Redskins owner meets with Maryland lawmakers about sports betting at future stadium

Three state lawmakers in Maryland said they’d recently met with Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder, who asked them to allow legal sports gambling at a future stadium in the state, the Washington Post reported.

Maryland has yet to legalize sports betting, whereas the District of Columbia — considered the favorite to land the Redskins‘ next stadium — has.

“They are interested in the sports betting stuff,” State Sen. Guy J. Guzzone, a Democrat, said. “It’s a long lineup of people who are interested.”

Snyder and the team continue to search for a new home for the Redskins, as their lease at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, is up after 2026.
