The Orioles need a new scoreboard.  It’s one of the worst in the league.

It's the worst in professional sports. When they renovate I like to see the new board in the LF Upper Deck. Removing the board from the current location will open up the city and warehouse views.

I also drew up a redesign several years ago so Camden Station could be seen. Also, I extended the rooftop bar. In my dreams, I'd love the Hilton taken down to expose the Bromo Tower again, but barring that, here's what I drew.

I added a RF scoreboard, too.

That's pretty cool.  You should see if they need a graphic or UX designer in some capacity.

Thanks! I'm just an amateur with just average Photoshop and Photoscape skills. I have fun with it, but I'd never qualify against today's whippersnappers. If I were a younger man and lived in MD, I may apply just for kicks (and possible free O's tix). 

I did however tag David Rubenstein, MASN, Roch, Melewski, and The Orioles on a Twitter / X post today, though about the idea.

How do you post a picture?

Seriously, right click on picture and select "copy image", then paste it in your reply.

That works. It has to be a photo file. Sometimes the webpage will give a link like .html or something that does not end with .jpg .jpeg, or whatever. Trial an error is how I learned that.

Copy/paste doesn't work for me. Maybe limited to Plus Members.  "You cannot paste images directly. Upload or insert images from URL."

This is an incredible idea.  I love the layout and the extension of the rooftop bar.  It really gives an even more intimate feel to Camden.  I am so glad that we have a new smart ownership group that will oversee this renovation and these type of decisions.

Thanks. All that was assuming the Hilton stays, so hey, just move the scoreboard to block it! I do love extending the rooftop bar, so that essentially you get more Camden Station and the Warehouse in view. The scoreboard in RF was for the people who can't get a good view of the LF scoreboard.

Good ideas all around. 

If they keep it where it is, I hope they go with what CO did and make the entire area the scoreboard... 
What they had is essentially what we have now:

But what they replaced it with is so cool and what we need too.

Keep the clock at the top, but make the silhouette underneath to fill the existing space and incorporate something Baltimore-centric (or not). 

I think the proportions of Camden Yards are so pleasing, I wouldn't wall a massive wall to suddenly throw everything off, so updating the existing one to now use every inch of existing real estate with a screen seems like the best modernization that balances aesthetic with function.

    • Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.
    • Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role. 
    • Definitely leave the flag up. 
    • It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.
    • Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.
    • I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.
    • In the market and $$$ for SP = Mets, Cubs, BOS, WAS and SFG (depending on Snell opt-out).  That’s enough chairs when music stops for Burnes and Fried to cash in, and still ample for second tier Eovaldi, Manea, Kikuchi, Flaherty.
