Oriole Park at Camden Yards stadium

Architecture & History

Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened in 1992 and revolutionized stadium design. It was the first retro-style ballpark, proving that a modern facility could honor baseball's architectural traditions while incorporating the surrounding urban fabric.

The B&O Warehouse, an 1,116-foot-long former railroad warehouse beyond right field, is the longest building on the East Coast and has never been reached by a fair ball.

Insider Tips

01

The One Thing

Walk Eutaw Street between the B&O Warehouse and the park before the game. The home run markers in the pavement show where balls hit the warehouse facade during Home Run Derby contests.

02

The Local Beer

Natty Boh — National Bohemian — is the cultural beer of Baltimore. It's a light American lager, it's cheap, it's everywhere, and drinking one at Camden Yards is correct. Heavy Seas Loose Cannon is the upgrade.

03

Arrive Early

Boog Powell's pit beef stand in the right field picnic area is worth the arrival time. Eat a pit beef sandwich and a cup of Natty Boh before the gates open.

04

Stay Late

The B&O Warehouse is lit from below after dark, turning from red brick to amber. The view of the warehouse from the field level right field seats at night is the definitive Camden Yards image.

05

Parking Reality

MARC train from BWI or Union Station drops you directly at Camden Station, which is part of the ballpark. This is the correct way to arrive.

06

Best Value Seat

Upper deck along the first base side, Sections 340–355. The view includes the full park, the B&O Warehouse, and the Baltimore skyline beyond left field.
