Default Bowie BaySox - Prince George's Stadium

In 1993, the Orioles moved their AA affiliate from Hagerstown, MD to Bowie, MD. Bowie is still the Orioles AA affiliate.

However, Prince George's Stadium, the home of the BaySox, wasn't ready for the 1993 season. While the stadium was being finished, the Baysox played one full season (1993) at Memorial Stadium and a few series in 1994 at fields belonging to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, and the University of Maryland, College Park, as well as the minor league stadiums of the Frederick Keys and Wilmington Blue Rocks.

Prince George's Stadium opened June 16, 1994. Its capacity for baseball is listed at 10,000, but when the Double-A All-Star Game was held there in 2000, the attendance was about 14,000. Until a couple weeks ago, I was only aware of one 1994 BaySox program. You can imagine my excitement when I found a program from the opening weekend at the stadium.
