📖About Oriole Park at Camden Yards

🎟️Visitor Guide

Best Seats

The lower bowl (sections 16-58) provides the quintessential Camden experience. For a unique view, the "Bird's Eye" seats in the upper deck offer a great perspective of the field and the B&O Warehouse.

Parking Tips

Parking on-site is limited; many fans use garages in the Inner Harbor. The Light Rail (Camden Station) stops directly at the stadium and is the most convenient option.

Game Day

Stroll down Eutaw Street and look for the bronzed home run markers in the pavement. Don't miss Boog's BBQ, a stadium institution, where Orioles legend Boog Powell is often seen greeting fans.
