Orioles director of public relations discusses upcoming season, giveaways and new fan activities
RELATIONS JENNIFER GRONDAHL. SINGLE GAME TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE. WHAT SHOULD FANS KNOW AS THEY PLAN THEIR 2026 ORIOLES SEASON? YEAH, I THINK THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF EXCITING GIVEAWAYS THAT FANS SEEM TO REALLY BE RESPONDING WELL TO. WE, AS YOU MENTIONED, WE HAD A VERY BUSY OFFSEASON. WE’RE STILL BUSY AND WHO KNOWS WHAT’S NEXT, BUT HAD SOME GREAT SIGNINGS. PETE ALONSO WILL BE INTRODUCING A BOBBLEHEAD FOR HIM. WE ALSO INTRODUCED SOME COOL NEW PROMOS THAT EVERY FRIDAY IT’S PARTY AT THE YARD FRIDAY WHERE PEOPLE CAN EXPECT HAPPY HOUR PRICING AND MUSIC, LIVE MUSIC AND JUST A PARTY ATMOSPHERE. AND THEN SUNDAYS, EVERY SUNDAY, EVERY SUNDAY HOME GAME, FANS CAN EXPECT FAMILY SUNDAYS, AUTOGRAPH SESSIONS FOR THE KIDS MEET AND GREETS WITH THE MASCOTS AND DANCE PARTY ATMOSPHERE. SO I THINK THAT THAT IS A BIG, YOU KNOW, BIG THING FOR FAMILIES WHEN THEY’RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR KIDS OVER THE WEEKEND. AND YOU MENTIONED ONE PROMOTION. FANS LOVE THE PROMOTIONS. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER ONES GOING ON? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. WELL, I’M SURE THAT YOU SAW THAT WE HAD QUITE A RESPONSE TO THE TUPAC BOBBLEHEAD. I THINK I ALREADY SAW A LISTING ON EBAY, WHICH I’M NOT SURE HOW THAT’S HAPPENING. THE BOBBLEHEADS AREN’T HERE YET, BUT I SAW THAT LAST NIGHT. BUT WE’RE DOING A MILITARY APPRECIATION NIGHT THAT’S GOING TO BE COMING UP IN APRIL AT ORIOLE PARK, WHICH IS A HUGE FAVORITE. WE ALWAYS SELL OUT, AND THAT IS ONE FOR SURE. AS FAR AS TICKETS GO, WE ANNOUNCED A COUPLE OF DATES. THEY SELL OUT EARLY, SO IF YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR PET TO YOUR DOG TO ORIOLE PARK FOR THAT EXPERIENCE, I WOULD I WOULD NAIL THOSE DOWN NOW. GOOD ADVICE AND OPENING DAY TICKETS. OPENING DAY JUST SO ICONIC HERE. THEY’RE EXCLUSIVE TO BIRDLAND MEMBERS. SO WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST PERKS OF MEMBERSHIP THIS SEASON? WELL, SPEAKING OF THE GIVEAWAYS, ONE OF THE BIGGEST PERKS IS THAT A GUARANTEED GIVEAWAY. SO EVERY BIRDLAND MEMBER WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE GIVEAWAYS NO MATTER WHAT. IT’S SOMETHING THAT OUR BIRDLAND MEMBERS HAVE BEEN TALKING TO US ABOUT FOR QUITE SOME TIME. WE ARE RENOVATING OUR CLUB LEVEL CURRENTLY RIGHT OUTSIDE MY WINDOW HERE AT CAMDEN YARDS. EVERYTHING’S UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THE VIDEO BOARD SOUND SYSTEM, BUT THEY’LL HAVE ACCESS TO AN UPGRADED BAR AND JUST AN UPGRADED EXPERIENCE. WE’RE DOING A LOT OF COOL THINGS ON THAT LEVEL. BILL STETKA, OUR ALUMNI AFFAIRS DIRECTOR, IS WORKING WITH THE BABE RUTH MUSEUM TO BRING IT TO LIFE AND CONNECT FANS TO SOME OF OUR HISTORY AS WELL. SO THE BIRDLAND CARAVAN EVENTS ARE HAPPENING NEXT THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. SO WHAT CAN FANS EXPECT AND WHICH EVENTS ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC VERSUS TICKETED EXPERIENCES? YEAH, AND IT’S GOOD YOU ASKED BECAUSE ALL OF THE TICKETED EXPERIENCES ARE SOLD OUT OTHER THAN THE ONE THURSDAY EVENING AT THE THEATER, WHICH I BELIEVE THERE’S LESS THAN TEN AVAILABLE FOR THAT CURRENTLY. AND THAT’S THE PETE ALONSO I’LL BE. Q&A BUT WE WILL BE DOING SOME MALL RALLIES ON SATURDAY. I WOULD ENCOURAGE FANS TO HEAD TO THOSE BECAUSE ALL OF OUR TICKETED EVENTS ARE SOLD OUT. THEY SOLD OUT WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS, AND WE HAVE SOME POP UP MEET AND GREETS W
