M&T Bank Stadium
by traveldave
Home of the National Football League's Baltimore Ravens, M&T Bank Stadium was constructed in 1998 as a new home field for the Ravens. For two years prior to this stadium being built, the Ravens, an expansion team that was awarded to Baltimore in 1996, played in the 1950s-era Memorial Stadium that had been home to the Baltimore Colts before they infamously moved to Indianapolis in 1984. The aging Memorial Stadium was no longer suitable for National Football League games, and a new stadium therefore had to be built.The new stadium is considered one of the finest stadiums in the National Football League for its fan amenities, ease of access, concessions, and other features. The stadium has a seating capacity of 71,008 on five levels. Although it originally had a natural grass surface, an artificial surface was installed in 2003. M&T Bank Stadium was originally called Ravens Stadium at...
Oriole Park at Camden Yards
by traveldave
Home of major League Baseball's Baltimore Orioles, Oriole Park at Camden Yards was constructed between 1989 and 1992 to replace the antiquated Memorial Stadium where the Orioles previously played. It was the first of the "retro" ballparks that were constructed in the 1990s and early 2000s in 11 other cities across the country. These "retro" ballparks were built in the old-fashioned style of the ballparks of the late 1800s and early 1900s, and were located in intimate downtown settings. The 45,971-seat ballpark was constructed on land that once served as a rail yard for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad's Camden Station. The view from many of the seats is dominated by the historic and renovated Baltimore & Ohio Warehouse, as well as views of the Baltimore skyline.In a courtyard just off the street in front of the ballpark is a bronze statue of Babe Ruth entitled Babe's Dream.

Orioles
by DueSer
This is my entry for the continuing saga of visiting every professional baseball stadium. The Baltimore Orioles' home is at Camden Yards. I visited in June of 1999. It was one of, if not the very, first in the new ballparks that were designed to look old. This set the standard of what a park could be - not a big box or bowl but a stylish nod to the stadiums of the past that are unfortunately no longer with us.1) Arrival & DepartureI give this a 3 (on a 1-5 scale where 5 is best, 1 is shameful). It's in a busy part of town but there seemed to be ample garages to choose from and prices were fairly reasonable.2) FoodI was doing Baltimore in a quick day trip from D.C., so, in attempting to fit in as much as I could, I didn't eat lunch at the park. I'm sorry I missed it but this is Baltimore and there are a lot of restaurants to choose from. As such, no score.3) ComfortI found the stadium to...

Gotta go fishin' for crabs here!
by tpangelinan
Well I'm sure you have heard of Maryland Crabs, well if you haven't you NEED to try them, very well known around this area for being tasty and juicy! These waters are full of many types of seafood but it's the crabs you really want. Find water, then head for a marina and look for a local restaurant.
Aberdeen Iron Birds
by b1bob
The Aberdeen Iron Birds are one of the farm teams for the Baltimore Orioles. This team was moved from upstate New York and renamed to reflect Cal Ripken and Aberdeen. The nickname Iron Birds has everything to do with local hero and owner Cal Ripken, Jr. The iron pays tribute to his record breaking playing streak, the bird refers to the "birds" which locals call the Baltimore Orioles for short. The mascot is a fighter plane with the number 8 (Cal Ripken, Jr.'s number on his Orioles uniform).

Baltimore Orioles
by b1bob
The Baltimore Orioles, despite having a good team, have gone for year on year without going to the playoffs or the World Series despite recently retired Cal Ripken's 3000+ game attendance record. The stadium at Camden Yards, with its unique Baltimore charm almost rates as a must see activity.

Baltimore Ravens
by b1bob
The Baltimore Ravens are a fair to middling NFL football team. They usually have an average winning record and in January, 2001, at the end of the 2000 season, the Ravens beat the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. They were originally the Cleveland Browns who unceremoniously packed up over a stadium and financial dispute at the end of the 1995 to play from 1996 forward in Baltimore who, ironically, were victims of a sudden NFL team departure- when the Colts moved to Indianapolis. The Cleveland Browns were reconstituted in 1999 and play twice each season against the Ravens.
