Yeah, I butchered that one horribly. Thanks for point that out. My point was, more people would watch some of the other teams in prime time games, so I didn't expect the Orioles to be in any of the later slots.

Degenerate gamblers aside, does anyone watch that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbiggs2525 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Shouldn’t Biscotti step in here and cancel the concert? It’s Wednesday, there is rain in the forecast in the morning. If this was a Ravens playoff game and Angelos was doing this, all hell would break loose. I bought my ticket package end of may for home playoff games. To all the people with Maryland Stadium authority attacks, I know. As a partner you have say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was saying.....basically that the matchups will dictate the schedules.....and that there's a reason for how they decide to schedule things and what makes them the most money when. I don't think they are idiots, I actually think there's a process. If you want to think they're idiots, that's fine. I just disagree. Calling them idiots is just misplaced emotion/frustration at not knowing our game time by now. It is kind of starting to feel like you are the sole person making the ALDS game times decisions for the MLB. Can you just tell us what time the O's are scheduled for? You can release the other game times on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Underground Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 The networks never care bout people going to the games. That is why they will have in the NFL playoffs, a night game at Green Bay,Buffslo or New England and put the early day game in Miami or a dome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does you buying a ticket package for home playoff tickets have to do with the concert or the time of the game? No one is going to prevent you from using those tickets - it's not like the game is going to get cancelled or played on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is that could foresee this being a possibility. We finished a few games out of the playoffs last year with a much better team this year.

Going Underground Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I say the Swarm movie and didn't like it. The first game of the series is slated to be played Saturday, the same day as the sold out Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks concert at neighboring M&T Bank Stadium. Doors for that are set to open at 5:30 p.m., with music beginning at 7 p.m., creating a potential swarm of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports Guy Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 11 minutes ago, SteveA said: So Stevie Nicks gets no say whatsoever? The more I think about it, the Ravens took a calculated risk when they schedule a concert during what would be the divisional round of the MLB playoffs. They bet that the Orioles would not be one of the top two division winners in the AL, and they lost that bet. So making them forfeit the parking is a fair solution as this situation is the Ravens' fault (though still not fair to the concert goers who purchased parking). I know in the past, when there was such a thing as FanFest, the Orioles avoided scheduling it on weekends when it was possible that the Ravens might have home playoff games. I know at least one FanFest was scheduled for that off week between the NFL conference championship games and the Super Bowl. While it is a common thread on here that the Ravens have a good owner and well run organization and the Orioles have a terrible owner and an organization that has made a lot of bad decisions over the years -- I would say the fault lies totally with the Ravens here. They either didn't bother to understand the MLB playoff schedule and when the Orioles might have games, or they chose to gamble that the Orioles wouldn't be one of the top two division winners. When I spoke with the rep at the Ravens, he was very matter of fact about things. And I don’t mean that in a bad way but if he says what he said to me to people who actually could be effected, they will be pissed. Telling people that they have to just “park elsewhere in the city” isn’t going to sit well with a lot of those people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Underground Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 And Carin Leon is appearing at the CFG Arena and no one mentions him on Saturday night. It remains unclear what time the Orioles might play. An MLB spokesperson said game times will not be determined until the completion of the wild-card series.
