Orioles rebidding concessions contract at Camden Yards

The Baltimore Orioles are rebidding the concessions contract at Oriole Park at Camden Yards as the team’s 12-year deal with Delaware North Cos. Sportservice is set to expire. Buffalo, New York-based Delaware North has provided food, beverage and retail merchandise services at the stadium since 2010. But that contract is set to expire on Dec. 1 and the company is currently awaiting a decision on whether it will keep the contract, said Charles Roberts, a spokesperson for Delaware North, in a statement. Given that uncertainty, Maryland Sportservice Inc., an entity linked to Delaware North, recently filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) with the Maryland Department of Labor notifying the state of a mass layoff at Camden Yards affecting 649 people that would take place on Dec. 1.
