Highlights
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.

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.
