Oriole Park at Camden Yards Guide

MLB · Baltimore

See Baltimore weekends

Last updated: 3/4/2026

Oriole Park at Camden Yards revolutionized ballpark design when it opened in 1992, and it still delivers one of baseball's best visitor experiences — the brick-and-steel architecture, the warehouse beyond right field, the sight lines from every section. Light Rail, Metro Subway, and MTA buses all reach the park, and the Eutaw Street promenade between the warehouse and the stands is open to all ticket holders. Pickles Pub across the street is the definitive pre-game stop, and staying in the Inner Harbor or Federal Hill puts the ballpark within a 15-minute walk.
