Private Equity Investment in Pro Sports: Ben Horney of Front Office Sports Joins Kelley Franco

In this episode of The Three Inning Fan Show, Kelley Franco sits down with Ben Horney from Front Office Sports to break down private equity investment in MLB and other US professional sports. Listen in as Ben gives an overview of PE investment in sports, and then covers which firms are allowed to invest in MLB, the NFL, the NBA, and the NHL, whether the investors are active or passive (do they get a seat on the board? do they pick the players?), how they earn the return on their investment, and what the pros and cons of PE investment in sports are for the teams, the investors, and most importantly, the fans. Ben brings deep insight from his reporting at Front Office Sports, helping fans, insiders, and business enthusiasts understand how PE is impacting sports ownership. And of course, we cover…what’s good to eat while watching the ballgame. Don’t miss this informative episode on the business side of sports!
