Since opening its doors more than 40 years ago, Pocono Downs has undergone many changes, the latest being the acquisition of the racetrack and all five off-track wagering facilities by the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (MTGA) in January 2005. Now known as Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, the 400,000 square-foot complex is again undergoing many more changes, as it is transformed into a true entertainment destination. Work on the multi-million dollar renovation began in fall 2005 with the demolition of the old grandstand and several improvements to the Pacer's Clubhouse. The gaming experience includes a food court, casino bar, three great dining locations and the Mohegan Sun Players Card program. Construction is scheduled for completion in late 2007/early 2008.
