Good morning, Camden Chatters.
It’s done. It’s official. The ink is dry and the deal has been rubber-stamped. The Orioles have finalized a new lease with the state of Maryland that will keep them at Camden Yards for at least 15 and potentially 50 more years. After the two sides agreed to terms last Thursday, the deal became official yesterday when both the Maryland Stadium Authority and the Board of Public Works voted their approval. Soon after, the O’s issued a press release announcing the deal, which “represents the commitment by the Orioles organization to the City of Baltimore, our fans, and the desire to reinvigorate the area in and around Oriole Park at Camden Yards and the Downtown Corridor.
