PITTSBURGH, PA — - PPG Paints Arena is getting a sportsbook-style lounge. The Penguins on Wednesday announced they are partnering with Rivers Casino and BetRivers.com to create two rows of seating in which fans can watch the hockey game while betting via the BetRivers Pennsylvania app on their mobile devices.

The new space will be created by removing several rows at the top of section 120 in the lower
bowl. It will feature a bar with seating and club chairs, as well as multiple live-action screens.

"This is an exciting extension of our longstanding relationship with Rivers," David Morehouse, president and CEO of the Penguins, said in a news release. "The BetRivers Lounge is one of a number of projects we are undertaking at PPG Paints Arena to provide an enhanced and safe fan experience in a post-COVID environment.""
