Reschedule Game/Series

[mdbdotcom]

So we're playing home games against TB at the Trop this weekend? Does that mean that we get 3 games of Trop attendance counting against our average attendance?

I would assume so.

With more stuff planned Friday and Saturday, it is probably best to have them out of town.

Fear of something in DC though? I get your point but the games should not be in Tampa.

[UpstateNYfan]

Then the O's would have to be the home team at Tampa, right?

[oriole]

O's fans should riot.

[ArtVanDelay]

No, they are keeping the gate money though. If Tampa could open their stadium why not the Nats? Manfred needs to be asked that.

Ok. So we're basically down to 76 home games now. the empty stadium game tomorrow, 3 games at the Trop and the single admission DH.

Yes, they will be the home team.

I agree with this. Even if the Nats are opposed to it, the commissioner should be able to step in and have the final word. These are supposed to be home games for us. Having the games in Washington would allow us to bring in decent crowds. It would be much better for baseball than having 200 people show up in Tampa for the weekend.

Well I would still count the DH as 2 home games but I get your point.

There might be a good reason why not but I would like to know.

It's only one admission.

[UpstateNYfan]

I hope something gets going on social media to draw a ton of O's fans. Wish I lived a drivable distance. Maybe Southwest could to a quick $59 promo, in my dreams.

Yes, 76 gates this year plus they are keeping the gate money from Tampa this weekend minus expenses.

If SW would do round trip tix for 3,777 points each way, I'd fly down Saturday and come back Sunday night all the way from NY!

I think the MASN dispute ruins any opportunity the O's and Gnats might have to cooperate.

I can fly out of Allentown for less than $300 r/t. I have family down there that I can stay with.

I am very tempted to pull the trigger.
