I love how many people have been able to see a game at Camden Yards. Some of my earliest memories are watching the progress of that stadium being built, because the company my dad worked for manufactured and installed the seating. I was lucky enough to be born soon enough to see one of the last O’s games at Memorial Stadium (as well as one of the first Ravens games) and Opening Day at Camden Yards. By the time I was in middle school, we were all watching PSINet Stadium get constructed, we called it “piss-in-it Stadium” because of a morning radio skit, M&T Bank now holds the naming lease for it.

Fed Ex Field is my least favorite stadium I’ve been to. If you’re over 5ft 6in, you’re gonna have a bad time in the stands.

Camden Yards is my favorite stadium.

Camden Yards is my favorite stadium.

Dude, it is a beautiful place to be on a nice spring day or cool summer night. The atmosphere has kinda suffered in recent years, which is part of the reason I stopped going, but I’ve heard it has gotten better since they’ve done better and are drawing more fans again. Those games used to be rough when you were looking at attendance under 20k. Just enough people to start trouble, not enough people to keep everyone in line. For a local like me, it was a respite from what the rest of the city was.

(Is casually wondering how many ppl here are from MD or close to it now lol)

When I went was when they were still bad. It was the last week of the season, my birthday (usually my birthday falls between end of season and before playoffs). My parents surprised me with tickets to the Red Sox/Orioles and when we got there the tickets were so reasonable, we actually got tickets to see all 3 games that weekend. It was Fenway Park South because it pretty much all Sox fans there. The stadium was so nice though.

But... it's getting to a point you can't take kids to parks to watch games anymore...

As far as I know, it’s just you, @Tirith, and myself.

I grew up in Massachusetts. So not far from it. I've since relocated to Florida now.

You absolutely can’t. If it’s not at-capacity, you have shitheads getting drunk and moving all over the place. If the team is doing shitty, the stands just turn into a party. If the team is doing good, the stands turn into a slightly more tolerable party.

Then, there’s the whole idea of getting there. If you drive, there’s a good chance your car will get broken into if you don’t park in one of the good garages. If you take the light rail, well, good luck. If you take an Uber, you better be good at verifying who your driver is. If you take the bus, well, good luck making it to the game.

I meant in a general sense of stadiums are all significantly overpriced, but yeah, I hear crime in Balti-nightmare has risen.

Yeah when the Orioles were bad it was Red Sox South. Same with the Yankees in town. Not so much anymore.
