BALTIMORE -- Headed to a Baltimore Orioles game this year? Here's what you need to know about Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
Camden Yards is home to the three-time World Series champion Baltimore Orioles. The stadium opened 30 years ago in 1992 at an estimated cost of $110 million. Camden Yards has a capacity of 45,971 with the installation of club level and upper deck seating.
Oriole Park at Camden Yards sits adjacent to M&T Bank Stadium, home to the two-time Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens.
Orioles fans can enjoy the latest in technology, including high-definition video screens, along with some new amenities when they visit the ballpark.
It's been an eventful offseason for the team with the death of longtime owner Peter Angelos, the sale of the team to David Rubenstein and the approval of a long-term lease extension. Now, it's time to focus on the diamond.
The Orioles finished spring training with a 23-6 record. Now they're back in Baltimore under new ownership to defend their hard-won American League East title.
In 2022, the field underwent its first major change in decades with an extension of the left-field wall.
