00:02 - Speaking of which,
00:03 we do have a completed new sports book.
00:05 Fanatics, as we've talked about,
00:07 waiting to see where they're gonna end up,
00:09 retail, online, et cetera.
00:11 They opened up a new sports book
00:12 at Progressive Field in Cleveland.
00:15 So, I think we're gonna see a lot of these in the future,
00:18 major league baseball ballparks, but a rarity for now.
00:21 - Yeah, Craig, we saw it with Wrigley Field, right?
00:25 DraftKings just opened up a sports book there.
00:26 Now Fanatics, that Progressive Field,
00:28 Paul Shue, I think made the first bet a great name,
00:30 former reliever, both you and I know, pretty neat.
00:33 And yeah, so just another avenue for fans to gather,
00:37 talk about betting, even if these retail sports books,
00:40 a lot of them aren't making tons of money,
00:42 obviously the majority of betting's online,
00:43 potentially a place for people to gather,
00:45 talk about odds, lines, whoever they like in MLB Futures,
00:49 or betting on the Guardians game that day.
00:52 So yeah, Fanatics now live to the public
00:55 in Maryland, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and Ohio.
00:57 They had been in beta testing mode
00:59 to their subscription only customers
01:01 that had bought t-shirts, hats,
01:02 and now they're open to the public.
01:04 They obviously have huge grand visions going forward,
01:08 and we'll see when they potentially open in New York,
01:11 that's one of the states that would be key for them.
01:13 Looks like that's gonna happen.
01:14 So yeah, a lot of good things happening at Fanatics,
01:16 and this sports book at Progressive Field,
01:19 just another thing for them that's really nice.
