      Inside Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke’s £500m ranch, which is largest in USA and bigger than New York and LA combined

      by

      ARSENAL and Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke is worth an incredible £8.7BILLION and has a property portfolio to match.The American sports tycoon and his Walmart heiress wife purchased the United States’ largest ranch in 2016 and it’s so big you could fit the entire cities of New York and Los Angeles inside its borders.
      The W.T Waggoner Ranch is the largest in the USA
      The estate in Texas stretches over a staggering 535,000 acres
      Kroenke paid £500m for the land in 2016
      New York City AND Los Angeles would both fit inside its borders
      At a whopping 535,000 acres, the W.T Waggoner Ranch in Texas was bought by Kroenke and his wife Ann Walton for a cool £500million.
      The ranch includes thousands of cattle, hundreds of horses and oil wells, and 30,000 acres of farmland.
      The 74-year-old billionaire’s company Kroenke Sports and Entertainment owns Arsenal and cut 55 jobs during the pandemic due to financial issues at Emirates Stadium.
      He also owns Super bowl-bound NFL side LA Rams, NBA team Denver Nuggets, NHL franchise Colorado Avalanche and MLS side Colorado Rapids.
      And he has invested billions of dollars into the construction of the 70,000 seat SoFI Stadium in Inglewood, California.
      When he secured the ranch in 2016, Kroenke said: “This is an incredible opportunity and an even greater responsibility.

      Kroenke said he was honoured to protect the American landmark when he bought the ranch in 2016. “We are honoured to assume ownership of the Waggoner – a true Texas and American landmark – and are deeply committed to continuing the proud legacy of W.T. “Tom” Waggoner, his family and his descendants.
      “Our gratitude to them and to the many parties involved in this process is immense. We will continue to preserve and protect this uniquely American treasure.”
      Kroenke is a fairly unpopular figure at Arsenal and in 2019 Gunners fans issued a joint statement calling on him to reinvigorate the club.
      The statement said supporters had “never felt more marginalised”. The club then sacked Unai Emery and hired Mikel Arteta.
      Kroenke is married to Ann, whose father Bud was an early partner in Walmart, which was founded by his brother Sam.
      In 2012, Kroenke bought another historic property, the 124,000-acre Broken O Ranch in Montana.
      He also owns ranches in Wyoming, Arizona and British Columbia.
      New York City could fit inside the ranch’s border
      And Los Angeles could still fit alongside NYC within the boundaries
      The ranch comes with 30,000 acres of farmland
      Agricultural machinery is seen across the gigantic swathes of land
      Oil wells are also dotted across the property in Northern Texas
      Picturesque stone outhouses also feature on the land
      Kroenke’s estate stretches as far as the eye can see More

      Stan Kroenke riles Arsenal supporters as he praises LA Rams’ ‘great fans’ after Super Bowl win in new £4BILLION stadium

      by

      UNPOPULAR Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke toasted Los Angeles’ “great fans” after completing his Hollywood dream.The Gunners chief hoisted the NFL’s greatest prize aloft in his £4BILLION SoFi stadium following a dramatic Super Bowl on Sunday night.

      Kroenke’s Rams took down the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 thanks to a late touchdown from wide receiver and game MVP Cooper Kupp.
      Unlike in North London, 74-year-old mogul Kroenke is loved on America’s West Coast after bringing football back to the City of Angels in 2016.
      Following the presentation of the Vince Lombardi trophy, beaming billionaire Kroenke, 74, said: “I’m really proud of this group, all the guys, I’m so happy for them.
      “These players are unbelievable and they just hung in there. It was a tough game and I’m so proud of them executing it like they did.
      “As far as building this stadium — it’s turned out all right. Thanks to the great fans of Los Angeles — their first Super Bowl trophy in Rams house.”
      But his joy was not met with too much support from Gunners fans who want him to show similar affection for their Premier League club.

      Jordan Hickson wrote on Twitter: “Now @RamsNFL have won the #SuperBowl can Kroenke now majorly invest in Arsenal so we can win the Prem again.”
      This train of thought was echoed by Larry Kwirirayi, who posted: “Now that Kroenke has won the #SuperBowl, can he use the same formula to build an @arsenal team to win the league and champions league?”
      And another Gooner wrote: “Great now Stan Kroenke can invest his money into the Arsenal for God’s sakes.”
      Darius Lovehall hopes that Kroenke ‘has something up his sleeve’ when it comes to Arsenal, and Cameron Ahmad wants the American to ‘give funds in the summer to win the Champions League’.
      Steve Nicoll added: “He runs Arsenal like a corner shop – as long as it’s making enough money to tick over then no change needed as far as he’s concerned.
      “Nothing will change until we have a new owner.”
      Los Angeles had been without a team since 1995 when the Rams left for St Louis before Kroenke hatched a plan to move them back.
      In 2014 he bought a 60-acre plot in Inglewood in south-west LA to build a new home for his team and the Chargers, who moved up the road from San Diego in 2017.
      CALIFORNIA DREAMING
      Sean McVay — who became the youngest head coach in modern NFL history when Kroenke hired him in 2017 aged just 30 — was the next piece of the jigsaw.
      Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was 37 when he took over in December 2019.
      But while fed-up Gooners have protested about their team’s lack of big-name signings and fruitless transfer windows, the Rams went all in and built a star-studded ‘win now’ team in a bid to land the Super Bowl on home soil.
      Kroenke traded away his future first-round draft picks for established veterans and somehow stayed under the league’s £135m salary cap.
      Stars such as quarterback Matthew Stafford, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr, cornerback Jalen Ramsey and outside linebacker Von Miller joined an already talented team.
      Stafford, 34, who moved to the Rams from Detroit Lions in March last year, threw three touchdowns on Sunday.
      And LA’s fearsome defensive line sacked Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow seven times to equal Pittsburgh Steelers’ 46-year-old Super Bowl record.
      Kroenke followed in the footsteps of Manchester United chiefs the Glazers — who are also despised by their club’s fans — with his SoFi Stadium success.

      The Red Devils owners saw their Tampa Bay Buccaneers win the Super Bowl on home soil last season, the first team to do so.
      Legendary quarterback Tom Brady moved to Tampa Bay in 2020 after 20 glittering years in New England, where he won six Super Bowls.

      Tottenham lining up stunning bid to host 2026 SUPER BOWL in £1bn stadium in first-ever NFL showpiece on foreign soil

      by

      TOTTENHAM are reportedly preparing a stunning bid to host the 2026 Super Bowl at their new £1billion stadium.It would be the first time ever the NFL showpiece is staged on foreign soil.

      As first revealed by SunSport back in 2019, the North Londoners are lining up their offer should the grand finale be taken overseas.
      Spurs already have a ten-year contract in place to stage two matches per season at their new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
      However, as reported by the Daily Mail, they may face hurdles hosting the 2026 Super Bowl due to the time difference.
      It would need to be a very late kick-off in London to hit the prime US viewing slot, with more than 100million usually watching the biggest event of the year.
      That could cause problems with Haringey Council – but an earlier time may put off advertisers if viewing figures will drop.
      Therefore Sydney could be a more suitable option – with an afternoon start Down Under meaning an evening slot in the USA.

      Hosting the Super Bowl is said to generate £300m for the city according to the NFL – although that does not factor in the high costs of staging such a huge event.
      It could also provide a major boost in Tottenham’s search to find a naming-rights holder for the stadium.
      Chairman Daniel Levy has had plenty of offers but is said to be holding out for a deal worth £400m offer across 20 years.
      The American football league chooses the venue for the match after an Olympic-style bidding process, based on meeting various criteria rather than a financial offer.
      This Sunday’s showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals is taking place at the SoFi Stadium in California.
      The subsequent Super Bowls will be in Arizona, Las Vegas and then New Orleans with one more in the USA before the possible overseas venture.
      Spurs will stage another two matches this coming autumn while the Jacksonville Jaguars have one ‘home’ match at Wembley.
      Germany are going to start hosting one fixture per season from 2022, alternating between Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena and Frankfurt.
      And there will also be one match played in Mexico next season, too. More

      Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke’s amazing £500m ranch is largest in USA and bigger than New York and LA combined

      by

      ARSENAL and Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke is worth an incredible £8.2BILLION and has a property portfolio to match.The American sports tycoon and his Walmart heiress wife purchased the United States’ largest ranch in 2016 and it’s so big you could fit the entire cities of New York and Los Angeles inside its borders.
      The W.T Waggoner Ranch is the largest in the USA
      The estate in Texas stretches over a staggering 535,000 acres
      Kroenke paid £500m for the land in 2016
      New York City AND Los Angeles would both fit inside its borders
      At a whopping 535,000 acres, the W.T Waggoner Ranch in Texas was bought by Kroenke and his wife Ann Walton for a cool £500million.
      The ranch includes thousands of cattle, hundreds of horses and oil wells, and 30,000 acres of farmland.
      The 74-year-old billionaire’s company Kroenke Sports and Entertainment owns Arsenal and cut 55 jobs during the pandemic due to financial issues at Emirates Stadium.
      He also owns Super bowl-bound NFL side LA Rams, NBA team Denver Nuggets, NHL franchise Colorado Avalanche and MLS side Colorado Rapids.
      And he has invested billions of dollars into the construction of the 70,000 seat SoFI Stadium in Inglewood, California, which will host the showpiece event on Sunday night.
      When he secured the ranch in 2016, Kroenke said: “This is an incredible opportunity and an even greater responsibility.

      Kroenke said he was honoured to protect the American landmark when he bought the ranch in 2016. “We are honoured to assume ownership of the Waggoner – a true Texas and American landmark – and are deeply committed to continuing the proud legacy of W.T. “Tom” Waggoner, his family and his descendants.
      “Our gratitude to them and to the many parties involved in this process is immense. We will continue to preserve and protect this uniquely American treasure.”
      Kroenke is a fairly unpopular figure at Arsenal and in 2019 Gunners fans issued a joint statement calling on him to reinvigorate the club.
      The statement said supporters had “never felt more marginalised”. The club then sacked Unai Emery and hired Mikel Arteta.
      Kroenke is married to Ann, whose father Bud was an early partner in Walmart, which was founded by his brother Sam.
      In 2012, Kroenke bought another historic property, the 124,000-acre Broken O Ranch in Montana.
      He also owns ranches in Wyoming, Arizona and British Columbia.
      New York City could fit inside the ranch’s border
      And Los Angeles could still fit alongside NYC within the boundaries
      The ranch comes with 30,000 acres of farmland
      Agricultural machinery is seen across the gigantic swathes of land
      Oil wells are also dotted across the property in Northern Texas
      Picturesque stone outhouses also feature on the land

      Inside Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke’s luxury £20m Malibu beach home that was set to be Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed’s pad

      by

      WITH a net worth of around £8.2billion, Stan Kroenke is literally laughing all the way to the bank.The Arsenal and Los Angeles Rams owner collects properties like he’s playing a game of Monopoly, once splashing £500million on a ranch in Texas that’s so big it could fit New York and Los Angeles inside it.

      ‘Silent Stan’ also owns properties in Colorado and Montana, as well as an £11m penthouse inside the five-star Montage hotel in Beverly Hills.
      But his most high-profile purchase came in 1998, when the 74-year-old splashed around £8m on this incredible home in Malibu.
      The beach side property was originally owned by Dodi Fayed, and was set to be home for the movie producer and Princess Diana before their tragic deaths in a car accident.
      WHAT £20M GETS YOU
      Found on the Pacific Coast Highway, the property sits above the beautiful Paradise Cove.
      While the vast five-acre piece of land it sits on stretches from the road all the way through to the sand and sea.
      The home, also previously owned by Julie Andrews, includes a contemporary mansion, as well as a Mediterranean-style residence which acts as a guest home.
      The main house features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, has a stunning swimming pool and boasts a tennis court.
      There are three reception rooms, while the kitchen opens into a pool deck, and the living room has a limestone fireplace and pine beams.
      An incredible glass domed dining room with views on all sides can also be found on the ground floor.

      Upstairs, the master bedroom suite has a beamed ceiling, its own sitting room, two bathrooms, and there’s plenty of closet space.
      High-profile neighbours include Friends actress Courteney Cox, U2 guitarist The Edge, former supermodel Cindy Crawford and pop star Lady Gaga.FIT FOR A PRINCESS
      Before Kroenke bought the compound, Princess Diana had her heart set on living there.
      Dodi, the son of the former Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed, bought the home for around £7m – just months before he and Lady Di were tragically killed in Paris.

      ARSENAL owner Stan Kroenke finally has his hands on some silverware after his LA Rams beat the San Francisco 49ers to reach Super Bowl LVI.The Rams chief celebrated after watching his side stage a fourth-quarter comeback to claim a 20-17 win over the 49ers at SoFi Stadium.

      The victory saw the Rams crowned NFC Champions as they booked their spot in February’s Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals.
      And Kroenke – who controls both the Gunners and Rams through his KSE group – beamed with delight as he hoisted the George Halas Trophy aloft.
      The joke wasn’t lost on Arsenal fans, who might have seen their side lift the FA Cup in 2020 but haven’t claimed a Premier League trophy since 2003/4.
      User LazCab wrote on Twitter: “Congratulations to Stan #Kroenke on winning yet another trophy with a team that’s not #Arsenal”
      Ben Hubbard wrote: “Arsenal fans shaking heads seeing Stan Kroenke accept the NFC trophy on behalf of his LA Rams.”
      Josh Kail quipped: “Kroenke holding a trophy has to feel like living in the upside down for Arsenal fans.”
