BobbyC81 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 It has been discussed ad nauseum on this board about the Pegulas owning both the Bills and Sabres so I found the current ownerships of Stan Kroenke interesting. On top of owning the Rams, he owns the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche. So, despite what we had heard about an NFL owner can own a team in another sport in another city as long as there is no team in his city in that league, how was he allowed to own the Avs when St Louis has the Blues? There is no NBA team in St Louis so his owning the Nuggets would be fine. Now that he's moving the Rams to Southern California, where there are 2 teams each in the LA area in the NBA, NHL & MLB, will he have to sell his shares in the Nuggets & Avs?

He doesn't hold a majority stake in either of those two teams--and he transferred the Avalanche to his wife anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I thought the takeaway from those discussions was that El Pegual was moving the team to Hamilton. Problem solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only took over the rams majority stake in 2010 at which time he transferred control of the nugs and avs to his son. He just actually transferred control of those teams to his wife while he kept the rams. I'm sure he controls the teams he just doesn't in name.

PromoTheRobot Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 That's too easy of a loophole. But how many people live in Denver compared to the inverse square of the difference in population between Los Angeles and St. Louis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 That's too easy of a loophole. That is what the Jacobs were going to do with the Bruins if they wanted the Bills. The rumor is that Jeremy didn't trust them with the Bruins and that was a big reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 That's too easy of a loophole. OMG and like Kim already basically owns the Bills so we can pretty much kiss them goodbye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
