The Washington Commanders this season opened the first in-stadium NFL sportsbook at FedEx Field, with more teams expected to follow, and the league is hoping to push a message of responsible gambling with the new stadium addition.
The Fanatics Sportsbook is a 5,000-square-foot betting facility with eight betting windows and 21 self-service betting kiosks. A lounge area features two giant LED screens and 38 high-definition televisions to watch the day's games.
The Fanatics Sportsbook at FedExField will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. - 11 p.m. ET. Patrons can access the sportsbook from its own entrance located at Gate H. Guests should park in lot Purple H at Garrett Morgan Boulevard and FedEx Way. Patrons must be 21 to enter.
The Commanders' sportsbook comes after NFL owners voted back in March to allow in-stadium betting.
