The Washington Commanders became the first NFL team to ever open a retail sportsbook inside their home stadium, partnering with Fanatics in the process.
This makes Fanatics Betting and Gaming the first business to operate such a location, and is something Commanders team president Jason Wright says has been on the to-do list since he was first hired by the organization.
“When our journey began over two years ago, we knew we had to reinvigorate the guest experience at FedEx Field and open the campus to the community,” Wright said via press release. “Today is a special moment in realizing that vision as we open this innovative sportsbook, operating seven days a week for sports fans throughout the community.”
