Stadium Authority Pushing For State Lawmakers To Make Changes To Sports Betting Bill

ANNAPOLIS (WJZ) — The Maryland Stadium Authority is pushing to give the Orioles and the Ravens a bigger piece of sports betting.

A bill in the General Assembly would allow betting at stadiums, but only on game days.

In a letter to lawmakers, the Stadium Authority is pushing to allow betting year-round. They argue this will increase foot traffic near the stadiums and Horseshoe Casino.

In addition to in-person wagers, they're also pushing for a betting app.
