Resulting from a successful public-private partnership, Prince George's Stadium is located just south of the Rts. 301 and 50 interchange, at Green Branch Community Park. Prince George's Stadium is home to the Bowie Baysox, Class AA affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles. The franchise has developed a number of successful ballplayers who have moved on to play in the major leagues.
