Orioles Set To Host Unprecedented Game In Empty Ballpark

Today's White Sox-Orioles game at an empty Camden Yards "will be available on MLB.TV" and will be "televised locally by the teams' respective regional sports networks." An MLB game being closed to the public "has never happened before" (MLB.com, 4/28). White Sox GM Rick Hahn said, "It's going to be an interesting experience, a little bit different, but obviously from a safety standpoint it makes sense. Also it helps potentially relieve some of the log jams later in the season in terms of makeup games" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 4/29).

Meanwhile, tickets go on sale today "at the usual outlets" for this week's Rays-Orioles series, which has been moved to Tropicana Field. Tickets "will be general admission, $15 on Friday and Sunday and $18 on Saturday" (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 4/29).
