Oriole Park Camden Yards
3.0 ★

Camden's biggest knock is that it shows it's age. It changed how baseball parks were built and launched an architectural revolution that can't be denied. I really enjoyed the park in spite of it lagging compared to newer stadia that it inspired

Category Ratings

Transit/Parking 4.0 ★

It's right downtown but this being our 1st park rated I wonder if I over emphasized it's downtown location. Public transit seems limited but there are parking lots around given it's proximity to M&T

Neighborhood 1.5 ★

Baltimore is rough....

History 3.0 ★

Legends park was cool but kinda underwhelming. Statues around. Pretty middle of the road

Atmosphere 3.5 ★

Even though the team was bad it was a fun ballpark to visit. Hard to not be aware of it's significance

Line of Sight 2.0 ★

I think I dinged this a little hard for it's concourses. I also think I rated it lower because Tony and Evan overrated it

Presentation/Display 4.5 ★

Maybe overcompensating again for the other 2's rating

Concessions 2.0 ★

Pretty basic. This is where Camden maybe show's its age the most

Bathrooms 3.0 ★

Not part of our scoring at the time. Don't recall

Cost/Value/Pricing 2.5 ★
Personal Enjoyment 4.0 ★

The average score doesn't really reflect it but I really liked Camden. Nothing in particular stands out but it still felt like a legend. I'm not sure I'd feel the same way if I hadn't lived through the terrible multi-use era
