In light of the anticipated severe winter conditions affecting various regions including the southern, eastern, and mid-Atlantic areas, we have made the tough decision to cancel all Birdland Caravan events that were set to take place on Saturday, January 24. This choice was not taken lightly; it was made in collaboration with reliable meteorologists and in response to the Governor’s State of Preparedness Order. Our foremost concern is the safety and well-being of our fans, staff, players, and vendors. Furthermore, the Meet & Greet featuring the Oriole Bird and Mr. Splash at Weis Markets Bel Air, originally planned for Friday afternoon, has also been canceled.
For those who had purchased tickets for Saturday's events, which included Breakfast with the O’s and Duckpin Bowling, please check your email on Thursday for details regarding a complete refund from the Orioles.
As weather conditions are likely to hinder travel to and from Baltimore, we would like to inform you of changes to player attendance for Friday's activities:
- At the Arcade Happy Hour event hosted at GameOn, you can now expect to see Adley Rutschman and Tyler Wells.
- For Flight Night at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery, Craig Albernaz, Samuel Basallo, and Dylan Beavers will be participating.
We truly appreciate our dedicated fans who make the effort to travel great distances to support their beloved team, and we want to ensure that everyone remains safe during this storm. We strongly advise following the Governor’s recommendations for emergency preparedness, adhering to local guidelines, and visiting weather.gov for ongoing updates about the situation.
We recognize that this news is disappointing, especially since many of us were eagerly anticipating the camaraderie at each Caravan event. Nevertheless, we encourage fans to stay connected for updates on future events featuring O’s Alumni and mascots as we count down to Opening Day on Thursday, March 26, against Minnesota at 3:05 p.m.
Rest assured, we are vigilantly monitoring the weather forecasts and will provide further information if necessary.
