Not so long ago, a small room with a couple of taps, a wall-mounted TV set and a display of bowling trophies constituted a sports bar.
How far we’ve come.
The new DraftKings Sportsbook at Foxwoods Resort Casino — “softly” [opened] to the public Saturday — features more than 12,000 square feet of space on two floors; a 50-by-30-foot LED monitor; an additional 300 linear feet of wall-hugging TV screens; two full bars and kitchen service on both levels; plush furniture; and two-dozen beers on tap.
And, oh yeah, you can wager on sports, either with a cashier at a betting window or at a self-service kiosk.
