Oriole Park At Camden Yards

A beautiful baseball park that is worth a visit if the O’s are in town when you are in the Charm City. They have Boog’s BBQ (which is OK) but the ambiance and atmosphere are great.

Absolutely amazing. I have been to several different ball parks but Camden Yards was one of my top five. The atmosphere was fantastic, the locals were friendly, the game I saw was by far the best I had seen yet and our seats were great. Camden yards if full of history, brick paved walk ways, knowledgeable and helpful staff and a true ball park experience,

One of the best stadiums in the country!
Love that you can walk in and experience more of a «historic» feel brick paved street leading into the stadium.
Along the walk in, you can buy gear. It is really clean and beautiful!
The seats and the view was great!
My managers and I enjoyed a wonderful summer night watching the Orioles play the Rangers!

This is Camden Yards… how could it get anything less than five stars? I can not possibly speak highly enough of this place. It is stunning and always an absolute blast. The employees here do everything in their power to ensure the best experience for fans. I had a wonderful conversation with one of the employees there and he said he had been there for over 20 years and never tires of his job. How about that?! He recalled the night at Camden Yards when Cal Ripken, Jr. broke Lou Gehrig’s record of consecutive games played. What a night that would have been!
I’ve been to a number of MLB parks and Camden Yards is truly one of a kind. With the B&O Warehouse and Eutaw Street in plain sight, it makes for a one of a kind experience.
There are a huge array of concessions at the park. There’s truly something for everyone. The only somewhat negative experience I had while at the park was getting food. The taco stand, that I had ordered from, was very, very, behind on food orders, and all the employees were stressed. Can’t say I blame them all that much, really.
Coming from a die-​hard Pittsburgh Pirates fan, I have to say you truly can’t go wrong at Camden Yards!

Quick Review™
+ Great atmosphere; ultimately friendly locals; and, a gorgeous, modern — yet very historic-​looking and feeling — ballpark.
+/​-​Beer is not cheap.
— N/​A. No real negatives, except maybe an interaction with BPD. One may end up dead after a run-​in with one of those idiots.
Employee of Excellence™
The unnamed guy at the box. He recognised a military ID and gave us a discount without request. You’re the real MVP, kid.
In A Sentence™
Camden is the shit; R.I.P. Wild Bill Hagy!

There isn’t much more to say (write). Camden is one of many ballparks on my quest to visit all of the American parks. It’s obviously in Baltimore and it was fun as hell to enjoy the nationally televised game with all the fans. (They won.)
Pro Tip:
Show up early if you actually want one of the free promotional straw cowboys hats honouring Wild Bill Hagy.
Pro Tip:
8 $ parking at the American football/​concussionball stadium lot. Beer is more expensive.
Pro Tip:
Don’t drink and drive.

Rating: Five-​stars, «Woohoo! As good as it gets!»

Camden knocks it out of the park!
No other words are necessary for such a great and classic experience.

Behind the original Tiger Stadium and Wrigley, this is my new favorite park. Loved it here. Hot as hell in August, and not as empty as my last summer trip to Safeco, but still not as filled as I’d like to have seen. Our seats were cheaper and the view still fantastic. The area around Camden though everyone said was sketchy, is absolutely fine. Our train was late from DC so we didn’t hit any bars in the area prior to the game, but there were many around. The entrance is filled with numbers of former players, and the park area is spacious enough to walk around without feeling like a cow in a herd. Ticket taking and purse/​bag search was quick and efficient, and exit was just as quick. Tip: if you check in on the MLB app and head to fan services, you get a t shirt, certificate, and history book of the park and the O’s. If you like that sort of thing.

This summer I had the rare experience of getting to Camden Yards not once — but twice! I still catch myself daydreaming about the two glorious nights I spent there. I grew up an Orioles fan in Bethesda, MD but slant much more heavily Nationals now and go on the road to see them like a 12-​year-​old groupie. Still — I’m pretty much convinced there isn’t a sports experience around that can at all compete with Camden Yards.
You know all about the Warehouse, and Boog’s, and Eutaw Street. What I found most enjoyable about my experience this summer at Camden Yards is that they take out all the public address hoopla you get at sporting events — and leave it for the loud, obnoxious, «mmake summmm noooyyssse» NBA. There also isn’t any tedious woo the kids antics like what you get in Cincinnati at Great American Ballpark. At Camden Yards, the approach is, «Come out, get something great to eat, enjoy the scenery, buy something cool to take home as a souvenir… and cheer for the Orioles.» None of this hokey stuff from wwwaaayyyy ovveerrrr the tttoooppp PPPP-​AAA guy! In fact, I barely noticed him. Camden Yards is so majestic — it doesn’t need anything else to leave sports fans completely in awe.
This is out of Camden’s control but understand that if you come in for a Friday game, it’s going to be chaos and parking is a chore. The traffic up 95 was insufferable. Make sure to park by the Ravens stadium, getting in and out is easy peasy — and you can snag a hot dog, chips, and bottled water for way cheap from a vendor for the road on the way out.

A beautiful ballpark. Tickets down first base line are absolutely affordable. The views are great. The Orioles have a great fan base. They have some of their own traditions, which is neat.
5* experience. Great park and great location. Home to one day return.

Heard about how important it is to attend an Orioles game while I was in Baltimore. Being from Chicago, my first thought was, «A home baseball team that wins? What’s that?»
Jokes aside, the stadium and vibe are really fun and the team wins! What’s more fun than that? I came for a Yankees game and we got really good seats for so cheap. We were able to bring in food from the little street vendor outside and we got even more awesome food and drinks inside.
As the game continued, we walked around the stadium, checked out the bar on the bleacher side with the «rooftop,» and saw the little statues, memorabilia from this historical team. The fans were hardcore and I understand since the O’s whooped Yankee ass that night.
If I ever had to return to Baltimore, I’d make sure an Oriole game was at the top of my list. You should too.

How could this not be a 5 star experience? Camden Yards started it all and moved the fan experience from those awful «cookie cutter» stadiums and into a more intimate experience with beautiful sight lines. I really love how they have incorporated the old B&O Warehouse.
A gorgeous ballpark and it’s hard to believe that they are approaching their 25 year anniversary. I also love the Standing Room only section along Eutaw street. I often just head up there to catch a few innings and drop in Dempseys for a breather.
A great ballpark that offers a fan friendly experience and just steps from downtown…

Being that I’m a born and raised in the great state of NY and am married to one of the biggest Yankee fans ever — what I’m about to say might sound a little sacrilegious…
I went to my first Oriole’s game at Camden Yards recently and had an awesome time.
For starters — the ballpark is beautiful and I loved the old school charm of the building and all that brick around it. Ticket prices are so reasonable and parking is not only convenient but darnright cheap at $ 8 (comparing it to Yankee Stadium…).
But even more that I loved the atmosphere. I loved all the orange, the fans who shouted «O!!!» during The National Anthem and the cheers throughout the entire game. It’s hard not to get wrapped up in all of it during the game. One of the best major league baseball experiences I’ve had.

Hello childhood! It had been probably 20 years since I’d last been to Camden Yards, and it hasn’t changed a bit. This is what a baseball stadium should be like. Beautiful, open views of the city (which okay, so it’s Baltimore, but so pretty to see the sky!), I have always loved how the design incorporates the warehouse, and the pervasive smell of Esskay franks cooking.
I teared up when they played «Thank God I’m a Country Boy», because it reminded me so much of being there with my dad as a little kid. It’s just everything that a baseball stadium should be. Prices are on-​par with other sports arenas, but I will say I was impressed with their selection (though it almost killed me to pay that much for Boh).
Look, even if you aren’t an O’s fan, go to Camden Yards if you get the chance. It’s magnificent.

As a Yankees fan, it’s always hard going to AL East rival ballparks, but this was one of the parks that I was absolutely looking forward to seeing in person! Despite all the hype and the great reputation it had, the ballpark absolutely lived up to the billing of one of the most beautiful ballparks in America. Everything I’ve seen on TV looked even cooler in person, especially the warehouse in right field.
We got to the ballpark quite early, at around 2 hours prior to game time, and there were already hoards of fans standing outside center field. As expected, everyone was just about decked out in orange and black. As for the stadium, I absolutely loved the outdoor walkway behind center field in front of the warehouse. In fact, we witnessed many fans watching the game from there when we were leaving. As we entered the actual stadium, where all the concession stands were, we noticed all the picnic areas that fans could eat at. That was a major plus because it’s always tough finding seats to eat at.
Out of all of the ballparks I’ve been to, I have to say this was probably my favorite so far. Everything about this stadium screamed «America’s Past Time».

While I’m not a fan of the O’s, I can say that Camden Yards has such a fun, young vibe to it.
When you come you have to try the Chesapeake fries, which are waffles fries with crab dip on top. And then grab a frozen limearita to wash it down. They have lemonade and strawberry flavors, but ask for swirl. I saw a stand on the first floor and the third floor.
Student nights are on Fridays, with tickets selling for about $ 6-​$ 7. They’re way up in the nosebleeds but still a lot of fun!

Finally. This is why we came to Baltimore: Baseball at the historic Camden Yards.
We arrived at 6:30 for a 7:15 tipoff… I mean, kickoff… wait… I’ll get it… coin toss… first pitch. Yeah, that’s it. Getting here early gave us a good chance to walk all the way around the place to see the concession stands and figure out what we’re having for dinner. Unlike some parks, the concession stands behind the seats have no view of the ballpark at all. They have a couple TV’s scattered about so that you’re not *completely* missing the game when you go for food.
We had great seats in right field in the front row of the stands. Great view from there and the seats were angled perfectly at home plate. Lots of information boards updated constantly with the scores at other games, the speed of the pitch, the current count and whatnot. Decent fan interaction from the music boards and the mascot, but not as much as I’ve seen at some minor league parks. Sound quality was excellent.
Food options were pretty good, but after you’ve walked past one hot dog or sausage place, you’ve seen them all. The good stuff is over on Eutaw Street. Try the «gourmet» hot dog folks — they put mac & cheese ON THE HOT DOG. OMG.
Also, the pretzels aren’t twisted. They’re shaped like O’s. As in Orioles. Very cute!
The park is very nice with low seating that’s just about on the grass and close to the game action.

Absolutely love everytime I take a trip to Camden Yards.
Pros– tons of different food options, different meals with crab meat, across the st are vendors that sell grilled food and crabcakes for a great cheap price, you can stand by the bullpen in left center and the RF scoreboard located at Eutaw St and not one security guard will bother you like other stadiums. Everyone always seems to be into the game, beautiful picnic area, and above all the ticket prices are a steal
Cons — I’m not able to make more games lol

Section 45 Row 1, Seats 1 & 2 perfect view of the entire field and no distractions with other tall fans sitting directly in front and blocking my view.
I had the opportunity to do a little recon online of Eater.com’s article
–so my go-​to ballpark snack here is The Chipper’s regular size Crab Chipper, topped with jalapeños and Heinz Hot Sauce (condiment offered by the hot Dog vendor). Located in Section 68. I believe other vendor’s offer waffle fries; however, the kettle chips provided a crunch to the lump crab meat for the perfect bite. I’m not much of a beer drinker and there appears to be a lot of vendors offering beer, but I was glad I found Apple Cider.
With visiting different MLB ballparks, I seem to find that one dish that hits the spot.

The wait to get into the park was horrible as only 2 tunnels were open for the Field Trip Day for all area kids! However all outside gates were open. It took nearly and hour and a half just to get to the tunnel.
Food is decent prices compared to all other ballparks and stadiums and restrooms were clean.

If you are a fan of baseball, or just a fan of sitting around drinking beer, (like I am,) then Camden Yards is one of the finer baseball stadiums to do it in.
I visited last summer, for an Orioles vs Blue Jays game with some Canadian friends. I had no particular loyalty to either team, so it was a lot of fun for me. Some of the best seats are along the third baseline, where you can avoid getting broiled by the afternoon sun. Camden Yards has totally embraced the craft brewing scene, so you can get great beets from Flying Dog, DuClaw and Heavy Seas.
My only little complaint is that parking is a bit of a nightmare, and so is traffic. We almost got in an altercation with locals because I made the mistake of being impatient and basically running a red light to get across an intersection we’d been waiting at for over 20 minutes. Not something I would recommend anyone do. Other than that, it was a great experience in one of the country’s finest sports arenas.
