MLB: Baltimore Orioles allow children with free admission to the stadium

On average, the MLB has the oldest fan base among the four major sports leagues in the USA. In order to counteract this, the Baltimore Orioles are breaking new ground: they will allow children to enter free of charge when accompanied by their parents.

Under the name of “Kids Cheer Free”, the Orioles will launch a monthly program this season, which allows paying parents to bring two children aged nine years or younger per ticket to the Oriole Park at Camden Yards. This promotion is valid in certain areas of the upper deck of the stadium.

The promotion runs from month to month, current are tickets for the period from 31. March to 29. It’s pretty cool,”Manager Buck Showalter rated the action,” No one else does that.”

Last year, after home games on Sunday, the Orioles let children run on the bases. In addition, they invited numerous Little League teams to come to the field before Sunday’s matches and meet the players.

As the Sports Business Journal reported in 2017, the average age of MLB fans in 2016 was 57 years. The NFL was 50 years old, the NHL 49 and the NBA 42 years old.
