The Orioles are staying at Camden Yards for the foreseeable future, as Orioles chairman John Angelos and Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced this evening. The organization, the state of Maryland, and the Maryland Stadium Authority have agreed upon a new lease that will keep the Orioles in Baltimore for another 30 years. Per Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner, the deal includes two five-year extension options that could extend the terms of the lease into the 2060s.
The news brings to an end negotiations regarding the Orioles’ future in Baltimore. The club first moved into Camden Yards back in 1992 on a 30-year lease that was set to expire just three months from now, at the end of the 2023 calendar year. The Orioles held a five-year extension option on the club’s current lease but declined to exercise it this past February with the goal of reaching an agreement on a longer-term deal later in the year. That goal has now been achieved, though the specific terms of the deal between the club, the local stadium authority, and the state are currently unknown, with full details on the lease expected on Friday.
Angelos had previously been reported to be seeking additional funding and public land in the stadium deal as recently as last month, with Angelos reportedly interested in replicating The Battery in Atlanta, which houses not only the Braves’ Truist Park but a complex of various commercial and residential uses including apartments, restaurants, shops, and event spaces. Complicating those desires is the agreement the Maryland Stadium Authority has in place with the Baltimore Ravens, which contains a clause requiring parity between the Ravens and Orioles regarding the terms of their respective leases.
While it’s unclear if any of the funding or land Angelos was seeking is part of the new lease agreement, it’s worth noting that at the time of the report, sources indicated to The Baltimore Banner that the Orioles would not receive the land and funding they were seeking, and Kostka now reports that plans for a Battery-style development in Baltimore were taken off the table. Regardless of the final terms of the agreement, Kostka notes that the new lease will unlock $600MM worth of state-financed bonds that the Orioles will be able to use to renovate the ballpark in the coming years.
With negotiations regarding potential relocation and stadium renovations nearing varying conclusions in Oakland (or rather, Las Vegas), Tampa, and now Baltimore, MLB continues to clear the way for a potential expansion effort in the coming years. That said, there are still teams that have expressed a willingness to move out of their current stadium: in recent weeks, comments from both Brewers owner Mark Attanasio and White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf have indicated a desire to secure public funding for stadium renovations in the future.
Let’s Go!
It would have been a shame to see Camden yards sit vacant or become a minor league park had Angelos got his way. This is great to see.
I mean if Angelos wanted that, that’s what would’ve happened. He deserves a lot of blame for a lot. Not this.
Angelos got his way. It’s why the Orioles will be staying for the next 30 years.
Angelos doesn’t have much liquidity and MLB didn’t support a move. He eventually got what he could but certainly not what he really wanted. There’s no public land donation coming his way.
If he still wants the land, he will just have to buy it with his own money.
Land also has to be for sale to buy.
but certainly not what he really wanted
=========================
IMO, that’s the essence of a good deal. Everyone goes home with something, but no one goes home with everything.
He got the land – 99 year lease twitter.com/masnRoch/status/1707782260361986239
Using public funds for billionaire’s follies better come with a hefty interest rate as a loan.
Do you know if he got the additional $300 million loan?
Pretty happy when the billionaires just pay for the follies at all. For most cities and states the billionaires get a gift of taxpayer dollars.
Looks like you were right, at least in part.

Definitely good news. Still a great stadium.

What we are looking at is good and evil
Right and wrong?
The poor will eat the rich during late stage capitolizm? As Elon said “America has gone full Joker”… at least Candem Yards will be a staple for it… 30 years baby!
Elon IS the joker
I forget who said it, but someone said that democracy starts to die when people realize that they can vote themselves a portion of the treasury. So half the country votes for lower taxes, and half the country votes for increased spending.
And here we are.
The people ARE the treasury. Never forget where money in government comes from.
This is a really stupid comment and not appreciated on a sports page.
Since that’s how you want to play it.
What a tool.
Great Googly Moogly
Plus where would they have gone
They are Baltimore
I am happy
The A’s have the advantage in that they can move anywhere that they can draw 100 to 200 fans. Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, Beaumont, Texas, and Eau Claire, Wisconsin were all in the running apparently.
Nashville Hot Chicken!
Thank god
Dang. Now ohtani and boras clients are going to want a 45 year deal.
Montreal, Nashville, Charlotte or Salt Lake City Orioles just doesn’t have the same ring…
The Rays need to move to Nashville or Charlotte.
I think expansion is more likely. 2 deserving cities right there though.
One of the two will get a team.
I hope both get a team. Would be nice to have SLC too but I’m not sure the market is big enough for a baseball team. I could be wrong though.
As a Braves fan it’s nice to have a monopoly on the south which no other southern team has in other sports. New Orleans was always a city that I found intriguing for MLB to expand into. Nashville has shown to be a good sports town with their teams including their soccer club.
I don’t think N.O. would be a good baseball city honestly, at least not for MLB. Good in theory, but probably not in practice.
One expansion team in south and one on west coast.
Absolutely no more on the west coast, they have too many as it is. Charlotte, Nashville, etc are better options as there is a greater chance to draw from fans outside of their immediate region. West coast is saturated with teams and limited additional markets due to population density of geographical regions.
Yeah, the Braves will be the hurdle for Charlotte and Nashville. Braves won’t give up the revenues easily as seen with the O’s/Nats “agreement”.
But at a league level, it just makes sense to tap into those markets. I forget who has a minor league team in Charlotte now, but that stadium is beautiful with the skyline in the background of RF.
Why go by population density? It hasn’t done much for several teams. The MLB should look at location geographically. Use Arlington Rangers as example to brand an expansion team. MLB needs more west coast teams because the east is too clustered together. Salt Lake, Portland, Vancouver, or even Dallas are some cities that come to mind with ideal locations to draw in fans. You may laugh at Salt Lake idea, but they have casinos like Vegas and geographically, a brilliant location to draw crowds in surrounding areas of Utah. It was once a thriving city and still can be once it gets national attention again. They are surround by bodies of water and can flourish in city size and population. I think Salt Lake would be a brilliant place to brand an expansion team. OKC is another one but may struggle with Arlington, Kansas City, St Louis, and now Vegas in the mid-west regions. Who knows, OKC probably could pull it off and have a solid foundation for an MLB team. Oklahoma City Steers 🙂
Portland is a bigger market than Nashville and within 100k of Charlotte.
Salt Lake Valley is bigger than 4 existing MLB markets.
MLB should put a team in Portland.
Shame on you. Portland sucks because of its housing crisis. It is not lawless.
Portland and either Nashville or Charlotte. I think Nashville has a leg up on Charlotte because it already has an organization pushing for a team there. Dombrowski used to be part of that group.
Brian, It’s not quite the same. Nashville is a 4+ hour drive to Atlanta. Baltimore is 40 miles from DC.
That may be the dumbest thing I have seen posted here today. Portland is both beautiful and growing as a city, its GDP per capita is exploding, and the crime rate is not in the top 100 cities in the US. Of teams that currently have MLB teams or that are in consideration for one it would not rank in the top 20 in crime.
There is no organization named ANTIFA. It literally means anti-fascist, which the entire US should be. We fought two wars over it and defeated fascism both times. If you are not anti-fascist, that says a huge amount about you as a person. Hitler lovers are not welcome in my world.
Please take your ignorant, bigotted diatribes elsewhere.
Pads Fans – I realize that. I live in Baltimore and have family in TN, MS, AL, SC, FL, and GA.
The Braves have had that market for decades. Multiple teams have been in and out of DC in that same time. TBS brought the Charlotte market to Atlanta when the superstations started their growth as early cable mover. Baltimore never had that same type of footprint much past NOVA. Once you get south of Richmond, I bet there are more Braves fans than Nats fans even now. My main point is more that Atlanta will have to be bought out like Baltimore was when the Expos moved to DC. Maybe not the same degree, but the same direction.
Portland is pretty awesome. Especially compared to other large cities I travel to. The housing crisis is hitting everywhere. Corporate ownership of single family homes and the fact that new housing is just not being built is driving up prices. In one area of San Diego 30% of all housing units, houses and apartments, are owned by 5 companies. Those 5 companies control the entire market and can set any price they want for housing. 4 of those companies used to be major builders. Now they just buy up the existing housing and drive up the prices.
Does Florida not count as part of the South because their terrible attendance isn’t a threat to the Braves’ monopoly?
But what about Texas?
There’s still Portland as a good-sized market on the West coast. Plus, I think MLB would prefer not to have both expansion teams in the same region.
Everytime I am in Nashville I try to catch a Sounds game and half the caps in the stands are Braves.
Atlanta doesn’t own the broadcast rights to Nashville like the Orioles have in in DC since 1983. They won’t have to be bought out in that regard. But the new Nashville major league team will definitely have to win over all the lifelong Braves fans in the area.
One of my clients is in Baltimore a few blocks away from Camden Yards. They were afraid they would lose their lease from the state in this whole deal. Looks like they will be staying there a while longer at least.
The Orioles had to make agreements with the Nationals only due to sharing the same metro area.
The Braves have no territory rights outside the Atlanta metro area, let alone in other states; save for areas where their games get blacked out on some national TV broadcasts, and even those territories are often shared by up to as many as 6 different teams.
There are some effects to drawing from a larger regional area like with the Rockies, but it’s usually a very small effect. Most MLB attendance comes from residents in the metro area or tourists. Besides, most Utahns care a lot more about basketball (NBA, WNBA, or college) and college football than they do about baseball. I know, because my mother grew up there, my sister and her family live there, and I have a lot of extended family living there with biannual family reunions.
In what world is Nashville on the East coast? It’s specifically the South that has grown the fastest and deserves at least one of the upcoming expansion teams.
Dallas isn’t big enough for another team with the Rangers right next door. San Antonio, maybe?
Speaking of which, they are called the Texas Rangers, not the Arlington Rangers, for a very good reason! They even went to the trouble of getting a well-deserved exemption to continue to reference that special law enforcement agency after MLB made the rule that you can only use the state name for your team if it’s the only team in the state (which is why the Marlins changed their name).
No, Salt Lake City’s MSA ranks 46th in the U.S., well below the current smallest market with a team, Milwaukee, at #40.
No matter how far “Braves’ Country” stretches, they still have no legal right to block anything beyond the Atlanta metro area. They didn’t need to buy out the Cardinals to start putting other teams west of the Mississippi, especially in Kansas City, did they? They didn’t even need the Braves’ permission to put teams in Florida.
How many Braves fans in Nashville or Charlotte would switch loyalties if they got their own teams remains to be seen, but the Braves still can’t do anything about it if MLB wants to expand over there.
He is talking about TV market. Nielsen DMA specifically which measures the number of TV households in a market. Population is really not a consideration for MLB teams.
The Salt Lake market is #30 and is larger than KC (#34), Cincinnati(#36), and Milwaukee#37). Not sure where he got the 4 number unless he was including Las Vegas at #40.
Nashville is 29th and about 2k more TV households than SLC, Charlotte is 22nd, and Portland is 21st.
Most people don’t realize that the Salt Lake Valley stretches south all the way to Provo while the MSA only includes towns as far south as Murray.
TV is a bigger part of most team’s revenue than attendance and is certainly as important as population in choosing where expansion teams will be placed.
The Salt Lake TV market is so much more than just the city. It’s really one city from Provo to Bountiful.
Its a large market and one of the fastest growing in the nation.
I seriously like the idea of Salt Lake and Portland or Vancouver being expansions. Then reconfigure the divisions so cities in the west are actually in the west. Central is actually in the central and east teams are east. Maybe add the south by reducing divisions teams to 4 with 2 wild card teams. Top 2 team gets a bye in a best of 3 series in WC round.
Cool it would have been strange to not have them in Baltimore
Read the article. They weren’t going anywhere else. They turned down the five year deal in favor of reaching a longer one. So they didn’t kick the can down the road. Maybe Congress should pay attention to how things get done. Oh, never mind,
@whyhayzee
Article or not, Johnny the Clown isn’t exactly a man of his word. Can’t blame Baltimore fans to take his “promises” with a grain of salt.
What promises has Angelos broken?
Hard to know, seeing as he never talks to the press.
And when he does, he tries to railroad the media like with the MLK Day incident.
Well, he promised that the Orioles were not leaving Baltimore. He promised that he would restore Orioles pride by putting a winning team on the field. He promised that they would beat the Yankees.
Can’t think of any others. How about you?
He missed the ASB deadline he promised for stadium renewal, and never met with the press to show the club financials like he promised in Spring Training.
Is it bad not to talk to the press? The press in more times than not, turned things into a negative to get a rise out of people. They will microscope every detail to find a flaw and turn it into an avalanche regardless of how big or small the flaw is. The press is as reliable as out politicians, and that isn’t reassuring.
Uh, Angelos offered up those promises unsolicited.
The biggest non-surprise this year.
Good news for O’s fans. The costs have yet to revealed, but this didn’t happen without large amounts of scratch being offered,
Good!
Enjoy this “joke” while you can, because it’s just a matter of time!
Which particular US city are you referring to?
St Louis Ed.
No one understands long periods of time without winning quite like the Red Sox…
Know something about the game before making such half baked insults jagwell. Boston did indeed go 20+y a few times the last century betwwen WS appearences, during that time there were no advantages of having 2+ divisions much of the time, much less wild cards.. 1 team went, no playoffs until the 70’s rolled around.
Failure teams? Let’s start with Seattle, which has been around since 1977, wild card advantage since 2k, 3 divisions since 90’s and -0- WS chances.
People constantly hating on Sox mostly jealous kids around this place.
Awww, someone’s feelings got hurt. I couldn’t care less about Boston, I was responding to the spiteful comment from a Boston fan. I’m not even an Orioles fan, just can’t stand how impervious Boston fans act. Much like your comment of deflection to pick on Seattle.
Beff Jagwell;
Yankees and Red Sox fans are the worst in MLB. Just entitled, spoiled, demanding, classless loudmouths.
MLB bylaws have changed so their teams can’t buy contention and championships anymore. The field is pretty much leveled. Their FO and fans don’t know enough about the sport to even compete.
Keep in mind that those 2 teams finished in last and 2nd last place in the AL East this year, and a turnaround is hardly in the near future for either. And what do their fans demand? – A new FO head, a new manager, and to buy a bunch of big name free agents by giving hem 6-10 year-contracts.
Real savvy fans.
LOL
They always seem to have unprovoked, negative comments. It’s disappointing.
20 + years? Yes 86 years is more than 20 – thanks for giving us a good laugh
“Boston did indeed go 20+y a few times the last century betwwen WS appearences”
Atrocious spelling, but factually correct. If you are laughing that means you have poor reading comprehension. The Red Sox had not WON a WS since 1918, but they had appeared in 4 between 1918 and 2004.
Didn’t the Sox go 100 years without championships?
No.
That was the Cubs.
They were born in 2005 obviously? Doesn’t anyone else recognize when they are speaking with a kid?
Whoa…. wasn’t Long John Silver a Pirate? Wrong town bucco? Move to Pittsburgh? You can compare the Red Sox failures to many things in life…. including 13 straight loosing seasons? Okay not that bad… Don’t shoot, I’m sorry… sailing on the top rung AND I LOST MY LEG shipped me up to BOSTON and I lost my LEG
The only Jealous kid I see around this place is Manny Ramirez holding his Hall of Fame resume and David Ortiz laughing his booty off at him trolling him Gotham style with the Mitchel report in hand?
People constantly hating on Sox mostly jealous kids
=======================
But what he said is true. Been a RS fan a very long time, and it was a very long time before we won a WS.
Hating on the BoSox and Yankees like one post said before.. obnoxious fan base for both teams. Every year ESPN has to waste a at least 2 Sundays nights televising these 2 teams playing each other. No one in the rest of the Country cares. The Baseball world does revolve around these 2 self entitled teams.
Chicago baseball fans say hello.
Considering Beff Jagwell is saying this? Perfect…
*Chicago Cubs enter chat*
One of the best ballparks ever built. May it last a century and host the O’s that whole time.
Los Angeles? Houston? Chicago? Detroit? St Louis?
Two of those are not in the top 30. I will let you guess which ones. Should be fun.
Los Angeles and Detroit? Houston definitely is and St Louis is probably still #1.
I am guessing Los Angeles and Chicago. High total number of crimes because of a high population, but not that high per capita.
Top 30 of what? There are only 30 MLB teams.
This is good news. I’m not an Orioles guy, but that’s a beautiful ballpark and the team belongs there.
You’re aware of the standings, right? I’m a Jays fan, but I’m still glad to see the turnaround the O’s have made this season. I’m guessing they win more than the Sox OR the Jays for a few seasons.
Unless ownership changes they do not deserve a major league team. They will be cheap and pinch pennies for ever. Imagine if Manny was still there. They would have won 120 games with that roster
Manny wanted to leave, but go on with that fake fantasy
“Imagine if Manny was still there.”
The only way they would have won with him is if he were permanently on the IL and was not allowed in the park to mingle with the Orioles players….
Not to mention that Kramer (13-5) was the winning pitcher tonight.
Gunnar is a better ball player than Manny now. We are in fact better off with Dean Kremer at this point. MM was never going to get $300MM from the O’s nor was he going to sit through the rebuild.
I have good memories of Machado though. He was a good ball player and we won more games with him than we did for a long time without him. Played stellar D for us at 3B. His last year, he was being selfish, trying to play SS. But he also embraced playing 3B for a long time for us when he was one of the top SS’s coming up. & even the year he wanted to play SS it was over Tim Beckham…..
Can’t really blame him for thinking he was a better option.
The Orioles beat your Red Sox and had one of the lowest payrolls in mlb. Imagine if they bump that payroll up a bit. Maybe even get a little revenue from the RS. Scary.
O’s should be a legitimate contender for at least 4 more seasons. Hard to project out much further than that. there’s a ton of talent in the pipeline & Adley is under control til then.
Another team trying to copy the Braves, & failing.
Best team in the AL, with no wife-beaters and no long-term extensions. I don’t see the similarities.
The article is about a stadium, not clothing.
I was clearly talking about Ozuna.
@Amanda
How many stadiums did Beantown go through in the 86 years it won nothing? Was “No No Nanette” worth it?
MacGromit I’m fairly certain that musical reference went right over her head.
Of course… teenagers are only Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and Justin Beiber fans, DUH
Failing? They’ve won 99 games this year, and still have a lot of room to grow.
Angelos is SCARED!!!! Didn’t mess around at all. He knows he couldn’t screw this up.
He tried to play hardball but didn’t have a ton of leverage.
I seem to remember being bashed by a large number of people on here who tried claiming this would never happen when I said the Orioles were not leaving.
It’s a great place and I look forward to seeing it again someday.
Amanda, if you’ve been living under a rock, per capita population density directly coincides with crime, but i’m doubting you’re savvy with sociocultural recidivism statistics. Don’t feel bad, it’s probably just outside the comprehension of your maximum potential intelligence quotient. No worries.
The city with the highest population density is not in the top 50 in crime per capita
What a despicable comment. How is Boston doing with… *checks notes* finishing last again?
LOL Amanda is so salty about her last place team and it’s trashy fanbase.
I walked five miles in Baltimore two weeks ago, afternoon on a Friday. Still alive, no issues. The narrative is a lie.
I was going to buy a lottery ticket today , but then a professor of statistics and probabilities was on tv. He said I was more likely to die driving to the store to buy the ticket than winning anything.
So I stayed home.
Statistics yeah
Great ballpark. Happy for Orioles fans.
People have a distorted memory of the Angelos family spending habits. Do some research. They’ve carried top pay rolls and for a long time were consistently middle of the pack. Just spent it on the wrong players outside of 96 and 97 and the 2012 to 2016 teams which ended with them spending on the wrong player. They aren’t as cheap as people think. Never have been. Actually this time being cheap has been the smart choice lol I guarantee if Adley and Henderson and GRod etc want to be locked up they will get it done. Also, spoiler. Not spending big of FA’s last season was the right choice not the cheap choice.
Hard to have the payroll of the past when MLB gave a chunk of your market to the Nationals.
…the MASN deal offsets the territory lost. Nationals can’t shop their TV rights. Pretty heavy “tax” that 29 other teams don’t have.
Not even close. MASN doesn’t give back all the attendance that goes to the Nationals now or advertising or sponsorship money or lost viewership. All it does is replace a portion of the TV rights.
Elias (and Angelos) said they’d spend when the time is right. We’ll wait and see how the next few offseasons play out to see if they’re genuine. Would love to lock up Gunnar and Adley for the next decade..
Glad they’re staying. Camden is my favorite park to watch a game.
100%
move the whitesoxs to Nashville should not be two teams in 1 city..The new jersey or Buffalo Mets Portland Angels…lol
But so much history for both teams. It would be a shame to move either Chicago team
If the White Sox want a Major League stadium, they need to give Chicago a Major League Team.
Never been, but heard it’s one of the nicest parks
It’s one of the ones on my must-see list. PNC Park in Pittsburgh is gorgeous if you’ve never been.
these billionaires need to pay for their own ballpark instead of asking taxpayers to build them one when they don’t get any shares of ownership of the park
Agree.
But consider this:
Those parks may be secured with some tax money, but their primarily financed by the sale of long-term government bonds. During the course of a season if you look at your ticket stub (most people here that pot and complain don’t buy tickets to MLB games) you’ll see that a good portion of he cost is for a city tax. So it means that funds are going back to the city to pay down the bonds and any money the city fronted for the construction of the park.
The same thing goes for major construction upgrades for public parks.
One other thing: most of those parks are also used for entertainment events as well, and again – a percentage of the revenue from tickets sold goes back to the city. So it’s not just the sports team that’s using the park.
When you check this out and realize what I wrote is accurate, please explain it to AOC and the other juvenile demagogues in Congress that don’t understand how public buildings, airports, etc, are financed. Speak slowly and use lots of pictures and diagrams (it’s best to have little comic symbols on them) – after all, most of them have degrees from American colleges in the past 30-40 years. Most of all – be patient. Think 4th grade.
The wonderful thing about the government is that people that cannot support themselves can find psychiatric care at no cost to themselves.
Check it out.
Terrific news! Many great memories at Camden Yards over the years. A phenomenal ballpark
Fangraphs has s@!# on the Orioles all season! In fact, I think…yeah, they just lowered the O’s odds of making the playoffs after tonight’s game. Luckiest team in baseball they say…meaning, they can’t use an equation to figure it out, therefore, luck.
Wiki quote. Pathetic.
Boston is the only AL East team under .500. Go home.
I have never been shot going home from an O’s game. I have never even heard a gunshot after one. In 20+ years… grow up
Really intolerant and ignorant comment.
Who won the Division? That’s right, the Orioles!!!
But hey, just 3 more days and then Dead Sox fans can start praying that their clueless front office figures out to resurrect your weak roster.
I’ll give you one thing though, you were better than the geriatric squad called the Yankees.
The Banner, the same “publication” that said that the Orioles were moving to Nashville and that John’s brother would take over the Orioles after he won his lawsuit. Not sure they are the most believable source.
Others reported that the 30-year lease agreement was reached, so I believe that part is true. Anything else including info from unnamed sources I will take with a grain of salt. Pretty sure those unnamed sources are the voices in their heads.
Amanda is the kind you can only mute. She joins a select few morons, bigots, and hateful people. And of course, all of Ryan’s accounts that I discover.
The article was not about Houston!
You’re insufferable
This is great news in as much as I’m sick of hearing about potential moves all over the place.
Hey, y’all. Longtime reader, infrequent commenter, O’s super fan for life, here. I love this website and I read it many times a day, in season and out. I flagged the racist goon Amanda33 and asked the moderators here to ban this person. This is easily the worst I’ve seen on this site and it’s hurtful and pathetic. I urge everyone to do the same. I’m certain there are terms for commenting on here and that crap has to be shouted down and kicked to the curb. I appreciate everyone who took the time to confront that bigot.
Talk baseball not politics.
Was she just an antiwhite, just trying to make white people look like idiots ? or possibly a Yankees fan, embarrassing the RSox fans?
Amanda33 has long been one of the worst people here. What was posted about the O’s was small fries compared to the bigoted things that account has posted over the last year
Congratulations to the Orioles for winning the division and to the Red Sox for winning their appropriate spot in the cellar.
O’s beat Houston in the season series this year and last year, troll.
No one cares what you have
Why is Amanda33 still being allowed to comment. Do better MLBTR. Y’all freak out if I call someone a clown, but this racist goon is running around openly disparaging black people and advocating for violence while aggressively trolling a fanbase that not only didn’t provoke her comments, but beat her last place team…
It’s possible, since it was RedSox fan…..
Camden Yards is synonymous with the Orioles at this point. Happy an agreement was reached. Great ballpark too.
The only one coherent enough to qualify for office. They still don’t know why they hate him, but they do.
Now they just need to clean up the filth around it
There is no filth around it.
I believe he is referencing pretty much every other part of the city beyond the Inner Harbor, Canton, and Fells Point. If that is indeed what he meant, he isn’t wrong. The city is a mess.
This is a weird definition of “decade.”
Isn’t it amazing what happens when you put a winning team on the field?
So Angelos did get the land.

@badco
Baltimore fans are getting there but as a lifetime fan, I’ve been surprised that there haven’t been more sellouts even in light of the exciting stretch run as the Rays are for real and certainly did not lose to let the O’s in the backdoor.
I hope next year will continue to return, of Angelo’s doesn’t hike ticket prices too high like he intimated when he was talking about extending the youth.
I think it’s safe to say the success of the rebuild and this team in particular may have saved the Orioles.
