The Orioles’ active offseason has “been a positive” in the team’s “quest to pack Camden Yards” in 2026, according to Andy Kostka of the BALTIMORE BANNER. The team signed free agent 1B Pete Alonso and traded for OF Taylor Ward and P Shane Baz, among other moves. Orioles President of Business Operations Catie Griggs said ticket sales have reflected fans acknowledging the team’s “commitment to making sure we’re playing top-tier baseball.” Griggs did not offer specific sales figures, but she said fans “wanted to see that we were as committed as they are to this team,” adding ticket sales show the team is “delivering that.” The midseason announcement of changes to the Birdland Memberships “rankled some of Baltimore’s most loyal fans.” There are new benefits as part of the modified season ticket packages, such as a guaranteed giveaway gate for season ticket holders. There are also upgrades coming to Camden Yards. That includes a “new sound system, main scoreboard and video board, ribbon boards on grandstand facades and a club-level bar.” The premium club behind home plate will open as well. One improvement Griggs emphasized is the “addition of more TVs in the concourses.” She said that the stadium is “on track to be ready ahead of opening day.” Despite the “stark rise” in season ticket prices for some fans, club officials at the time said that “prices are increasing by about 3%” (BALTIMORE BANNER, 1/30).
