The park was brand new, but still old-fashioned. State-of-the-art, yet quaint. At less than a day old, it was already a classic. Oriole Park at Camden Yard opened in 1992. In the last 32 years that have followed, OPACY has welcomed more than 72 million fans including individuals from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. The city of Baltimore and the entire state of Maryland have derived over $10 billion in economic impact from the more than 76 million fans who have attended Orioles games over the last 30 seasons, as well as from the millions more who have participated in major concerts, festivals, meetings, tours, and community events that have been held at the ballpark.
