the company that operates the stadium Barclays Center, Brooklyn Events Center, began lobbying for sports betting approval in New York City and state last year.
According to NetsDaily, the Nets and the stadium have long been interested in legalizing sports betting. Proof of this is that han registrado las marcas Brooklyn Gaming y Bet on Brooklyn, which would work well for inside bets.
Additionally, CEO David Levy – before he and Joe Tsai parted ways in November 2019 – laid out his vision for the game at Flatbush and Atlantic and suggested that, Once New York State and New York City approve stadium betting, Barclays could have a sportsbook near the entrance and offer mobile sports betting from stadium seats using 5G..
Desde Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park, Norman Oder, notes that Brooklyn Events Center has been putting money into it and putting pressure on both the state and the city. Both consider that legalizing sports betting would alleviate the large deficit that caused the pandemic. Earlier this week, Governor Mario Cuomo noted that sports betting could generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the state.
According to documentation, lobbyists receive $ 7,500 a month and have been working since last spring. Oder further notes that “Madison Square Garden is also putting pressure on ‘gambling’ and other issues”.
Aside from state and city entities, the Nets and New York Knicks would need NBA approval. However, while the league’s revenue has been affected by the absence of a crowd, that doesn’t seem like a big deal. In addition, the possibility of incorporating the game could attract more fans to live events.
