Dynamo sold to Mexican businessman Gabriel Brener
The Dynamo and BBVA Compass Stadium have a new owner.
Mexican businessman Gabriel Brener has acquired the controlling interest of Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo, the National Women's Soccer League's Dash and the remaining 27 years on the 30-year lease on BBVA Compass Stadium.
Brener, who initially bought 50 percent in the club along with former boxing champion Oscar De La Hoya in February 2008, acquired Phil Anschutz's Anschutz Entertainment Group's 50 percent controlling share in the Dynamo.
De La Hoya will remain a minority owner of the Dynamo as part of a new ownership group that includes Houston businessman Ben Guill and Portland businessman Jake Silverstein.
