Haha. I think I know exactly who you are talking about. I have seen it at Ravens games also. 

Yep, he is at Ravens games as well, going through the tailgate lots. It seems like a pretty good hustle.

I mentioned President and Pratt St to show you areas that appear safe in fact aren't. And some stuff happens near the stadium. Take a look at this crime map. I can't figure out how to change the dates but scroll over the stadium and you'll see thefts/robery/assault.

Update: Type in Camden Yards into this link:

Yeah, stuff happens near the stadium. Cars get rifled through, an occasional break-in or other crimes of opportunity. Typically overnight, not during baseball games. If fans going to Orioles games were victims of crimes, you would hear about it. It would be a big story because people love stories about visitors to the big bad city being victims of crime. It allows the people hearing the story to shake their heads and wonder what the world is coming to. You don't hear about it, because it doesn't happen. As far as I can tell from Google there has been one such incident, in 2015. Obviously any incident is terrible (a guy got jumped by a group of teens), but of the millions of fans that go through Camden Yards, one incident is not a crime wave, it is a statistical blip.

Go to games, people. You’re gonna be fine. It’s fun....they’ve got beer and good food and the Jumbotron and lots of giveaways and your kids can go for free. And there is a small chance you’ll see the Orioles win. And despite how small that chance is, it is orders of magnitude higher than the chances of something bad happening to you.

Live your life.
