The Camden Yards effect: A close look at 25 years of new ballparks

The past 25 years have been a boom period for new baseball venues. Starting with Oriole Park at Camden Yards in 1992, major league teams have opened 21 new ballparks, with another joining the list this season, when the Atlanta Braves start playing at SunTrust Park.

Although many of these parks were built in the same style as Camden Yards, all have their own quirks and attractions that make them unique. Here’s a timeline of every new ballpark that has opened since 1992. In cases where the name of a park has changed, the current name is used:
