I was going to post a separate thread. I’ll just talk about Opening Day here. Had busy weekend. 
 

-The food lines OD were brutal. Yes, I get a ton of people but it was a joke. 

-bathroom lines were long but moved fast 

-the discount Birdland members get was not working on OD. How this is possible is just amazing

-I had really good seats on OD,  best ever. The speakers which are bad on other spots in the park are pathetic. I find it hard to believe they can’t take care of this. Let’s MSA reimburse them. It’s weak. 
 

Side note: I see on Saturdays gates will open 2 hours before games. Apparently no other days. 

When they are only going to have that level of attendance for one game this season it makes sense to not ramp things up fully and just have dissatisfied customers.

The hilarious thing about the $4.10 stand is they think selling potato chips for $4.10 is a bargain.

In the end I got one for $9, fees included, off TickPick.com

Wouldn't it be nice if they took a lesson from Augusta National.  Three bucks for a barbecue sandwich!  Focus is on having fans enjoy the day rather than gouging them for as much money as they can.  W

There were many years where the speakers were so loud that you could not have a conversation with the person sitting next to you, especially in between innings, or with batter intro songs. I may be outnumbered on this, but I like the volume turned down.

I’m not asking for a Vegas party style but it’s shouldn’t sound like a mush mouth from a 1980’s local fire hall.

I saw Springsteen on Friday at CFG areana on Friday. Great new sound system. Why would anyone see Springsteen at Camden Y.ards ?Don't like stadium shows anyway.

Plus Levy got a late start. They were still hiring managers and many employees in the last few weeks.

I was in town early. The team store on Thursday had no issue with the discount but a day it didn’t work. Maybe it did at team store? No idea. 
 

Also may not matter to some but no programs/yearbooks again.  Had a family member go to spring training. Twins sold them at Ft Myers, nothing at Sarasota.

Yes,someone mentioned that the Orioles don't bother with that anymore.

I’m sure the cost benefit analysis said it’s not worthwhile. 
 

For what is worth I heard the toilet paper is super thin as well and I’m not lying.

John Angelos doesn't give a s**t. He cares about the fans and Baltimore. Lol.

The concerts don’t use the stadium sound system, do they?  Of course, I’d rather see almost any concert at a smaller indoor venue vs. a 40,000 seat outdoor stadium.

Bands playing in big arenas typically use a combination of their own speakers and the venue's PA system. The band's own speakers, also known as stage monitors, are used to provide the musicians with a mix of their own instruments and vocals. The venue's PA system, on the other hand, is used to amplify the sound for the audience. The sound engineer for the band typically works with the venue's sound engineer to ensure that the sound is balanced and clear for both the musicians and the audience.

Only select Saturdays.  It’s really dumb for multiple reasons.

      It takes Orioles rookies 60 or 70 at bats to get their first two hits.

      Tell me how can Harbaugh help him when he doesn't know how to help himself. Harbs is the worst at burning timeouts stupidly then not having any when they are needed at crunch time.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      Yes the same here. They are going to the playoffs and yet I have no feeling towards it whatsoever. Weird feeling. Like you just know they are going to get bounced in the first round. It looks inevitable. I mean you could make a case the Tigers are more deserving of the Orioles spot. They are playing some great baseball of late.

      Man Baltimore sports has not been kind. The Orioles are on a  3 month tailspin and the Ravens did what they do best and blew another double digit 4th quarter lead to a inferior team.  Let's see if the Orioles can right the ship,  though I'm not holding my breath on that one at all. Yikes.

      Idk how impactful this was, probably pretty low on the list of problems, but this is the 2nd straight week that Lamar threw the ball late in the game and the receiver was unable to get oob.  The ball to Bateman is probably excusable because we had more time on the clock and we needed the deep ball to be in position to make a run, but this time throwing a 12 yard dump to Andrews was just straight up stupid IMO.  I get that they're going to play outside leverage all day every day in this situation but just throw it away and try to take another shot.  Lamar has to have more clock awareness than that,  and Harbaugh has to instill in him the importance of saving those seconds on the clock.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By now · Posted

      Sorry but that response from Fuller sounds to me like too many words, concepts, abstractions, and if that's how he communicates, wordy and convoluted, it's a lot for hitters to carry "into the box." Not to mention all the specifics involved, re. what pitches and locations to look for, all the analytics of how to do the swing and torque the body, etc. I'm no coach but I can imagine a whole season of this approach just becomes information overload. Maybe it's not rocket science, after all (with all due respect to ex-NASA Sig). Maybe the antidote is more Zen: just see the pitch and hit the dang thing.  BTW I think the analytical, overthinking approach is better suited to the pitching side, where you can plan your attack based on all the data. Hitting is more reaction, no time to think. You can't beat pitching using the same approach--rather, need the opposite approach, to counter with instinct and intuition. At least, that's my cheap (2 cents) advice!

      The proposition that every auction automatically results in an overpay is simplified indeed.  Granted, "kind of true" is a low bar to clear, but still...
