The Orioles set a new Opening Day record for Camden Yards attendance today, bringing in 48,891.
That breaks last year's Opening Day record crowd of 48,607.
They also may have come close to a record for people arriving after the first inning, zeroing in on the mark achieved by the Los Angeles Dodgers fans every game day from April to September.
It didn't look like Camden Yards would be jammed at, say, 2:30 or even first pitch at 3:07 p.m. But by about the third, the announced sellout looked legit.
