This
is a lovely park! We saw two games against the Yankees on a
weekend in August as games #7 and #8 of our Baseball Roadtrip.
The park was buzzing with Yankee fans, and folks supporting
both teams were loud in their chanting but gracious to the
opposition. 40% of Orioles annual attendance comes from games
with Yanks and Red Socks -- so you can imagine the excitement.
Fans were really energetic, and got ?the wave? going at a
speed that was unbelievable. We sat in 200 level seats (Club
Level) where they have menus and waiters bringing your food
and drink, as well as numerous semi-upscale options if you
don?t mind getting out of your seat. The 2nd night, we sat in
field level seats that were equally as cool. Seating was a bit
tighter than the Club level, but views were crystal clear of
the stadium, the warehouse building and Baltimore Skyline. We
took the ballpark tour (reserved ahead) and our guide, Mary,
was incredible. A Baltimorion and obsessive fan, she spouted
facts about the town, the park, the hall of famers and Babe
Ruth that were really entertaining. For example, did you know
that there are two owls in the stadium to help keep annoying
birds away --- look for them, they are always
there.
Great game in a
great ball park. I think...

As
a European, it's a must to see a baseball game, and Camden
Yards was a great place to see it. It is clean and orderly and
has a great selection of food and drinks for the game. The
seats were good, and the show and everything around quite
fascinating. I had the rules explained to me by an American
friend and by the end of the game I understood most of what
was going on. Except the 7th inning stretch. That was strange.
If you're driving, sign up as a designated driver and get two
free drinks.
Excellent
for a first ballgame

OK,
OK so we're tourists from Europe. It was my first ballgame and
what a venue to have it in! I can safely say that I still have
no clue what the rules are exactly, but from the perspective
of a first timer - we had a remarkably exciting evening. The
stadium itself looks fairly new, I'm sure someone can fill in
on the details. If you throw a stone, you'll hit a food
concession. On every of its three levels. I suppose at the end
of the day, you go there for the baseball not so much for the
architecture. The atmosphere at a ballgame is incredible,
fascinating for us, we didn't know the cheers, the songs or
the jeers, but the little girl (5/6?) sitting behind us
certainly did and she epitomises the spirit of the game that
evening. What I also enjoyed was being able to wander around
the stadium while play was on and checking out the different
seating areas and angles of view. I took a TON of pics that
night. The Orioles lost that night.
A must see for any
visitor.

I
was lucky enough to be able to attend an Orioles ballgame at
Camden Yards on July 5th, 2008. I would have to say this was
the highlight of my trip, other than seeing my daughter of
course. I got four tickets from a season ticket holder at a
very good price, I even got a parking pass to lot "A" which is
right next to the stadium. We were in section 60 row CCC which
is the third row off the field and beyond third base. The
seats were smaller than I thought they would be with no cup
holders but we managed. You kinda have to turn your head to
actually watch the batter do his thing, we suffered no stiff
necks though. Before the game we headed to Boog's BBQ to see
if the man himself was there, no such luck. We had to settle
for just the BBQ which was great. Since I had the season
tickets we headed for our seats 30 minutes before the non
season tickets holders can. Just an added plus for the season
ticket holders. As is probably every major league ballpark the
prices for everything was terrible. Beer was $6.50, a small
ice cream was $4.50......... I could go on and on. Even though
the O's lost to Texas we had a great time and will do it again
when we go back. If you can work it into your schedule a trip
to Camden Yards is worth the time.
Great place to see a

My
husband and I were at Camden Yards on May 29th and June 1st.
It is a great place to see a ballgame, especially if you are a
Red Sox fan, which we are. We would definitely go back
again.
