I've been expecting it since Peter stepped down.

Hope it's something hilariously bad and/or the sponsor goes bankrupt.

Gas-X Stadium has a nice ring to it.

The Maryland Stadium Authority Presents Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

I suppose the only good news about this is that they would likely need a lease extension to enter into any agreement for the naming rights...

They are not going anywhere.

MLB would not allow it and they have a 600M bribe sitting there waiting for a signature.

My guess is they are negotiating the amount of oversight the MSA has on how the money is spent.

I hope it happens.

The Ravens upgrades may not all be paid with bonds Interest rates are higher and may need some bank financing 

Snippet from a paywall article:

The Maryland Stadium Authority is seeking $200 million in possible bank financing to pay for $435 million in improvements to the stadium.

Haha, you're so weird about this.  No offense

Why do you hope it happens, other than to be a contrarian?  If I thought they'd take the money the spent and use it to improve the on-field product I wouldn't care, but I have no expectation that that will be the case.  It's just giving the stadium a lame name so the Angelos's can pocket more money.

So do I.  I would bet that ownership will pocket the money and cry about being in a small market like Tampa. It would be such on point with the Angelos family.

First of all, Oriole Park at Camden Yards is and always has been a dumb name. They couldn’t decide whether to call it Oriole Park or Camden Yards, so they combined them.

I mean, at what point have you ever said to someone, I’m heading to Oriole Park at Camden Yards for the game tonight?

We call it Oriole Park or Camden Yards but not both at the same time.

And guess what, if it becomes Under Armour Park at Camden Yards, we will still call it Oriole Park or Camden Yards.

Nothing will change except the name on the stadium and that is barely noticed anyway.

So, make extra money. It’s a business and more revenue is a good thing.

Calling it Natural Bohemian would be misnaming it over a horrible beer.
