Report: Cubs 'Have Considered' Opening Sportsbook at Wrigley Field

One of MLB's oldest stadiums might soon get a futuristic addition.

According to ESPN's David Purdum, the Chicago Cubs have considered adding a "full-blown" sportsbook to Wrigley Field:

"Betting windows, automated kiosks and even a full-blown sportsbook venue inside the stadium are among the options that have been considered by the Cubs and other Chicago professional franchises, as Illinois' new sports betting law prepares to take effect.

The Cubs declined to comment, and there are no official plans, only preliminary discussions at this point. Who would run the sportsbook and which parties would receive a cut of the action is unknown.
