Should the Orioles move to the suburbs?

[atomic]

The Braves just abandoned a 20 year old stadium to move to their affluent suburbs.

Camden Yards is a fantastic stadium but lets face it most of the fans live in the suburbs. The city has a lot of crime and I am sure that hurts attendance. The city does have public transportation and parking going for it.

If you did move the team where would you move it to?

We live in the DC area. Stadium is plenty easy to get in and out of. I have also never felt remotely frightened.

You don't move out of the best park in MLB because of parking.

I said the parking at Camden Yards was good. I move to the suburbs would probably create gridlock getting in and out of the stadium.

20 years in Port Covington but still in the city. Right off of 95 with a retractable roof.

I think they have a great location. Suburban stadiums are very "out" right now anyway.

also, I knew there was a reason this question felt familiar:

Nats park was built first - when it was still the "Navy Yard" area and surrounded by a bunch of old industrial buildings. They have since built up neighborhoods around the stadium, which I bet is very expensive rent.

I would think it would be quite different if they kept playing at RFK.

Best stadium in MLB. Moving would be horrible for the city. THe last thing the world needs is another stadium subsidized by taxpayers.

If parking is an issue, build another lot before letting an unused stadium deteriorate in downtown Baltimore.

Instead of spending more than half a billion dollars on leaving a city that has become an increasingly popular place to live and work, spend that money on improving education, opportunity and policing in the city. Remove the Orioles or reduce the risk. Your choice.

No. They shouldn't.

I even replied to it. Must be getting senile in my old age. I don't think the Orioles should move from downtown. I just saw the last game was played at the old stadium in Atlanta. Just curious what other people's opinions would be. Guess I can re-read the old thread.

Why do you want to get a beer?

In a word, no. You don't abandon one of the top parks in the game, a modern day successor to Wrigley Field and Fenway Park, because of a temporary dip in attendance.
