Arte Moreno gets his share of criticism, but so do Jeanie Buss and the guy who controls the volume of the Dodger Stadium speakers.
Readers had plenty to say about some L.A. area team owners when SCNG columnist Jim Alexander asked for their opinions. Angels owner Arte Moreno, right, remains a polarizing figure, but fans have things to say about the Dodger Stadium experience under Mark Walter, bottom left, the Lakers’ never-ending coaching changes under Jeanie Buss, middle left, and praise for the way the Rams are being run under Stan Kroenke, top left.
And excessive stadium noise – which has become pervasive at all levels of sports, though it seems more incessant and more grating at Dodger Stadium – was also mentioned multiple times. The consensus? Keller defended Joe Maddon, who was fired early in the 2022 season. So did Blake Kidd, who made this observation: “Just love Arte telling us he wanted this year’s to have experience. Didn’t Joe Maddon have experience? Until Arte sells the team and we get rid of Kuhl and Carpino, nothing will change.”
Quint did have kudos for the Rams and owner Stan Kroenke. He’s one of many in this market who turned their backs when Georgia Frontiere moved the team to St. Louis in 1995 but returned to the fold when the Rams returned in 2016. “I am proud to be a Rams fan, not for just the play on the field, but for our team is run day to day,” he wrote.
“LeBron James should stay out making decisions about players. Maybe he should retire instead of talking about playing with his son Bronny. James was a great player. One of the greatest. His time has come and gone. They will never win a championship as long as he is on the team.” Mike Reuben of Anaheim Hills wrote that the speakers “are so damn loud that I had to give up my Ducks tickets, and even the Angels seats are exposed to excessive noise.”
