Avoiding the pink elephant in the room.  That seems like a perfectly fine letter to write AFTER addressing the direction the franchise will take going forward.

I was surprised that it came today myself.

Oh, come on.   complaining that the ticket services office is doing their jobs as best they can is ridiculous.    They have a job to do, they most likely won't be affected by the change at the top of baseball operations.   And I imagine most season ticket holders would want more communication from them instead of less.

Since the Orioles DO have a business manager, I'd be interested in hearing what things are being value added to make up for the non competitive team to come.

In fairness, the retention team for the Orioles isn't exactly going to be helping them interview or vet Cherington or Ng.

Who would you guess is doing the interviewing?

Well, so far in the last year and a half we have seen a lot of new and interesting giveaway items,, the popular theme nights that brought lots of different people to the park, the kids-free thing, the concerts on Friday nights.   I hope they continue to come up with stufflike this, and I imagine as the season draws closer they will.   It's obvious they have been trying very hard recently to do lots of new things to bring fans to the park.

I think adding mainstream concerts, not just country artists, would give the venue more impact.

Same email for me came last Thursday.

I agree.

The Nats had a thing for a while where they set up a stage behind 2nd base and did postgame concerts.   Fans could go to the good seats and watch or they could even come out on the field and stand on a tarp and watch.   I saw Blues Travellers there, and the Wallflowers.   They did have some country artists too.

It only lasted a couple years, I think.

One odd thing I remember is that the concert was treated as a separate event, even though the game ticket was what got you in.   So, like at all major league games, they stopped selling alcohol in the 7th inning.   But then after the game, for the concert, they started selling it again

I still think it will be Ned in the end.  JMO.

"Possible candidates". Sounds like Morosi is playing the Rosenthal game and throwing you know what at the wall to see what sticks. My guess is no one is conducting the interviews because I don't believe they're actually happening.
