Ok guys I'm thinking of heading up to and Oriole game this weekend. Need some info if you guys can help. So I was looking at the tickets and what not. I see they have this all you can eat ticket for like 50 bucks. Are those a good deal??????? Also when you guys buy tickets does that include parking????? If not where does everyone park and how much is that????? Thanks!!!
-
uhh no clue if thats a good deal. obviously it depends on where your tickets are.
parking is not included in the ticket. you can park in a decent lot (albeit near the ghetto, but they all are) for $8 and thats on the O's/Ravens turf.
And um... I suggest Boog's BBQ.
-
whats with all the question marks and exclamation points, really annoying, you arent the only one to do it, just wondering if you have any insight into why the hell people do it
cant answer your orioles question
-
Ok got a ticket it's in section 272 upper left field. So I will have to gorge myself to get my money's worth.
-
The only "meat" item included in the AYCE deal is hotdogs. Pretty much snack food beyond that.
Boog's is pretty good but not $14 good for a few ribs.
-
How about those nachos???? Are these like rinky dink hot dogs or normal hot dogs you can get?????

Not for the ribs no, but the sandwiches are worth the $9ish for the platter with beans and coleslaw. Noms.

How about those Birds, who'da thunk they's be sitting around .500 this time of year?

Here's to hoping they don't have another 934789395 to 3 loss this year.

Should be a good weekend for a ball game.
-
Ball park food is always expensive, hell even drinks can cost an arm and a leg. I guess this is just a test experience. Either I got screwed for getting this ticket or it's worth it.
-
It's ball park food. You got screwed.
You do know that you can take your own food into the ballpark for no charge, right?

Oh great, screwed again.

brilliant statement. needs a few exclamation marks.
-
i wouldnt do $50 all you can eat unless it includes beer
-
Considering that people pay $40 to stand around with their dicks in their hand, $10 more to see a ball game and pig-out sounds like a pretty good deal.
-
Yup sounds good.

I stand and/or sit around baseball parks with a wiener in my hand all the time.
-
Oh yeah so how far is the parking from Camden? The eight buck one?

if the $40 includes all you can drink, im there
-
Not beer though, all other drinks yes.

About half a mile. Lotsa people use it so you shouldn't get lost.

I think the real question here is: If you were a hot dog would you eat yourself?
<img src="http://www.24hourforums.com/images/avatars/216.jpg" alt=" - " />
-
the o's let you bring your own food and drink in. many cheaper vendors outside. there also is a scalp free area to get tix for cheap.
-
Yeah, but who wants to deal with carrying all that crap in.
-
i traded in one of my season tickets last year for an all you can eat ticket. i ate one hot dog and was instantly full, heh. the seats are way up high, but it was fun with a bunch of friends. probably wouldn't do it again though - certainly not for $50
-
How big were the hot dogs???? One hot dog and full??? I'm a glutton so we'll see.
-
surprisingly the hot dogs are full size
plus you get all you can eat peanuts, popcorn, nachos, ice cream sandwiches and soda.
not a terrible deal. 40 dollars for a regular game. prices are increased for yankees and sox.
-
Yeah it was more then 40 for sunday because it's the Sox. I'm going to stuff some of those peanuts into my pockets for the home.
-
Obesity at it's best.
-
It's easy to carry a cooler into the game with alot of food in it (as long as it's soft sided). We go to a bunch of games every year, so we don't always buy food at the ballpark.
but, if you do, Hot dogs plus are the best dogs...on the ground level behind section 32.
The O's are scrappy this year...I love it.
Did anyone else see that their road uniforms next year will probably say "Baltimore"? cool.
-
As for parking, most of the lot stuff is ticket season holders, from what I've experienced. If we don't have a parking pass, we usually park at the first mariner arena for 10 bucks. (or drive to a light rail station)
-
Well it was alright for the all you can eat tickets. The seats weren't bad either in my opnion. I don't think I'll do that all you can eat ticket again but it was an experience. I paid 20 bucks for parking which I dont know if I got ripped off probably did as other lots are probably cheaper but didn't feel like drving around. This was the lot that was right off the exit of 52. Was it higher because it was the Red Sox??? Next thing to do is the nationals park. Now I can ride the metro for that so don't have to worry about parking. All in all decent experience for first time at Camden.
-
Yes. Everything in b'more is more expensive for the stupid red sox.
-
Of course, great.
-
So anyone want to give me tips on the nationals ballpark?
-

i dont believe this is the Red Sox fault. anyone who owns a business in Baltimore appreciates Boston and New York coming to town, you dont see 5000 people outside of pickles every Friday night do you?
-
the stadium treats red sox / yankees fans better than orioles fans...its sad.
-
Yeah, I tend to notice there was a crap load more red sox fans then orioles fans. I thought that was funny.
-
Unfortunetly, because of the O's losing seasons, the fans just aren't coming out to the games. It's sad.
I grew up an O's fan and will stay an O's fan and continue to support the team...
Boston and the Yankees have had winning seasons, so they have a bunch of fair weather fan followers. Not to mention that it's cheaper for their fans to come to B'more for the games, then to go to their own stadiums.
-
Even with $4 gas?

many of them are flying down. and have you checked out the prices of tickets to Fenway lately? Perhaps for one game its more expensive to come here, but for 3, its getting close to even. And besides, Fenway is a crap hole!!
As for "fair weather fans"....i know lots of people in Baltimore who love the Orioles but dont go to the games cause they suck and dont try to get good players. But, they say, if the Orioles got a good team, they would come back and watch.
Is that fair weather? If so, i would imagine more than half of sports fans fall into that category.
-
I think that excuse is crap. The Cubs are just starting to come around, and people didn't abandon that team.
The O's have a good team this year. Their pitching has really turned around. The bats need to wake up a little, but most all of the games this year have been great.
-
and yes, that is "fair weather".
-
thats fine, i was just asking! those are the same ppl that trash talk the city and still have Ehrlich stickers on their cars anyway. fuck em.
but i can sort of understand not wanting to pay money to see a team that sucks.
I suppose if a band i liked put out a crappy album , i might skip the next show. course, being a Boston Bruins fan means you can never call ME fairweather...

cubs fans arent baseball fans, they are sit in wrigley and drink beer fans, they dont come for the game
-
It's a nice ball park. I'm going to try and catch a Yankees game there and see how ridiculous the amount of Yankees fans there will be at the game considering it's a home game for the O's. Probably pay 30 bucks for parking this time. Great.
-
fan's are not coming out to nat's games. they should be gone in a couple of years. and dc will have a big unused stadium.
-
they nats are doing ok attendancewise. they should have more money to spend on players soon, though
-

right, but that's because of the new stadium. once people have seen the venue once or twice, it'll have to be the team that draws in the crowd. hopefully revenue from this temporary attendance bump will be re-invested in talent before it's too late...
-
Actually, Cubs fans are baseball fans. It's fun going to Wrigley b/c everyone is so into the game :)

come now. . .at least they still boo jim "i beat my wife" edmonds.
dodger fans (and most fans of l.a. teams in general), they don't know what's going on.
-
At the O's game a couple of weeks ago, I saw a guy reading an art museum program while wearing crocs.

they'll have to (and thats what i said) because they have no history here. i'm actually going to give them the benefit of the doubt here, but also remember they have all of the transplants that like to see their howntown team in the area as well
