Stan Kroenke: Kroenke Sports Enterprises
built 176 days ago
Kroenke is a known and powerful sports mogul. As the head and owner of Kroenke Sports Enterprise, he has been co-owner of the National Football League's St. Louis Rams since their relocation to Missouri in 1995. In 2000, he became full owner of both the National Basketball Association's Denver Nuggets and the National Hockey League's Colorado Avalanche, purchasing the team from Charlie Lyons' Ascent Entertainment Group. In 2002, he partnered with football legend John Elway and Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen to become co-owner of the Arena Football League's Colorado Crush. He continued to grow his sports empire in 2004, when he purchased National Lacrosse League's Colorado Mammoth and Major League Soccer's Colorado Rapids from Phil Anschutz.
Back in Missouri... Kroenke was now seriously running the numbers on the idea of acquiring and expanding a professional sports franchise in Denver. Just five months after buying up Ascent Entertainment, Liberty Media wrapped up its negotiations with the reserved but determined investor from Missouri. Stan Kroenke had to outmaneuver a rival bidding group backed by investor George Gillett and legendary ex-Bronco John Elway, but on July 6, 2000, he had his teams, an arena and his name on a new company, Kroenke Sports Enterprises.

Managing to meet the owner of Kroenke Sports Enterprises was no simple affair. First, it meant rejiggering schedules, and second, navigating a hellishly blockaded stretch of Quebec Street north of Interstate 70, where a gauntlet of construction workers and lumbering trucks rose up as demons put forth to imperil my quest to get to the soccer stadium where Kroenke’s 10 a.m. appearance was promised.
