Kroenke Group and THF Realty Founder

Los Angeles, California

Stan Kroenke’s sports empire includes the LA Rams, the famous English Premier League soccer team Arsenal and the Denver Nuggets. He also controls a 30M SF real estate portfolio that includes shopping plazas near multitudes of Walmart locations. (He is married to Wal-Mart Stores Inc. founder Sam Walton’s niece Ann).

In 2017, a one-year delay was announced for the opening of the massive new NFL stadium in a 300-acre “entertainment district” in Inglewood, California. Rain during crucial construction days was cited as a reason for the delay. The facility, paid for in part by a $1B construction loan Kroenke secured from JP Morgan, is now set to open for the 2020 NFL season as home to the Rams and the Chargers. — Scott Klocksin
