The Orioles aren't going anywhere. The facility is too nice, and most places that used a lot of public money to build stadiums have iron-clad VERY long term lease arrangements preventing moves; that's why the Tampa Bay Devil Rays CANNOT be moved.

The Orioles will do fine financially if they win, and will not do fine if they keep sucking.

Well, if you consider 2015 "long term". By that time, Las Vegas and other growing cities will be just dying for a club of their own .And long term prospects in Bal'more will be bleaker by comparison.

The Orioles will do fine financially if they win, and will not do fine if they keep sucking.

Take that last part and multiply by 10. With only 2.5 million people in the O's market, if they win they break even, if they lose they are going to bleed big time. .. Welcome to Baltimore's version of the Milwaukee Braves
