The Rangers have also said they would give up the name rights (so I've heard).

My opinion:

As a baseball fan - Great move. DC has a tradition of baseball. The Orioles gain a rivalry for interleague games. If the stadium deal goes through like planned, a great setting.

As an Oriole fan - Terrible move. The Orioles could lose anything from 15-30+% of their revenue, depending on who you believe. Peter Angelos is doing everything he can to make it so that the Orioles are hurt as little as possible by this, and I applaud him for it.

As you can see, I'm slightly torn on the issue
