The NFL's recent decision to allow private equity firms to invest marks a significant change in ownership dynamics, shifting from being the last major league resisting institutional investments.
With the new rule, private equity firms can own up to 10% of a team, but they must maintain their stake for at least six years, emphasizing long-term commitment.
Approved investors include firms like Blackstone and Ares Management, highlighting the NFL's careful selection process for potential partners, underscoring the importance of credibility and stability.
Ares Management expressed excitement about the investment opportunity, noting the NFL's strong fanbase and its leading position in the global sports market, promising support for franchise growth.
