WHAT A WEEKEND IT WILL BE FOR DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE. EVERYTHING JUST CLICKED. AND LIKE THE CITY’S LIKE ON FIRE. AND IT’S THAT FIRE THAT WILL BRING FLOCKS OF FANS TO CAMDEN YARDS TO WATCH THE ORIOLES TAKE ON THE TEXAS RANGERS THIS SATURDAY RIGHT AFTER THAT, THE BILLY JOEL AND STEVIE NICKS CONCERT GETS UNDERWAY AT BANK STADIUM. THE CITY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SAYS THAT ROAD CLOSURES WILL START AT 10 A.M. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FOR THE GAME. UTAH STREET FROM PRATT STREET TO CAMDEN STREET, CAMDEN STREET FROM HOWARD TO RUSSELL STREETS, HAMBURG STREET, FROM RUSSELL TO LEADENHALL STREETS AND HOWARD STREET. FROM PRATT TO CONWAY STREETS WILL ALL BE CLOSED. PARKING RESTRICTIONS TAKE EFFECT AT 10 A.M. THE RAVENS SAY THAT SHARED PARKING LOTS WILL OPEN FOR CONCERT GOERS WHO PRE-PURCHASED STADIUM PERMITS AT 530. THAT’S LED TO QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER SOME PEOPLE WHO PARK FOR THE O’S GAME CAN STAY IN THOSE SPOTS FOR THE CONCERT, TOO. SO FAR, SOURCES TELL 11 NEWS THAT QUESTION REMAINS UNANSWERED, CAUSING CONCERN ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR OVERLAP. I’M WORRIED ABOUT PEOPLE JUST USING THIS AS A DEFAULT POSITION COMING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM AND WORRIED ABOUT THE CITY AND HOW THEY’RE GOING TO ENFORCE IT. ARE THEY GOING TO TOW PEOPLE? LARRY WEXLEY’S PLANS TO ATTEND BOTH EVENTS. LUCKILY, HE LIVES IN THE AREA, BUT HE’S CONCERNED ABOUT WHETHER THE PARKING CONFUSION WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS. THEY’RE GOING TO GET FRUSTRATED AND CONFUSED AND JUST SAY, THAT’S IT, WE GOT A SPOT. WE’RE GOING TO GRAB IT. SO THAT’S WHAT I’M CONCERNED ABOUT. IF YOU WANT TO DITCH DRIVING, MTA IS EXPECTING HEAVY RIDERSHIP AND WILL BE USING ALL LIGHT RAIL VEHICLES AND SUPPLEMENTING THEM WITH EXPRESS SHUTTLE BUSSES. IN A STATEMENT THIS EVENING, MAYOR BRANDON SCOTT SAYS, QUOTE, THE EOC IS ACTIVATED AND ALL CITY AGENCIES ARE WORKING IN CLOSE COORDINATION WITH STATE AGENCIES, BOTH SPORTS TEAMS, ORGANIZATIONS AND RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE THE DAY IS HANDLED SAFELY. AND THE RAVENS SAY THAT IF ANY UNPREDICTABLE CIRCUMSTANCES HAPPEN DURING THE O’S GAME, SUCH AS WEATHER DELAYS OR EXTRA INNINGS, THEN THE OPENING OF THOSE CONCERT LOTS WILL BE POSTPONED AND THEY PLAN ON EMAILING TICKET HOLDERS. REPORTING LIVE HERE AT CAMDEN YARDS KHIREE STEWART WBAL-TV 11 NEWS KHIREE. THANK YOU. AND THOSE AREN’T THE ONLY TWO EVENTS EXPECTED TO DRAW CROWDS THIS WEEKEND. LISTEN TO THIS. ROAD CLOSURES ARE ALSO EXPECTED FOR THINGS LIKE THE FELLS POINT FUND FESTIVAL. THAT’S TOMORROW THROUGH SUNDAY. THE ITALIAN HERITAGE FESTIVAL ON SATURDAY IN LITTLE ITALY AND THE BALTIMORE TACO FESTIVAL. THAT SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, A POWERPOINT POWER PLANT LIVE.
