Major League Soccer is lifting its marketing restrictions on liquor and sports betting, a move that could lead to “Jack Daniel’s Field” or a DraftKings logo on a uniform.
The MLS Board of Governors voted earlier this month to change its long-standing restrictions on clubs partnering with companies that operate sportsbooks or sell spirits. The league expects the new categories to help drive both fan engagement -- and revenue.
