Mike Dickens is showing off a pristine 17,000-square foot, two-story building that recently sprang up in the parking lot of State Farm Stadium.

There’s the lawn area right outside where fans tailgate. And you can see not far away where Fox is setting up to hold its Super Bowl LVII pregame show for Sunday. About 500 or so yards to the east is State Farm Stadium, decorated to host the Super Bowl.

The building Dickens is giving a tour of is a BetMGM sportsbook, and he’s the manager of it. It’s the first sportsbook at an NFL stadium.

On Super Bowl Sunday it should be packed in the BetMGM sportsbook, which is walking distance from the game itself.
