Enjoy a Night Out with the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards!
Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the beautiful baseball-only facility in downtown Baltimore, became the official home of the Orioles on April 6, 1992. Camden Yards, the ninth oldest stadium in the U.S., was the first of “retro” major league ballparks constructed in the 90’s and remains the most highly praised of ballparks. The one-time railroad center is 12 minutes west by foot from the City’s Inner Harbor and only two blocks from the birthplace of baseball’s most legendary hero, George Herman “Babe” Ruth.
Join in the fun when the Baltimore Orioles play the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday, July 12th at 7:05pm. The Left Field All Inclusive Picnic Perch includes left field club seating, unlimited hot dogs, lemonade/water, ice cream bars, peanuts, and a post-game fireworks show. Cost is $35 plus a 10% service fee. For questions about accessible seating, please call 888-848-2473 and ask for the Ticket Services team.
