BALTIMORE -- When Camden Yards opened in 1992, it quickly became one of MLB's most popular ballparks. And it's easy to see why. There's a plethora of reasons why the Orioles tout it as "the ballpark that forever changed baseball," including its architecture, character and charm.
Since the end of last year, the O's have poured a ton of resources into upgrades and renovations for their home ballpark. Here's a look at what's new at Camden Yards for the 2026 season.
Fan experience
You've probably already heard about (or seen) the biggest ballpark addition: There's a new videoboard in center field that is 2 1/2 times larger than the previous one and features more than 16.7 million pixels.
Camden Yards also has new LED ribbon boards to complement the updated out-of-town scoreboard in right field, all of which have 4K resolution. The ballpark has an upgraded sound system as well, featuring enhanced clarity, increased volume and more even distribution audio.
The clock atop the main videoboard was refurbished, receiving a new internal mechanism, clock face and neon lettering.
The new PureWager Pavilion is located underneath the center-field videoboard. The covered patio space can be rented out by private groups of up to 300 guests. When the space is not booked, it will be open to all fans.
The Truist Club, Camden Yards' first premium club, is located behind home plate. The 350-seat location comes with VIP parking, a private entrance to the ballpark, exclusive events and experiences and an all-inclusive dining room with a rotating menu.
A new right-field bar is being constructed on the flag court in partnership with Corona, and it will be open after the All-Star break this year. The open-air, wraparound bar will be open to the public.
The club level has been fully redesigned with elevated decor, lighting and furniture. There are also two new climate-controlled bars on the first- and third-base sides. The Home Plate Club on the club level was renovated during the offseason as well.
The ballpark was equipped with Internet Protocol Television, which delivers TV programming, live channels and video-on-demand over an internet connection. Now, the more than 600 televisions at Camden Yards will show live action, replays and stats, so fans won't miss the action while away from their seats.
To support all of the new technology, the Orioles built a new control room, which doubled in overall footprint.
As for in-game entertainment, the O's are introducing a new Crab Shuffle, a new Hot Dog Race, upgraded hype videos and more features. A group of about 15 Camden Crew members will be stationed around the ballpark to assist with in-game promotions, crowd engagement and on-field entertainment.
Fans will get early access to the ballpark to watch batting practice before all night games Monday through Thursday (except Aug. 20). Gates A and H will open 2 1/2 hours before first pitch for all ticket holders.
Ticket offers and promotions
Party at the Yard Fridays and Family Sundays are returning, as have Birdland Memberships.
The Orioles will now sell $19 tickets (including all fees) for Monday through Thursday games (excluding Opening Day), with seating options in the lower-level terrace boxes.
The Kids Home Run Porch in left field has returned and is now presented by Under Armour, with a giant cleat statue on the platform.
Orioles Team Store
The main location of the Orioles Team Store in the warehouse on Eutaw Street has expanded offerings.
On the club level, there will be a renovated store location at Section 244 and a new one at Section 216, with the latter being 1 1/2 times the size of the original store. Premium brands will be featured in these locations as well.
The Orioles are introducing an exclusive eShop for fans in suites and the Truist Club. Guests in those locations can get O's gear delivered to their seats or place an order to be picked up at either the Eutaw Street location or the store at Section 216. More information is available at OriolesMobileShop.com.
