Game Day Timeline
What the day looks like at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, hour by hour.
Arrive in Inner Harbor / Federal Hill
Take the Light Rail to Camden Yards or park in the official lots. Walk through the Inner Harbor and enjoy the waterfront before heading to the ballpark.
Pregame on Eutaw Street
The Eutaw Street promenade behind the B&O Warehouse is the heart of the pregame scene, food vendors, beer stands, and home run markers embedded in the sidewalk.
Enter Camden Yards
Walk through the main gates and explore the concourses. The ballpark's brick-and-steel design and downtown skyline backdrop are worth soaking in.
Watch batting practice
Head to the right field seats to watch BP. Balls regularly bounce off the B&O Warehouse, catching one is a Camden Yards rite of passage.
Find your seat
Camden Yards has excellent sightlines from virtually every section. Settle in and enjoy the view of the Baltimore skyline beyond the outfield.
Play ball
Nine innings of baseball in the park that started the retro-ballpark revolution. The B&O Warehouse looms beyond right field, and the crowd yells 'O!' during the national anthem.
Stand up and stretch
The crowd sings 'Thank God I'm a Country Boy' by John Denver, a Camden Yards tradition. Grab a final Maryland crab cake or Orange Crush.
Walk to the Inner Harbor or Federal Hill
The Inner Harbor is a 10-minute walk for post-game drinks and food. Federal Hill to the south has neighborhood bars with a local vibe.
