Top Five Digital Ballparks: #3 Camden Yards

[RaychelSnr]

When Camden Yards opened in 1992, it was a revolutionary ballpark in the sense that it returned baseball to its roots. Gone were the days of lifeless cookie cutter stadiums which, when a baseball field was present, felt about as natural and alive as a robot trying to compose a beautiful symphonic melody.

Sometimes, the old-timers just knew how to build em right. And in this case, when you take a lot of the old and you mix in some specks of new -- you get a masterpiece. The dominant feature of Camden Yards is the orange brick warehouse beyond right field. This is one of the most unique sight lines in all of baseball, with both that and downtown Baltimore in view beyond center field.

The stadium itself is now 20 years old, and it shows no signs of aging and is sure to be around for decades to come. And why not? How could you improve upon this masterpiece in Baltimore?

The park is a hitters friendly ballpark, with the deepest dimension being 410 feet to left center flanked by a 333 foot left field wall and a 318 foot right field wall.

What is your favorite part of Camden Yards?

Favorite part, the SRO section in RF. Now that they have lowered it, you can see everything and you are about 20 feet from boogs BBQ and the warehouse bar. Should be your number 2 stadium though with PNC park being #1 IMO.

Basically, catch a game in the RF bleachers and you cant go wrong.

Have to agree with N51. PNC #1. Love the stadium pics.

Ditto that! When i lived down in Virginia we made sure Boog's was the first place we hit at the stadium. I just can't believe it's already been 20 years

Why, in MLB 12 The Show, is it named Orioles Park?

I believe the stadium's official name is Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
