Who Owns These Rams? A Deep Dive into Rams Ownership
So, you're wondering who the big cheese is when it comes to the Los Angeles Rams, huh? Well, buckle up, because we're about to dive into the glamorous world of NFL ownership.
The Man Behind the Rams: Stan Kroenke
Let's talk about the man, the myth, the legend - Stan Kroenke. This guy isn't just a football team owner; he's a full-blown sports mogul. Think of him as the Donald Trump of sports, but hopefully with a bit less drama (we can hope, right?).
Kroenke owns a sports empire that would make even Scrooge McDuck jealous. We're talking about the Denver Nuggets (basketball), Colorado Avalanche (hockey), Colorado Rapids (soccer), and Arsenal FC (soccer). And let's not forget his crown jewel - the Los Angeles Rams. That's a lot of jerseys to wash, people!
But wait, there's more! This guy is also a real estate tycoon with a land portfolio that's practically the size of Texas. So, next time you're wondering why your rent is so high, blame Stan Kroenke (just kidding, kind of).
The Rams' Journey Home
Now, you might be wondering how a guy like Kroenke ended up owning the Rams. Well, it's a story of ambition, money, and a whole lot of football. The Rams originally started life in Cleveland before moving to Los Angeles in the 1940s. They then had a stint in St. Louis before making their triumphant return to LA in 2016, thanks to the efforts of our boy Stan.
Moving a sports team isn't exactly like moving a couch, people. It involves billions of dollars, stadium construction, and a whole lot of convincing the other team owners that it's a good idea. But hey, when you're as rich as Kroenke, convincing people is probably the easiest part of the job.
So, What Does This Mean for Rams Fans?
Well, for starters, it means you have a very wealthy owner who's probably not afraid to spend money to win. It also means you get to enjoy some pretty fancy new stadium amenities, like overpriced beer and questionable food options. But hey, at least you get to watch football, right?
