Hey there, sports enthusiasts! Your boy Grant Mitchell here, a former Virginia Tech grad, ex-NCAA track and field star, and the go-to guy for the latest juice from the sports betting world. Ever since I hopped on the pro circuit in 2021, I’ve been making a killing working with the likes of Forbes, VSiN, and other industry movers. When I’m not busy crunching numbers and dishing out hot takes, you can find me pumping iron, cruising around town, or catching the biggest games of the day.
Today, I'm diving deep into some of the juiciest headlines hot off the press—the potential $8 billion Metropolitan Park project spearheaded by the notorious Steve Cohen! But the big question on everyone's mind is: Who else might be elbowing their way into the pool of casino hopefuls vying for a piece of the lucrative New York City casino pie? 🎲💸
First off, let me give you the skinny on Cohen's Citi Field project: With approximately 50 acres of prime parking lot space to work with, this ambitious undertaking has Mayor Eric Adams eagerly awaiting that final zoning approval.
But enough about Steve Cohen—you wanna know who else's got their eyes on the prize, right? Well, buckle up! The search results are as dry as a summer desert when it comes to specific competitors for this Citi Field marvel—but those who like to play the long game will be thrilled to hear about the Manhattan projects brewing in the distance.
Take, for example, the SL Green Corporation teaming up with none other than Las Vegas royalty, Caesars Entertainment, to bring a Vegas-style casino to the heart of Times Square. Meanwhile, the Related Companies and the swanky Wynn Resorts have their eyes set on a project at Hudson Yards. While these projects may be worthy adversaries, Cooper's Citi Field project remains the Tony in a field of aw-shucks Todds. 😉
So there y'have it, folks! Steve Cohen's Metropolitan Park project continues to lead the charge towards New York City casino glory, with Steven and his pals getting the prime real estate at Citi Field. The only thing left to see now is whether the Mayor will give his nod of approval... performative drumroll 🥁
