Local Attractions
- Orioles Park at Camden Yards - 7.5 mi
When former Baltimore mayor William Donald Schaefer became governor of Maryland in the mid-1980s,
he helped push plans for a baseball-only stadium through the state legislature. The plans also called for a
football-only stadium next door and both would be financed by a new instant lottery game. Construction on
an 85-acre site began in June 1989, took 33 months and cost $110 million. The success of Oriole Park at
Camden Yards inspired other cities (Cleveland, Denver, etc.) to build their own versions of this new Retro-
style ballpark. Eli Jacobs, who owned the Orioles when the ballpark was built, wanted to call it Oriole
Park. Schaefer preferred Camden Yards. Finally, they agreed on Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
