My daughter and I were flying back from San Diego (college orientation) to Virginia today and are stranded in Dallas after cancelled flights. 

We took it as a sign that the O's play here Friday so we decided to go all in, go to the game and fly home Saturday. 

Settled near the airport tonight, but going to relocate to a hotel near stadium with walkable stuff to do/see/eat.  Appreciate any hangouter advice!!

Hotels in Arlington that are walking distance to the stadium are pretty limited.  There is a new Loews right there next to the Stadium and Texas Live and also I think a Sheraton and Courtyard Marriott within walking distance.

If you want more options of things to do close by, you could a room in either Dallas or Fort Worth and just drive in for the game.  Parking is pretty manageable around the stadium.  I was there for the ASG tuesday and even then parking was easy to find (but they were definitely charging a premium).

I live in Dallas and am going to the games on Saturday and Sunday.  I haven't spent much time in Arlington other than for games, but happy to offer any suggestions about the ballpark or the DFW area in general.

As others have said, it's really going to depend on if you have a car or not.  If not, and you're near the ballpark, Texas Live is probably your best bet.

 

EDIT: If you are going to drive a bit, I would go to Fort Worth and not Dallas, for a number of reasons.

      Which Povich do we get on Sunday?

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      The youngster has shown us glimpses of dominance, and then, the very next start he is awful. Into the 8th inning against the White Sox with 10 strikeouts and no walks, he pitched one of the best games of ANY Oriole starter this season. But the  start before, against the Dodgers, he was bombed, and the game AFTER his great performance against Chicago he was battered by the Red Sox. We could really use a series win with a good start b Povich against Detroit. But I'm done trying to figure this guy out. He can be great one start and horrible the next. What do you think will be his line on Sunday?

      I'd give it to Burnes.  Great performance after the rough patch he went through.

      How can you even type the letters that spell that name?  If he were to become the coach, the entire team would participate in mandatory satanic rituals that include sacrificing children and the mutilation of newborn puppies. I heard from a reliable source that him, who we should not name, once bit the head off a baby kitten nun before going to bat and then mouth kissed the umpire who gave him an automatic home run.

      That's not true in the case of Chourio whatsoever, and using him as an example actually supports the point that those of us are making that are advocating for Mayo to get more playing time - that elite prospects need to play every day to get comfortable, and their teams need to let them struggle if need be. Chourio had a .558 OPS in April in 85 at bats, and he had .542 OPS in May in 65 at bats. He struggled mightily, but the Brewers gave him regular playing time and let him play through it. The precise thing the Orioles have failed to do with Mayo, Kjerstad, Norby, Cowser, Westburg, Ortiz, and Stowers.

      By the time Rutschman had 180 PA, his   OPS was well over .700.   Ditto Cowser.   Holliday at .524 is struggling way more than those two did.  He’s also several years younger, so maybe a longer adjustment period is to be expected.   But it’s still pretty disappointing that he’s not making much progress right now, after looking a little better when his second call-up started.   I don’t consider Mayo comparable.  He hasn’t even had 40 PA yet, and his playing time has been way more sporadic than Holliday’s.  He’s had a bad start but not enough PT to wonder why he hasn’t shown improvement yet.

      Mid 80s.   The problem was that I had no idea where it was going.
