Is there anywhere more special than Baltimore Orioles baseball at Camden Yards?

My wife and I started a fun life-long project of visiting every MLB, NFL, and NBA stadium on our journey across this great country and we have seen some unbelievable sights, met some of the most friendly and welcoming people, enjoyed the finest local beer one can find, and visited many beautiful ballparks.

However, it’s hard not to compare every other ballpark to the majestic sight that is Camden Yards. The iconic warehouse and views of the ballpark from the upper-levels of the warehouse that can’t be described with words are unmatched.

No matter how many times you walk past them, taking a stroll down Eutaw Street and looking at the home run markers is always a fun trip down memory lane. Just make sure you don’t miss the Ken Griffey Jr.marker on the warehouse.

From the smell of Old Bay in the air, to conversations with everyone’s favorite ballpark employee, Fancy Clancy, to walking through the statues of Orioles legends, to the voice of Ryan Wagner blessing your ears between at-bats, you are hardpressed to find a better ballpark experience than Camden Yards.

I could write 10,000 words on why each and every trip to Camden Yards is special, but my time is limited and the turkey is almost done. I’d love to hear your favorite OPACY memories in the comments.
