They may not be happy but it is going to happen.  It was fought for when the passed the law that all three sports stadiums in the state would be allowed to get a sports gambling license.  I doubt they allow and kind of other gambling at the stadiums but a sportsbook of some kind will be at both Camden Yards and M&T. 

Couldn’t they just arrange for the Horseshoe folks to have some role in running the stadium gambling operations?   Could be a financial win/win scenario for the MSA and the casino.   Not that I particularly like the idea of gambling in the stadium.

My mother would tell me stories about how my grandfather would take her to the minor league Orioles games in the '40s and the old men would sit up in the stands making nickle bets on every pitch, whether the batter would spit between pitchers and every other thing you could think of.  Talk about in game betting.

One of the things in the article was some premium seating being added.   The intent ,I am assuming is to remove the first 3 to 5 rows of seats between the bases and put in those big  recliner type seats you see in Yankee Stadium and Nationals park where they can charge 250.00 dollars a game for an all inclusive experience 

 

will someone remind them this is Baltimore
