Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Highlights
Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Oriole Park at Camden Yards is the home stadium of the Baltimore Orioles. Located in downtown Baltimore near the Inner Harbor, the ballpark opened on April 6, 1992, taking the place of the Orioles' former home, Memorial Stadium. Designed by the Kansas City architectural firm of Helmuth, Obata and Kassabaum, Oriole Park helped inspire the construction of similar baseball-only facilities throughout the major leagues and came on the cusp of a period that saw the development of an unprecedented number of new stadiums attendance records. The ballpark's success and influence has been attributed by many to its careful blend of historic and aesthetic elements. The 48,954-capacity facility was built...  Show more »
Oriole Park at Camden Yards is the home stadium of the Baltimore Orioles. Located in downtown Baltimore near the Inner Harbor, the ballpark opened on April 6, 1992, taking the place of the Orioles' former home, Memorial Stadium. Designed by the Kansas City architectural firm of Helmuth, Obata and Kassabaum, Oriole Park helped inspire the construction of similar baseball-only facilities throughout the major leagues and came on the cusp of a period that saw the development of an unprecedented number of new stadiums attendance records. The ballpark's success and influence has been attributed by many to its careful blend of historic and aesthetic elements. The 48,954-capacity facility was built on the site of a former railroad center and sits just two blocks from the birthplace of baseball legend Babe Ruth. A large brick structure - the B&O Warehouse, eight stories high and stretching several blocks long -- serves as the backdrop beyond the right field wall on Eutaw Street. The ballpark's designers used steel, not concrete trusses, and a natural grass field, along wtih other elements that harken back to classic ballparks. Boog's Barbecue, a popular concession stand owned by ex-Oriole Boog Powell and located in right field, serves pit beef and pork sandwiches, and the former slugger can sometimes be found signing autographs for fans. Single-game and season tickets can be purchased by calling 888-848-BIRD, visiting the Orioles' Web site (www.orioles.com) or through Ticketmater outlets. Ticket prices may vary based on the opposing team.  « Show less

  1. Honoring black baseball pioneers

    Baltimore, long a center of African-American culture on the East Coast, is a natural home for the region's first Negro League baseball museum, and from a historical perspective, the Pennsylvania Avenue corridor is the perfect place to put it. The area was the center of a lively black arts and entertainment scene in Baltimore for decades, and a $4.1 million plan moving forward with the city's blessing calls for the museum to be built next to a refurbished Sphinx Club, the legendary nightclub that once hosted such celebrated jazz artists as Billie Holiday and Cab Calloway.

  7. Don't let ACORN scandal taint Catholic outreach

    As Catholic bishops prepare to gather in Baltimore for a national meeting, their most effective anti-poverty initiative is under attack. The Catholic Campaign for Human Development, which funds community organizations advocating for affordable housing, fair wages, job training and other programs that help empower low-income citizens, has faced its share of ideological critics over the last four decades. But more recent revelations that the program also funded ACORN, the scandal-plagued community organization -- as well as some groups that took positions on issues contrary to Catholic teaching -- have emboldened critics to call for an end to the successful campaign.
