Board of Directors in September 2008, making him the majority owner of the Premier League club since April 2011. In Denver, the Avalanche, the Nuggets and the recently renamed Ball own the arena, where both teams play. In Los Angeles, he owns the Rams Stadium and SoFi Stadium, which cost $5 billion to build, including the still-growing residential and commercial complexes around it.
“You can’t be under LA. Not only are you building a great NFL stadium, but also really fitting in with LA’s architectural design,” said Kevin Dimoff, the club’s longtime COO.
The three largest US-based professional franchises alone are worth $7.33 billion: rams With 4,680 million, the nuggets With 1,870 million and Avalanche At 775 million, according to an estimate by the Sportico franchise.
Plus, you have to think about his sports posts. Kroenke Sports & Entertainment is the holding company for European football clubs. Arsenal football club from the Premier League and Arsenal WFC. From the Women’s Super League, among others, including Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer, which won the MLS Cup in 2010. Kroenke is worth $10.7 billion personally, and his total sports franchises are worth $10.5 billion.
Kroenke’s decision to move the Rams family to Los Angeles from St. Louis eventually paid off, but it was costly. He paid a $550 million transfer fee to the NFL, and late last year Kroenke and the league agreed a $790 million deal with St. Louis to vacate that city. The move was great for the Rams, who netted $1.45 billion in 2014, their last season in St. Louis. Kroenke bought what was then called the Pepsi Center in Denver, which opened in 1999 at a cost of $187 million, $316 million in today’s dollars. In Los Angeles, he had this vision for a new stadium, located east of the airport, LAX.
“He has to be creative. And when people fly, that should be the first thing people know and love about our city,” Dimov said.
