About Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Opened in 1992, the Orioles' brick ballpark started the trend for retro-style stadiums across America. The long B&O Warehouse forms the backdrop beyond right field, and Eutaw Street is lined with plaques marking where home runs have landed. Babe Ruth was born a few blocks away.
Tip: Walk along Eutaw Street inside the ballpark to find the home-run plaques, and try pit beef or crab fries from the stands.
