Wednesday Bird Droppings: Orioles to celebrate 30th anniversary of Oriole Park

Good morning, Birdland!

It is biased for me to say that Camden Yards is the best stadium in baseball. But it is completely fair for me to say that it is universally regarded as an elite theatre for taking in a game, and it served as a turning point in architecture within the sport.

Other, less iconic, parks were built around the same time and have already been set out to sea. Turner Field in Atlanta lasted just 20 years. The Ballpark in Arlington stood for 25 years. As far as I know, there isn’t even a whiff of replacing Camden Yards as she approaches her 30th birthday.
