The grass and seats aren’t the only things green about Camden Yards.
Oriole Park on Monday became the first existing major league baseball stadium to be awarded a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification. The Orioles home joins Marlins Park in Miami as MLB’s only LEED Gold-certified ballparks — the Florida facility received Gold certification in the new construction category in 2012.
Oriole Park and the accompanying B&O Warehouse, which was awarded with LEED Silver, were honored for demonstrating year-round sustainable activities and practices, including waste management, recycling, paperless tickets, and reduced energy usage and electrical consumption.
