The Baltimore Orioles are planning to stay at the Oriole Park in Camden Yards for a long time.

The team announced on the scoreboard between innings during their game against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday, September 28, that the Orioles and Maryland Governor Wes Moore have come to terms on a fresh 30-year lease agreement, ensuring that the team will continue to call Camden Yards their home. 

The new lease comes as the current one was on track to expire at the end of this year on December 31. 

"The Baltimore Orioles are an institution and an irreplaceable member of the collective family that makes up Charm City," Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said in a statement

The agreement also includes a provision for two five-year options, potentially extending the Orioles' tenure at Camden Yards into the 2060s. 

The team has been based in Baltimore since 1954, and they have played in Camden Yards since the 1992 season.
