That’s not intended to be a knock on other great ballparks.
I haven’t been to Oracle Park in San Francisco.
I’ve been to PNC Park in Pittsburgh and it is awesome.
I can completely understand why it would be someone’s favorite.
For me though, Camden Yards has been the best place to watch a baseball game.
The thing that I appreciate the most about the park is the care that went into every element.
There is so much history (both obvious and unique) in every nook and cranny of this park.
Maybe like Grady at the Overlook Hotel, they’ve always been there.
No other stadium does a better job honoring its all-time great players.
I just wish it wasn’t so high up and hard to read the top row.
I also like when they are plaques similar to those in Cooperstown.
This is one of the rare team history things the Mets do well.
They have great team HOF plaques.
My only knock on Camden Yards would be that the food isn’t great.
I’ve had Boogs BBQ and it’s…fine.
I’ve had it twice and found it pretty dry.
This is huge edge over Citizens Bank Ballpark or Citi Field.
There are also a ton of great hotels nearby too.
The area around the park is another huge plus.
It’s like walking through a museum.
There is so much cool signage and memorabilia throughout.
They even have a great All-Star Game area to honor the ASG’s that Baltimore has hosted.
I love this place so much.
How great is Camden Yards?
I just watched my Mets get the baseball version of getting drawn and quartered by the Orioles.
I was at all three games and the Mets lost by a combined score of 19-6.
James McCann had 5 RBI’s on Friday night.
Walter Mondale had a better shot in 1984 than the Mets did this weekend.
Despite all of this, I still had a good time being at Camden Yards watching baseball.
It’s about time that such a great place had a team worthy to enough to call it home.
