Reschedule Game/Series

Maybe they will change the name to the Baltimore Vagabonds and play all away games.

Why wouldn't they be though?

It would be much easier to nullify the Baltimore tix and have you re-purchase them through Tampa. Different seating and pricing schemes would make a crossover a nightmare.

Kind of want to sneak in and have an entire stadium to roam free.

I expect to be able to do that all weekend here in St. Pete.

The Saints played a home game in NY vs the Giants in 2005. The games should have been played anywhere but Tampa this weekend.

ftfy..

I am sure there will be many trying that.

With stadium security, masses of police and the National Guard ... good luck!

I'm with ya. That is one hideous stadium.

True, but these games should have the smallest crowds ever. Since the O's are the home team, they probably won't allow Rays season tix holders to trade a ticket for one of these games. I expect a few hundred people in black and orange and not much more. Maybe some tix will be given away to non-profit orgs and schools.

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?

This is going to be like in soccer where they are forced to play empty stadium games for angry crowds.

I don't think an away team should be playing at home. Would have rather the Orioles play in an empty stadium at home this weekend.

Sneak in and sit in the highest row of section 306. Now that would be funny.

[Aristotelian]

I can't even imagine what tomorrow's game is gonna be like. Will there be announcements? Walk up music? Will it just be dead silent? I wonder if we'll be able to hear the players and coaches talking.

This is going to be bizarre. I wish they would just cancel/reschedule. Moving the entire Tampa series seems to massive overreaction. The resumption of baseball should be an opportunity for the city to come together. If they play it should be open to the public, in my opinion. Oh well, it is a crazy situation and they are doing what they have to do.

Here is full announcement from the Orioles with number to call to make ticket exchanges:

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

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