Neutral Ground Signifier

Release DateEndpointsBenefit
08/19/2024All Summary Endpoints

All Sport Event Endpoints

Sport Event Timeline		We've added a neutral ground signifier to all games in the API.

All sport_event, summary, and timeline endpoints will now include a sport_event_conditions element with ground neutral="true" in cases of a neutral ground matchup.

This matches the current behavior of other General Sport APIs.
