Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford joined the growing group of Angel City FC’s star investment team. The NWSL club is getting ready to launch its second season Sunday against Gotham FC.
Stafford, Kelly, their wife and daughters are part of a large group that includes Angel City investors from both the entertainment and sports worlds. They include former NFL center Ryan Kalil, WNBA legend Candace Parker, and founding investor Serena Williams.
“We fell in love with attending an Angel City game last season and wanted our daughters to experience something so important and powerful first-hand,” Matthew and Kelly Stafford said in a news release.
Other Angel City investors from the sports industry include Billie Jean King and Illana Kloss, Cobi Jones, Abby Wambach, Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Lindsey Vonn, PK Subban, and Shawn Johnson East.
Angel City was the NWSL’s most attended team in its inaugural season, with an average attendance of over 19,000 people per game. This was the first year that Angel City had been able to surpass Portland in this category.
Angel City sold 16,000 season tickets by the end of the campaign, and earned a peak single-game revenue of more than $1 million.
