This is starting to sound like a investment thread lol

There is no baseball in Monaco because if you hit a home run out of the park, it'll land in either another country (France) or the Mediterranean. They'd run out of balls quickly.

Plus the field would have to be on a 25 % grade or higher , and would cost about a billion or more just for the land 😊

My family had a chance to visit Monaco on a recent Med cruise. There is a soccer (football if you must be proper) stadium there though. Great place to feel extremely poor.

Heck, you can do that in NY, SF or LA.

I was in the UK a couple of summers ago, and went to a couple of games. Chelsea home opener, and a Man City Champions League game. You cannot bring a beer into the seating area, and have to down them before the game and at the half. But there is all sorts of in-stadium places to bet. And not just on current or other games, but all sports of prop bets (first goal, next goal, player and team betting). Quite the cultural eye opener.
