Other favorites, including Ekiben, Attman’s Delicatessen, The Local, South Mountain Creamery and Deli-Ish, will be available during select homestands as part of the Camden Commons program, which rotates in local restaurants throughout the season.

Checkerspot owner and brewer Judy Neff said the change is being made out of respect for the Angelos family in light of the patriarch’s death.

On Thursday at Camden Yards, the Orioles will begin their quest for a more satisfying end to 2024 than last season’s playoff sweep at the hands of the Rangers.
