letting Ohtani walk out the door was absolutely criminal...they could have set themselves up for a rebuild with the haul they likely would have received...but I may need to get back on the MLB train...

So Stan now owns teams in the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and MLS. Not to mention top soccer team in the UK. He's built one helluva empire.

Gosh I’m SO Jacked !! Talk about it!!

—Full Freaking Circle. The reason I knew The RAMS were coming to LA was basically.

Stan had an offer for like almost $2 BILLION for the Dodgers. I think he wanted the Stadium & property!!

Best SPORTS OWNER , can I say EVER ??? We can debate it.

For Old RAMS FANS (LA) there was a divide when they moved to Anaheim.Then Stan took The RAMS to St.Louis & that luxury TAX seating thing ??

As an Angels Fan ! I can say I like being able to go to The Angels Games the way I have these past few Years.

Then again STAN KRONKE is about
WINNING & the Angel Team has a NICE CORE !! Young Pitching !!

503 probably doesn’t get my excitement,but I’m sure some do.

You. A probably get to SOFI faster from ANAHIEM. Disneyland adds Family Value. Hopefully he changes the name to Los Angeles.

It’s a STRIKE YEAR & PAYING Players like LES SNEAD said about THE RAMS BUDGET!!

STAN KRONKE blew past The Budget to WIN a SUPERBOWL!!
then he buys the Angels at a record cost!! I bet he buys The Stadium as well ?? Then again who knows what he is thinking ????

Wondering how he markets between The Rams & The Angels!!
Lmao - can’t see them playing at SOFI

I've always wondered if Kroenke did that in part to devalue the team so it would be cheaper for him to buy the needed majority shares through his right of first refusal option to buy the remaining shares.
Always with the thought that he would bring them back to LA and increase their value. If that was the long-term plan, it worked out pretty damn well.

I'd be real upset if that was "the plan". I, as many others, were devastated when the Rams left So Cal. My kids grew up the whole time they were in St. Louis, so I couldn't take them to any games, although I did take them when they played at San Diego every blue moon.

Same here. I had season tickets at Anaheim and took my girls there. They were really stoked when I took them and my grandson down to the Murph.

So long as Kroenke doesn't keep John Mozeliak (as a Cardinals fan, I respect his early years, but otherwise? He sucked donkey nuts on everything from trades, to free agent signings, to the direction of the team) on as GM, the Angels might actually have a chance to win the AL West and be perennial contenders.

Wow man, you have a really beautiful family.
As far as Kroenke is concerned, you have to remember, to a businessman like him;
It's just business.
When you have that mindset, they really can't help themselves.

There’s no way he did that,but it was pretty dirty the way they did St.Louis in a way ? What I know is if St. Louis would’ve put the Water Front Stadium in there proposal earlier,LA wouldn’t have happened.
Once the Dome contract was over with any attempt to upgrade was why he even thought of Alternative plans.
Stan got lucky to move & Spano’s is a JOKE of an Owner.San Diego had some nice plans for the Chargers,plus if he had signed A. Gates he wins a Superbowl.
That will always be my story.
