The History of the Park

Oriole Park was, at one time, one of the most ultra-modern ballparks in the league. Constructed in 1992 to replace Memorial Stadium, the new park was the first of the new wave “retro” style parks. This represented a real difference, as before this the multi-use stadium was the prevailing design. When the Baltimore Colts left town, though, there was no need for the multi-use Memorial Stadium anymore. Oriole Park’s retro design proved so popular that it influenced newly-constructed retro stadiums for years afterward!
