ImageThere’s a certain buzz in the air and an unmistakable fashion statement in the crowd  on a few specific days a year at Camden Yards. Sure, the Orioles are good, so the baseline liveliness of the crowd is energetic. But add in Hawaiian shirts or floppy hats? It’s next level. It creates a home-field advantage. It made manager Brandon Hyde wish for more floppy hat giveaways in the future because of how the energy in the crowd “inspires our guys. ”The Orioles released their 2024 fan giveaway schedule Tuesday, and, never fear, there are floppy hat and Hawaiian shirt days on the schedule. There’s a whole host of other giveaways that should draw crowds, including bobblehead nights for Hyde, Mr. Splash, Gunnar Henderson, Adley Rutschman and Anthony Santander.

In addition, the Orioles announced that regular season home game tickets will go on sale to the general public on Jan. 25 at 10 a.m. Fans who are subscribed to the Orioles Insider newsletter have the chance to purchase tickets beginning Jan. 23, and they will receive a half-price discount on all April and May home games The promotions begin opening day with an Orioles rally towel available to all fans, and they continue with an Orioles hat available to all fans 14 and younger on April 14. Hyde, the reigning American League Manager of the Year, has his bobblehead night April 27, with availability for the first 20,000 fans 15 years and older.
