Stan Kroenke is a real estate mogul, married to a Wal-Mart heir. In fact, Matthew Boyle, in Business Week, September 20, 2008, in an article titled Stan Kroenke: The Sports Mogul You Never Heard of, notes Kroenke to be in the Top 100 most influential people in the business of sports. Seemingly not satisfied with his multiple sports interests in the US, Kroenke wants to join a number of other American owners of Premier League teams.

  • Has a 40% stake in the St Louis Rams of the National Football League (NFL)

Support from Don Garber MLS Commissioner

Colorado Rapids Stadium, also owned by Kroenke, offers 24 youth fields to support the young players in the community. MLS Commissioner, Don Garber, was has gone on record backing Kroenke Arsenal takeover bid, said of Kroenke, "It's part of his understanding of the vertical nature of soccer from youth up to professionals but also shows his deep commitment to the sport." Garber went on to say that Kroenke's vision and philosophy gel with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger who also believes in the youth development approach.
