I think Kroenke will sell the team w/in 5-7 years.

Forbes magazine just reported that the Rams are the 6th most valuable franchise in the NFL (estimated at $3. Prior to the move to Los Angeles, the Rams were among the least valuable teams.

And that's three years before Stanadu is scheduled to open. Once it does, I would presume that the value of the franchise will increase further... but there will ultimately be a peak. At that point, I would not be at all surprised to see Stan Kroenke sell the Rams.

I say this because I don't think that Kroenke is like Jerry Jones or Robert Kraft. He doesn't appear to love his team like they do. He doesn't appear to be someone who builds his public persona around his team.

My impression is that, for Kroenke, its a business.

If I'm correct, than it would stand to reason that Kroenke would treat the team like any other investment. You buy it when its price is low, you invest in it to maximize its value, and you sell it when it appear to have reached it peak.

If I'm right, I hope the next owner is someone who has Jones' passion and Kraft's ability to avoid meddling.

I wouldn't miss Kroenke and, perhaps more importantly, I don't think Kroenke would miss the Rams.
