Stan Kroenke began his sports franchise investments in the late 1990s, acquiring the Denver Nuggets (NBA) in 1999 and the Colorado Avalanche (NHL) in 2000. Recognizing the opportunity to consolidate his sports investments under a unified corporate structure, Kroenke founded Kroenke Sports & Entertainment in 2002 as a holding company for his sports franchises.

In 2010, Kroenke acquired the St. Louis Rams (now Los Angeles Rams) of the National Football League, significantly expanding KSE's portfolio. The Rams relocated to Los Angeles in 2016, and Kroenke invested heavily in the construction of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, which opened in 2020 as one of the most technologically advanced sports venues in the world.

Kroenke's expansion into international sports came with his acquisition of Arsenal Football Club shares beginning in 2007. He gradually increased his stake over the following years, eventually becoming the club's sole shareholder in 2018 after acquiring all remaining shares from Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov for £550 million. This acquisition marked KSE's entry into European football and the global sports market.

Under Kroenke's leadership, KSE has invested billions in facility development, player recruitment, and operational infrastructure across all franchises. The company has established itself as a leader in sports franchise management and innovation.
