HOW TO PURCHASE – Call us at 888-848-BIRD
Payment must be made prior to announcement. All Scoreboard Surprises are subject to availability.
Available Dates
A number of Scoreboard messages are available for all regular season home games except Opening Day. Orders will be processed in the order in which they are received, and will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
Message Display
Your message will be displayed on Oriole Park's Scoreboard between the sixth and eighth innings during breaks. Keep an ear out for an announcement from the PA Announcer that will signal when the scoreboard messages will be displayed. Scoreboard Surprises are run in groups of 4 names per board in age order from youngest to oldest with no age listed displayed at the end. Anniversaries are run in the same order after all the Birthday messages. The Orioles also offer a small quantity of "solo" boards for $85, subject to availability. To speak with one of our Guest Services Representatives about your Scoreboard Surprise, please call 888-848-2473.
Message Content
Shared Scoreboard Surprise ($40) messages will consist ONLY of the Birthday celebrant's name or an Anniversary couple's names, and, optionally, their age or year of anniversary. No additional messaging including nicknames, proposals, or retirement announcements is permitted, and messages cannot be used for commercial purposes. Any information that is obscene, offensive, includes foul language or refers negatively to any other Major League Baseball player or organization will not be accepted. Messages may be edited to conform with required format.
Fans purchasing a Full Scoreboard message may elect to add a brief, personalized closing such as “Love, Mom and Dad” to their message.
