Baltimore's Camden Yards set the bar for what a retro
ballpark should be, paving the way for teams like Cleveland, Denver, and
Pittsburgh to build modern throwbacks of their own. Camden Yards was designed
in such a way that there's rarely a bad seat in the house, so don't feel that
you have to spring for the high-priced seats to enjoy the game. Another
fan-friendly aspect of Camden Yards is that visitors are allowed to bring their
own snacks and beverages into the park (as long as you carry them in clear
plastic containers). Baltimore's famous Inner Harbor is located right outside
of the stadium, so arrive early and check out all the great specialty shops and
mouthwatering restaurants nearby.
Fast Fact: Baseball's most legendary hero, Babe Ruth,
was born two blocks from what is now Camden Yards.
