As the NFL season kicks off, the first retail sportsbook at a football stadium is open for Arizona sports betting.
BetMGM announced last week it opened its retail sportsbook at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, just in time for NFL betting to begin. The BetMGM outlet is the first retail sportsbook at an NFL stadium.
“The BetMGM Sportsbook at State Farm Stadium is one of the most revolutionary additions an NFL stadium has seen in decades and unlike anything fans have encountered on gamedays,” BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt said in a release. “BetMGM shares the Arizona Cardinals’ vision in pursuing new ways to break barriers and entertain fans.”
The news comes on the eve of the first anniversary of AZ sports betting, a market that has taken more than $5 billion in wagers, according to an Arizona Department of Gaming report released last week.
