Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Pros: Great Ballpark and feel. Good parking and excellent food.
Cons: Cal Ripken Jr. doesnt play everyday anymore.

This amazing Ballpark took 33 months to build. It became the official home of the Baltimore Orioles on April 6th, 1992. I remember hearing about how great it was and how I should make it to Camden Yards for years but it wasn’t until last year that I had ...

Pros: the atmosphere, the design, the location, the food, the game, etc.
Cons: Fans can be too polite sometimes.

I’ve been an O’s fan my whole life starting from when I was six years old and saved up my allowance to buy a little radio so that I could listen to the games as I went to sleep at night. Though my passion may have waned since then, I am still a ...

Pros: no seat is a bad seat, lots of food/drink choices
Cons: food/drinks are pricey, the crowd is TOO quiet

A lot of people may have heard about Oriole Park at Camden Yards, home of the Baltimore Orioles, being a great ballpark but unless you experience it for yourself, you never really know. The truth is that this stadium is absolutely breathtaking. And from...

Pros: CLEAN, OLD TIME FEEL
Cons: PARKING

Spring is in the air! I can hardly wait! What can be better than a beautiful spring day? The sun is shining, the tree's are starting to bloom, daffodils are springing up! The birds are making their nests, preparing for their "new arrivals"!...

Pros: Beautiful, Great Views, Comfortable Seats, Parking
Cons: Some Rude Employees, Bathrooms, O's Fans

The Stadium, and Surrounding Area In a lot of cities across North America, it seems that the professional baseball stadiums have nothing around them. You basically go to the game, and then run back to your hotel or home. Camden Yards, ...

Pros: Location, baseball feel, tour, view, no corporate name
Cons: Small club bathrooms, prices, small leg room, small monitor, Cheese steak

Last year in July I had the privilege of attending my first game at Camden Yards which had now changed it's name to Oriole Park at Camden Yards. It was also my first ever road game as a Red Sox fan. The outcome wasn't what I wanted and I ran into trouble ...

Pros: Setting, design, uniqueness, location, history
Cons: Tourist-like atmosphere sometimes brings in complacent fans as opposed to real ones

Ahh, to be an Oriole fan. Sure, we haven't seen a World Series since 1983, nor have we seen post-season action (or a winning season, for that matter) since 1997. Sure, the retirement of Cal Ripken in 2001 and the heart-breaking betrayal of Mike Mussina ...

Pros: not a bad seat, great entertainment, nice feel
Cons: not very much parking since football stadium was built

Oriole Park at Camden Yards is not just a ball park, its an experience. It starts by the place where it is built - Camden Yards. Camden Yard was a shipyard that has significant importance in Baltimore's history. You get an "old town"...

Pros: The club seats!!! They are wonderful! Eutaw Street is great to!
Cons: Lack of view from the main concourse

Parking
I am not really sure about parking here. We parked at a lot a few blocks from the stadium, near the water front. I think it cost like $12 or so. Parking around the stadium looked like it was reserved for season ticket holders. I do...

Pros: Good Location, Great Seating
Cons: None!!

WOW! This stadium is absolutely beautiful!!! We have been here probably 10 times to see the Baltimore Orioles play and as far as we are concerned no stadium could top this one. The attendants are constantly cleaning, wiping seats down, cleaning up...

Pros: good sight lines, great atmosphere for baseball
Cons: that there aren't more parks like it

Versatility, it was once the key to building a new stadium or arena. I mean imagine, throwing 200 million in to a facility that would only get prime use for one season of the year, it sounded like such a waste of money. Out of this way of thinking...

Pros: Nostaligic in appearance but contemporary in amenities. Fan friendly.
Cons: I am sure there are some, but I cannot think of any

What a pleasure it was to take my son to Camden Yard for his first pro baseball experience! There are so many things to commend the stadium that it is hard to know where to begin. Perhaps I should start with some background:

I grew up in the...

Pros: ATMOSPHERE
Cons: IT'S NOT IN ALL BASEBALL TOWNS

When is a ballpark as much fun as the game? These days that's an easy question to answer...When the ballpark is Oriole Park at Camden Yards!

Coming from New York City I have seen plenty of ballgames...But I never enjoyed being in a ballpark...

Pros: RETRO PARK! Food, no bad seats, Inner Harbor is beautiful now!
Cons: Team is in an off-three-years. No other problems here!

What a great place to see a game! I know the Orioles aren't really good and don't seem to be getting better, but hey, if you want to see some good baseball, hit up Camden Yards.

This park is located adjacent to the new Ravens Stadium and just...

Pros: Not a bad seat in the house
Cons: Exorbitant prices at concession stands

I think the best thing about Camden is the architecture of the building, with atmosphere being a close second. I have to agree with my friend healdkw that this is the best park in baseball. I have only been to about five others and the Jake in Cleveland...
