WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BetMGM and the
Washington Nationals announced today the opening of the first
retail sportsbook connected to a Major League Baseball stadium. The
BetMGM Sportsbook at Nationals Park is open year-round, providing
sports fans an innovative entertainment destination to watch and
wager on games.
"We're constantly pushing the boundaries to deliver sports fans
unique experiences, and that's just what we've done with the new
BetMGM Sportsbook at Nationals Park," said Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM. "Whether fans
are attending baseball games or looking for a place to watch any
sporting event, the BetMGM Sportsbook at Nationals Park is bound to
be one of the most engaging sports viewing environments in the
District."
Publicly accessible from N Street SE next to Center Field Gate,
the new sportsbook features 40 big-screen TVs with live odds boards
that update as the action progresses. Visitors can place wagers
directly with cashiers at six betting windows or utilize
user-friendly betting kiosks. Additionally, the BetMGM Sportsbook
offers full-service beverage and dining options.
Alan Gottlieb, Chief Operating
Officer of Lerner Sports, said, "The BetMGM Sportsbook at Nationals
Park represents the newest way in which we are providing our fans
with the best experiences in sports and entertainment. Upon its
opening, the sportsbook immediately becomes one of the
neighborhood's premier venues for both the savvy bettor and casual
fan to watch the top events in an upscale and electric
atmosphere."
The retail sportsbook complements the BetMGM app that launched
in Washington, D.C. in
June 2021, allowing users to place
mobile wagers within a two-block radius of Nationals Park. Today's
news is the latest phase of BetMGM's multi-year, exclusive
partnership with the Washington Nationals.
Greenblatt continued, "The D.C.-Maryland-Virginia region is a great look into how we're
seeking to expand the BetMGM platform with a variety of unique
experiences for our customers. They can utilize the BetMGM
mobile app anywhere in Virginia,
can visit the newly opened retail sportsbook at MGM National Harbor
in Maryland, and now in D.C., they
can access the first sportsbook connected to a Major League
Baseball stadium. We've established great partnerships that allow
us to bring these one-of-a-kind touchpoints to the DMV."
The newly created sportsbook will be located in the space
previously known as Center Field Social, across Center Field Plaza
from the Nationals Team Store. It will not be accessible by fans
while they are in attendance at a Nationals game, but fans will be
able to place bets via BetMGM's mobile app.
