How is the Friday beforehand? Would you still recommend getting seats?
This will be my first time to Baltimore so I'm looking forward to it. We're planning several trips on the way down like Gettysburg, Hershey Park and the Aqurium (sp?)

you would be seating under cover outside, those seats are to the right in this pic. Those seats are bleacher style seats (IMO small bleacher seats) there is one small tv (as you can see in the pic, its in the middle of the partition) that you usually can't see anything from b/c it's too small and there is usually always a glare on it. If you sit too high up in this section you won't be able to see the Jumbotron.
The seats i was refering to is where the people on the rail are sitting (section 1-81, the higher the number the further down the homestretch the seats) Apron Box seats. I have never sat anywhere else inside, but General Admission is probably the worst way to go, your not allowed entry to anything but inside.
As far as suburbs, i wouldn't know i live in VA.
Black-Eyed Susan day is pretty much geared towards the ladies and hats (ala kentucky oaks), usually if you purchase tickets through Pimlico you get the same tickets for BES day as well. But if you don't do that, you usually can find pretty cheap tickets on Ebay or something for the BES, people are pretty much trying to unload BES tickets b/c not many people will be there for both days
