Here’s why this is the ideal time for Houston to reboot the Astrodome

HOUSTON, Texas — The Chicago Cubs are the first Major League Baseball team to acknowledge, embrace – and will host – sports betting at its stadium. Once approved by Illinois legislators, the sportsbook at the iconic Wrigley Field will be operated by DraftKings.

Capital One Arena in Washington D.C., home to the Washington Wizards basketball team and Washington Capitals hockey team, already is clearing space for a sports gambling room.

Wouldn’t it be something if Texas allowed a sports gambling room at Minute Maid Park or Toyota Center or NRG Stadium? Or the Astrodome!
