Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke is gearing up to launch his latest project in the form of a new stadium for his MLS team the Colorado Rapids.
The Missouri-born billionaire businessman's empire includes some ten teams in all across a plethora of sports which includes Denver Nuggets of the NBA, NFL giants Los Angeles Rams and two e-sports outfits. The 75-year-old has had a year to remember in many ways, with the Nuggets winning their first NBA championship to make him the first owner to oversee three major North American sports title triumphs.
This followed the title wins for the Rams in the NFL, the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche and the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League over the previous 18 months. Success in football has been more elusive for the American, however, with Arsenal having fallen just short of landing a first Premier League since 2004.
