Oriole Park at Camden Yards (#5)

Angels vs. Orioles
Orioles Win 3-0


Hats off to the friendliest fans I have seen on our tour of stadiums! Camden Yards is a great modern park with a classic feel. Everything was very clean, and the 43,000+ fans seemed to really enjoy the game. The stadium was neat both inside and out and fit in well with the out buildings in Baltimore. It is definitely a place I want to return to.

We saw a good game, Chris Hoiles hit a homer. It seems like everywhere we go, there is always someone cheering for the visiting team, but this time I was really surprised. About 10 seats over was a person cheering for and decked out in Angels' stuff. If he was from the Anaheim area, he is quite a dedicated fan. I guess the reason this was surprising is because the Angels aren't a team that gets into the national spotlight very often.
