BetMGM has opened the first retail sportsbook connected to a Major League Baseball (MLB) stadium as part of its exclusive partnership with the Washington Nationals.
It will be in the space previously known as Center Field Social, located across Center Field Plaza from the Nationals Team Store and will have a public access point from N Street SE next to Center Field Gate.
“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.”
Visitors can place wagers directly with cashiers at six betting windows or by utilizing betting kiosks. Those attending a Nationals game won’t have direct access to the retail sportsbook but will be able to place bets through BetMGM’s mobile app.
“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,” said Greenblatt. “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 BetMGM Sportsbook at Nationals Park represents the newest way in which we are providing our fans with the best experiences in sports and entertainment,” said Alan Gottlieb, Chief Operating Officer of Lerner Sports. “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."
