The Stadium Sports Bar & Grill at L’Auberge Baton Rouge has been closed and is undergoing a $6.7 million renovation that will turn it into a Barstool Sportsbook.

The sportsbook is set to open around November, said Cheryl Duhon, the casino’s vice president of marketing. It will be the first permanent sportsbook in a Baton Rouge casino; Hollywood Casino has a temporary DraftKings sportsbook, but the permanent sportsbook won’t open until the property completes its land-based expansion in late spring 2023.

“We want this to have a presence,” Duhon said. “Barstool is such a unique brand, we want it to be seen as soon as one enters the casino.”
