More curious about whether or not they bring back Mr. Splash and the Bird Bath, or if that was just a one-off.

Mr Splash is still pre-arb. Can't see why they would let him go.

Maybe a live alligator would work.  

We have a bunch of them here. I can send one up there.

Seems to me like they filled that section every night. They might keep it just for the revenue on that block of tickets.

They had the bird bath section sold out for a couple months.  Can’t imagine they would let that go.  

That's gotta be a drop in the bucket compared to overall revenue though.

OK... I'll say it... the homer hose is cringe.... looks like a cheap porno... and I would be happy to never see it again.

I like the idea of blowing it up in CF prior to first pitch on opening day.

The ability to sell out a section, maybe two***, months in advance and make it a destination can’t be overlooked.  

***I sat in the section next to it during the playoffs on the aisle next to it and we got the full experience.  I don’t know if it was standard or not, but 2-3 times during the game, Mr Splash was tossing out giveaway items.  A lot of stadiums have a special section or two, and this could be it for the Orioles.  They could also raise the price for that section next year as well to make it more “exclusive.” 

Maybe the newness wears off and they get rid of the Splash Zone after 2024.  But, they did put up heavy duty plastic signs on the front wall, so I think they’re in it for the long haul.

It seemed like it was popular and sold tickets. I would imagine its stays or at least starts up each May.
