Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio takeover the 919 Vice Podcast to discuss the latest on legal sports wagering in North Carolina. The hosts recently sat down with governor Roy Cooper, who was hopeful sports bets would go live in time for the NCAA Tournament. Given the Fanatics Betting partnership announcement from the Carolina Hurricanes, it appears the timetable for March Madness is on track. There has also been a ton of speculation regarding plans for Backyard Bistro. The longstanding sports restaurant was recently purchased by the Canes. Will it be turned into a temporary sports book while PNC Arena renovations are underway? Not according to Raleigh Magazine. Ovies and Giglio caught up with Gina Stephens to discuss her report on the future of the space.
