Five dollars from every ticket purchased will be used to support an HBCU initiative. The school with the most ticket sales will be honored by having their president take part in the ceremonial first pitch.

The game on Sept. 6 will be against the Tampa Bay Rays. It will give students, alumni, faculty, staff and supporters the opportunity to pay homage to historical institutions and celebrate HBCU culture. 

There will be special performances from Morgan State University’s marching band, The Magnificent Marching Machine, and Bowie State’s marching band, Symphony of Soul. 

Students from other HBCUs in the area, including Coppin State University, Howard University and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, are invited to join the Orioles for a special night.

To purchase tickets please visit Orioles.com/HBCU.
