With the Baseball season less than 3 weeks away, there is concerns that the economy will affect the attendance at the Major League Baseball parks.

Some stadiums are raising prices, but The Baltimore Orioles are giving away Birthday presents to their fans. The team announced that any fan can get a free ticket to a game during the month of his or her birthday - except for games against the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
Free seats are in the upper part of the third deck, which cost $8 to $15.
A fan can register at www.orioles.com/birthdays and receive a voucher for a free birthday ticket. People with birthdays from January through March can get a ticket to an April game, and those born between October and December can go to a September game.
This is an excellent marketing strategy. How many fans go to the game alone? I hope that they fill the upper deck with this generous gesture, but more than anything I hope that Baltimore has a team to actually enjoy this year.
Go O's

Ellie,
This seems like a good strategy because even if a person goes alone (rare), they eat and drink while they're there. :)
