Over the past year, the Orioles have invested nearly $23 million in team funds in a state-of-the-art player performance center at the Ed Smith Stadium Complex, representing the club’s on-going commitment to their Spring Training home. The 2027 season will mark Baltimore’s 18th Spring Training season in Sarasota.

In the 17 years since the Orioles moved Major League Spring Training operations to Sarasota, nearly 1.6 million fans have enjoyed Spring Training baseball at Ed Smith Stadium. In addition, the Orioles host a myriad of special events throughout the year – including youth sports tournaments, arts and entertainment programs, and charitable activations – helping to generate more than $762.9 million in economic impact in the state of Florida since 2015. Beyond economic impact, the Orioles have provided more than $4.4 million to local Sarasota organizations through cash donations and in-kind contributions. The team has made it a priority to help combat food insecurity, empower the youth of the community, provide arts and educational resources for local children, and help when the community needs them the most through baseball clinics and the annual Orioles Health & Fitness Challenge. The Orioles partner with All Faiths Food Bank to host food collections throughout the year, and Ed Smith Stadium is used for their annual “ThankFULL” Turkey Distribution, providing local families in need with necessary food prior to the holidays. Last Spring Training, the Orioles continued to partner with numerous local non-profits, encouraging fans to assist them in giving back to their Spring Training home.
