While regulatory approval is still needed to clear the partnership, Bally’s already has plans to create a dedicated VIP lounge geared towards the club’s fans at the FirstEnergy Stadium. There will be a number of fan-focused events on-site once all regulators have cleared the lounge for launch.
The lounge will offer various engagement opportunities on game days and generally ensure a state-of-the-art experience for all sports betting fans. Commenting on this opportunity, Haslam Sports Group EVP COO Dave Jenkins said that Bally’s focus on fans is consistent with what the Cleveland Browns strive to achieve. He added:
We look forward to supporting Bally’s efforts to provide these innovative opportunities to Browns fans and all sports fans in Ohio in the near future.
