The Arizona Cardinals announced they are going to put a retail sportsbook in State Farm stadium.
Cardinals become first NFL team to announce plans for retail sportsbook at stadium
General overall view of State Farm Stadium.
Sportsbook operator BetMGM announced a partnership Monday with the Arizona Cardinals and Gila River Hotels & Casinos that will give the company access to the state's online sports betting market, according to ESPN's David Purdum.
The partnership includes building a retail sportsbook at State Farm Stadium, home of the Cardinals. The Cards are the first NFL team to announce plans to add a retail sportsbook at their stadium, which will open before the 2022 season.
Before the U.S. Supreme Court allowed states to decide whether to legalize sports betting, the NFL fought against betting. The league was slow to embrace betting even when states adopted laws to make it legal.
Earlier this year, the Phoenix Suns announced they would be putting a retail sportsbook in their arena in partnership with FanDuel.
In addition, Capital One Arena, home of the Washington Capitals, Wizards and Mystics, opened a retail sportsbook in 2020. Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, also has plans to build a two-story sportsbook.

Here is the video advertisement for the project.
stevek right now....
wow. the cardinals stadium will now be a dog track?
i hope betting at the game in attendance that day is strictly forbidden. for far too many obvious reasons.
Now if they can just put a strip club into the stadium they'll be good to go!
I remember arguing with him about this, I didn’t think we would see it but he was right. 🤷♂️
I remember him saying that as well, that's one subject that could get him fired up, sports and gambling!
The subject of marijuana also got Steve fired up, if I were to start a thread about sports betting and marijuana together, he would come back here and start kicking a.. all over the place!
Throw in diet related stuff and it would be an epic scene 😂😂😂
Oh god, it would be an all out war zone! 😂😂😂
Let’s not even talk about Space travel being part of the banter 😱
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Atomic bomb!
I'd love to see Steve back also, but I will be seeing that proposed thread of yours in my nightmares from now on.
.........
This is a perfect example of a time when I want to react in more than one way to a comment. Why can't I agree and LOL? 🤔 I can't just agree, because I won't be also having those nightmares. And just LOL'ing might imply that I don't want @stevek back (which I do!). I guess these are the conundrums of Sports Talk.
............
Edited to add. I know what to do , I'll just give it a like. 😬🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We can go to the moon but can't agree and LOL at the same time. Technology is truly a conundrum.
I think the timeouts are at a solid settling point. Todd, can we do something??
Not sure I understand what you mean?
Can the Cardinals management really be this stupid? You might as well put the bookmakers in the locker room with a satchel full of cash.
this was exactly what i was referring to…weve all seen the opening scene of the last boy scout, right?
