John P. Angelos is the Executive Vice President of the Baltimore Orioles, a position he has held since April 1999, leading the club's front office and overseeing day-to-day business operations. He also serves as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN), overseeing the network's business operations. Angelos is the elder son of Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos.
Angelos is a graduate of Duke University and received his J.D. from the University of Baltimore School of Law.
For more than fifteen years, Angelos has managed the day-to-day business operations of the Baltimore Orioles overseeing marketing and advertising, branding and promotion, major corporate sponsorship sales and ticket sales, governmental and public affairs, media and public relations, ballpark facility design and management, event operations, concessions rights negotiation and self-operation.
Beginning as early as 2005, Angelos served as a lead negotiator with various Florida communities over renovating the team's facility in Fort Lauderdale and ultimately relocating Orioles’ spring training to Sarasota. Throughout the five-year process, Angelos and the organization fielded offers from at least four cities in Florida for the Orioles new spring training home. Initial efforts were focused on renovating the Orioles’ existing facility in Fort Lauderdale. Facing setbacks in negotiations, Angelos and the Orioles turned to Fort Myers, Sarasota, and Vero Beach. On November 12, 2008, Sarasota, Florida made a $30 million offer to the Orioles. Additionally, Vero Beach, Florida made a formal offer to the Orioles on November 17, 2008. On July 22, 2009, the Orioles announced an agreement with Sarasota, Florida to move spring training operations to Ed Smith Stadium for 2010.
As a key facet of the public-private partnership with Sarasota, Angelos developed a unique “sisterhood city” integrated marketing approach to capitalize on the power of the Baltimore Orioles and Major League Baseball to create economic impact through tourism incubation for the city. The approach utilizes the Orioles’ multiplatform media assets to market Sarasota to consumers in the Mid-Atlantic region year-round. According to the Sarasota Convention and Visitors Bureau, visits and inquiries from Mid-Atlantic residents have increased by double-digits since the partnership began. The partnership was recognized by industry publication Sports Business Journal for providing the “marketing muscle” necessary to generate the tourist dollars that are “more important than ever to making the spring training business equation work.” In late 2013, the Tampa Bay Business Journal heralded the results of the partnership in a cover story, describing the deal as a home run for Sarasota’s tourism industry.
