Claiming conduct by the City of Aberdeen in recent years has made operating Ripken Stadium “unbearably difficult,” the company that owns the Aberdeen IronBirds has filed suit accusing the city of not living up to the terms of an agreement made nearly 20 years ago.
Tufton Professional Baseball LLC, owned by baseball great and Aberdeen native Cal Ripken Jr. and his family, filed the complaint against the City of Aberdeen on Wednesday in Harford County Circuit Court.

Tufton had given the city until close of business Tuesday to respond to a letter it sent last week stating that Ripken’s company should take over management of non-baseball events at the stadium because the city had not fulfilled its obligations to upgrade the city-owned ballpark.
