Oriole Park At Camden Yards

[jahallstar]

    The end of an era has come to the city of Baltimore. Three years after the beloved Baltimore Colts left the city for Indianapolis and the Baltimore Orioles came under new ownership it has been announced that a new stadium will break ground to insure that the Orioles will remain in Baltimore for years to come. The Orioles will leave Memorial Stadium and move into their new stadium.  Oriole Park At Camden Yards as the stadium will be called with be a trend setting "retro" ballpark and buck the 40 year trend of stadiums being built with multiple sports in mind. This stadium will indeed be built with the baseball viewing experience in mind. The stadium will be built just blocks away from the famous Baltimore Inner Harbor along Eutaw Street and will incorporate the historical B&O Warehouse in its plans.

    From the initial blueprints the plans are for the stadium to seat just over 62,000 fans. It will have picturesque views of the city in center field and have lush Kentucky blue grass in the outfield. In right field there will be a large scoreboard that will be 21 foot high and have a large standing room section for social gatherings during the game.  The remainder of the walls will be set at 7 feet tall leaving the possibility of plenty of long-balls in the humid Baltimore summer nights. 

    Overall this is a new beginning for the Orioles and it seemed like the right time for the birds of Baltimore to show their fans they intend on becoming a powerhouse in the AL East. For the first time this decade the Orioles have been given a shot to make the playoffs by many sports writers around the country and they are hoping that moving into their new home may help them usher in their first division title in their nearly 40 year history.
