That was it?  The brought the Mayor in just to announce a concert?

And people get upset when someone calls Baltimore a hick town.

Finally a silver lining to the delay/cancellation of MLB games: making ballpark transitions from baseball to concerts and back again less rushed.

BTW, if you have an interest in Sir Paul's music, I highly recommend seeing him perform at least once. It's a great show and, at least for those of us of a certain age, a unique atmosphere. (And there are lots of fans there in their teens, 20's and 30's, singing along.)

This kinda seems like a great example of how NOT to do public relations.

I mean a Paul McCartney concert is cool and all, but not worth putting out the hype train ahead of time.

Yikes, the You Tube feed started late and cut off early.  Poor production value, horrible look for “Orioles Entertainment”.

FWIW Sir Paul will turn 80 a few days after his appearance at OPACY.

Is the left-center wall going to jut out like that around the bullpen?  Pretty cool if so!

90 degree angle there.  Will be the “triples corner”.

Honestly, I have the other opinion that it would look really, really bad. Like the area was just carved out and won't flow with the rest of the park. But I'll wait to see it complete before having a final opinion on it.

Does JA really think fans are going to fall for the idea that he used (from Joel concert) and will use profits from future concerts to help fund the ML team?  Lol

Are Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters still "big acts"?

I guess it's a good sign they are moving from Boomer rock to Gen X acts...

Only two generations to go...

Well they are their main demographic for fans.

I guess President Biden and Governor Hogan were unavailable.
