Orioles not raising season ticket prices

It would seem to go without saying that when your team finishes last in its division for the first time since 1988 (Reagan was still president, guys and gals) that you wouldn't think of charging even more for your product. Well, fiscal sanity has seemingly struck the Orioles.

The price of Orioles season tickets at Camden Yards will remain the same for 2009. Orioles director of communications Greg Bader confirmed yesterday that season-ticket invoices have been mailed and there are no price increases. Individual tickets go on sale in January. The Orioles raised ticket prices for select seats before last season, marking the first hike in several seasons.

Another move made by the FO to please the fans.

I hate to say this

but I think this has less to do with placating the fans and more to do with the economy grinding to a halt. I heard on the radio the other day that over half of the NBA teams are losing money every time they play.

"When they get drafted by the Baltimore Ravens, we expect them to play like that. Are we surprised? No."
