Cubs Announce $100M DraftKings Partnership, Plans for Wrigley Field Sportsbook

The Chicago Cubs and DraftKings announced a partnership Thursday that will include the construction of a sportsbook at Wrigley Field or in the Wrigleyville area.

"An increasing number of sports fans want to integrate sports betting into their game experience, and we're excited to be one of the first to engage in developing a retail sportsbook at a professional sports venue," Cubs President of Business Operations Crane Kenney said in a press release.

The partnership will net the Cubs $100 million over the course of "nearly a decade," per Darren Rovell of The Action Network.
