About Oriole Park in Maryland
Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened in 1992 to replace the Baltimore Orioles’ previous home venue, Memorial Stadium. The ballpark has been largely funded by Maryland taxpayers, with $1.3 billion in construction costs so far offset by taxpayer dollars; the Orioles asked for another $600 million to continue stadium renovation efforts.
The biggest motivation for investment into building Oriole Park was the fear of losing the baseball team after the Baltimore Colts departed for Indianapolis in 1984. Construction plans began almost immediately, though it took until 1989 before workers broke ground on construction.
Oriole Park has a capacity of 49,828, though standing-room-only areas could push the number over 50,000. Since opening, it has hosted the third-most fans of any MLB stadium, trailing Yankee Stadium in New York and Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
Aside from MLB games, Oriole Park has hosted many concerts. It was also the site of a Papal Mass in 1995 when Pope John Paul II visited Baltimore.
