Filed under: Rams, NFC West
It took the better part of the 2010 calendar year, but the
St. Louis Rams' ownership question is finally settled.
Stan Kroenke, the
Rams' minority owner who also owns the
NHL's
Colorado Avalanche and the
NBA's
Denver Nuggets, was approved by a full and unanimous vote of the
NFL owners.
Kroenke already owned 40 percent of the team; now he's buying the remaining 60 percent of the shares from Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez, the children of deceased former owner Georgia Frontiere. The sale was forced by estate tax issues.
"We are delighted with today's vote by NFL owners,'' Kroenke said in a statement released by the Rams. "It is one of the very high points of our long association with the NFL. We look forward to working with our fellow owners and Commissioner (Roger) Goodell as the transaction is finalized and in the years ahead.
