LAFC has been building toward MLS title shot since franchise launched
LOS ANGELES — The people. The energy. The city. The winning.
Whether or not anyone else celebrating in the premium area on the ground floor of the stadium in South Los Angeles identified with LAFC’s 80-year-old executive chairman, who is among the 29 members of the club’s expansive ownership group, had nothing to do with their nonexistent financial stake. The jubilant scene in this commingling space, which has become arguably the most diverse location in the city on matchdays, is perhaps the purest example of what LAFC wants to represent.
Larry Berg, LAFC’s managing owner and a senior partner at the private equity firm Apollo Global Management, understands why Guber, whom he called a mentor, or anyone else could fall for the Black & Gold. “It’s turned into a complete affiliation to a team by a city that has seen the team start from ground zero in a place that maybe wasn’t even safe,” Guber said as he looked out onto the packed Field Club last weekend. “It wasn’t dangerous but it was run down. The whole area has picked up. The people are protective of our building and all the venues. It’s really amazing. It’s a real community effort.
Six years after breaking ground in Exposition Park on the former site of the dilapidated L.A. Memorial Sports Arena, visions of what might be have increasingly become instances of what is. “He was on the more expensive side,” Berg said of Bouanga, who was a favorite of soccer operations chief John Thorrington leading up to the signing.
