Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Construction on this classic ball field began in 1989 and was completed in 1992, when it became the official home of the Orioles. Oriole Park's Center Field rests on the former family residence of baseball star Babe Ruth. Traditional in design, the park's development was influenced by the style of early 20th century baseball parks. Steel trusses, an arched brick facade, a sun roof over the gentle slope of the upper deck, an asymmetrical playing field, and natural grass turf are just some of the features that tie Oriole Park to the big league ballparks of the early 1900s. The combination of Oriole Park's retro style and landscape of downtown Baltimore has almost doubled the number of fans attending games, and influenced the building of 13 other similar parks across the country. Tours are given daily and last 1 ½ hours. For more information: 410-685-9800
