The Cubs and DraftKings announced a multi-year partnership on Thursday that will include the creation of a brand new sportsbook, possibly including betting windows at Wrigley Field.
It would be the first sportsbook at an MLB stadium. The deal, estimated to be worth a reported $100 million, will need approval from the city of Chicago. The partners would also need to land a license with the Illinois Gaming Board.
“DraftKings has been a great partner for a number of years and we are excited to expand this relationship as sports betting grows rapidly in Illinois,” president of business operations Crane Kenney said in the press release.
