Food Network celebrity, Guy Fieri, known as ‘The Mayor of Flavortown’, is set to make his impact on the sports betting scene in Arizona. The Arizona Diamondbacks and Caesars have announced that Fieri will launch a new restaurant venture this Spring at Caesars Sportsbook, located at Chase Field.
Fieri & rsquo will be the first sit-down restaurant in Arizona. This news is expected to create some extra buzz around the ballpark, especially as the future of the 2022 MLB season remains uncertain.
Guy Fieri is bringing Flavortown to the city of Phoenix.
Guy Fieri is no stranger to The Grand Canyon State. On his widely watched television series “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives,” he has visited more than 30 locations in Arizona. Additionally, in the previous year, customers in the valley began utilizing his new delivery-only restaurant chain, “Flavortown Kitchen.”
‘The Mayor of Flavortown’ is now teaming up with the Diamondbacks and Caesars. Therefore, baseball enthusiasts and sports bettors can anticipate experiencing his delectable cuisine at Chase Field.
According to D-backs President & amp, CEO Derrick Hall,” We believe this is a unique and exciting option for individuals who are driven to offer an excellent, high-service dining experience for guests and athletics fans.” & ldquo, This is your chance to get involved on the ground level of a novel, innovative, and enjoyable idea for baseball, gaming, or food at Chase Field. & rdquo,
This innovative restaurant concept will feature a comprehensive menu at Caesars Sportsbook. The 20,000 square feet, two-story building will also be anchored by this concept, complete with both indoor and outdoor seating options.
Chase Field will host Caesars Sportsbook, this flower.
In Spring 2021, Arizona’s MLB franchise and Caesars, the gambling giant, announced their partnership. The D-Backs assisted in launching Caesars’ updated online sportsbook in Arizona.
The Diamondbacks and Caesars have also revealed a partnership to establish a cutting-edge retail sportsbook at Chase Field. Digital images of the proposed venue were unveiled by the two partners last fall. The new retail sportsbook will take the place of the Game Seven Grill at the stadium.
The venue is set to feature various levels dedicated to sports betting, a fully-equipped bar, a VIP lounge, and televisions covering the entire wall space. The new retail sportsbook, however, won’t be open to fans during D-backs games. Despite this, fans can continue to place bets via the Caesars Sportsbook mobile app.
Bettors can continue to use the temporary betting windows provided by Caesars outside Chase Field. These windows, located at ticket windows 21-25, were opened on September 9, 2021, the day sports betting was officially legalized in Arizona. Notably, Chase Field was the first MLB stadium to accept in-person betting.
Whether the D-Backs play or not, Caesar’s retail casino will open.
The primary concern, however, is the uncertainty about baseball timing. As of Thursday, there was no agreement between the MLB executives and the MLB Players Association concerning a collective bargaining deal. Furthermore, there doesn’t seem to be a quick resolution to these agreements in sight.
Should the league and the MLBPA fail to establish a new collective bargaining agreement by Monday, regular-season games will start being postponed, as stated by an official league spokesperson. It’s important to note that these games will not be rescheduled, and players will not receive full-season salaries.
Despite concerns, Caesars’ financial betting is still planning to launch this spring. As mentioned earlier, this new venue will operate throughout the year. Regardless of the number of D-Backs home games in 2022, the casino will remain open for business.
