Notes: Orioles hit 40-year attendance low in wet, losing 2018 season

A miserable season of weather during which the Orioles lost a major league-high and franchise-record 115 games led to the lowest attendance since the club opened Camden Yards in 1992 — 1,564,192 — albeit with 78 home dates as opposed to the traditional 81.

The only sellout of the season came with a crowd of 45,469 on Opening Day on March 29 against the Minnesota Twins, but a cold April and a slow start to the season made it difficult to draw the rest of the way. The Orioles’ April 9 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays before an announced 7,915 was the smallest crowd in Camden Yards history and one of seven crowds below 10,000 this season.
