Camden Yards got a facelift.
The Orioles’ iconic ballpark spent the offseason undergoing major renovations. Nearly every corner of the stadium was upgraded with the goal of modernizing out-of-date technology, creating new amenities and improving the game day experience.
“This has been about making sure that Camden Yards remains as iconic and as amazing for all of our fans looking forward as it is looking backwards,” Orioles president of baseball operations Catie Griggs said at the team’s media tour of the ballpark Tuesday morning.
“We know that we are already in one of the most iconic and most special ballparks in baseball. The goal this offseason was not to change that. The goal of this offseason was to make sure we took all of the things that make this ballpark so special and make sure that it’s special for years to come.”
Here are five additions the Orioles unveiled ahead of opening day Thursday.
Scoreboard, sound system and control room
It’s hard to miss the most prominent new ballpark feature. The Orioles went from having the smallest video board in MLB to the 12th largest, installing a 7,466-square-foot jumbotron with 4K resolution in the place of the old scoreboard. The new video board will include more gameplay data for fans to ingest and feature an overhauled graphics package.
The popular hot dog race and crab shuffle graphics will have a new look as well.
“It was really challenging to see during the day for anyone who came to our games,” Griggs said. “One of the things that we heard loud and clear from our fans was the way in which many of our fans want to consume baseball has changed. We want to make sure any fan who comes to Camden Yards has an experience that’s way better than you can get sitting on your couch at home.”
Baltimore also installed 900 new speakers across the ballpark to overhaul the sound system, 600 televisions, including digital menus at concession stands, LED ribbon boards across the facing of the upper decks, a replacement video board on the right field wall and a control room for operating all the new technology.
Truist Club and PureWager Pavilion
The Orioles introduced a pair of new viewing areas this season. The Truist Club is an all-inclusive lounge with specialty food options, an array of dining tables and 350 mesh seats positioned right behind home plate. Orioles chief revenue officer Don Rovak said 40-game packages would start at $15,000; single-game tickets will only be available on secondary markets.
“When we continued to reimagine different elements that we needed to enhance Camden Yards, we talked a lot about different segmentation so that if you’re not a die-hard baseball fan, what can make sure that you feel welcomed and wanted in this beautiful ballpark,” Rovak said. “We think this really is going to be incredible as a place to grow business.”
Fans with regular Birdland Memberships will not be able to redeem their points for tickets to the Truist Club. Those who do purchase packages will gain access to member-only events, including batting practice on the field and question-and-answer sessions with top team brass like Griggs and president of baseball operations Mike Elias.
For those seated in the rest of the ballpark, the PureWager Pavilion situated under the scoreboard will offer an outfield bar and social space for fans to gather and watch the game away from their seats. Private groups of up to 300 people will be able to book out the section for games with tickets starting at $80 each.
The area will not offer any gambling services despite the partnership with PureWager Group.
“One of the things that we continue to see trends in sports is just more mixed use, where people can stand, enjoy a cocktail, enjoy some food and be around friends and family, while they’re getting more out of the experience than just the 21 inches of seat,” Rovak said.
Amazon checkout-free kiosks
New to the concourse this season are five Amazon “Just Walk Out” concession stands where fans swipe their credit card to enter, grab their food or drinks and walk out with the items automatically charged to their card.

Cameras equipped with artificial intelligence detect how many members of a party enter at a time, what each of them takes and charges them all to the same card. Fans’ credit cards will be subject to a $20 preauthorization charge upon entry and adjusted to the final total when they walk out.
The kiosks are designed to cut down on wait times at concessions for ready-made items such as drinks, hot dogs and popcorn. Though other variations of the stands exist, the Amazon-specific kiosks have been around at other sports stadiums across the country since TD Garden in Boston installed them in 2021.
“It allows us to deploy employees to other spots of the facility, other spots of the building, more customer-facing, guest-facing roles to sort of elevate that fan experience,” said Thomas Horvath, vice president of hospitality and strategy for Levy Restaurants. “So, as game times continue to speed up, we need to keep up with that as well.”
New bars, expanded fan store on club level
The club level at Camden Yards features two new bars positioned on each of the baselines.
Previously, the only way to see the field from the club level was in the suites and club-level seating. The Orioles removed 10 of those suites — six on the first base side, four on the third — to build out bars with floor-to-ceiling windows so fans could still watch the game while they order drinks.
“It’s an opportunity for any of our guests,” Griggs said. “If you’re in a suite time, fine. If you’re one of our club seat holders, great. If you’re one of our Birdland Members who’s redeeming points to get onto this level, awesome. This is a space for you to come together. The weather’s a little bit iffy, you can get a bit of a reprieve. But also, it’s just an incredible spot to watch the game.”
The Orioles also renovated the club store in Section 224 and built another location at Section 216 that was 50% bigger than their original club store. The two club-level team stores will offer special merchandise from “premium brands” including Onward Reserve, Sportiqe and Frost Buddy.
Specialty menu items
A slew of new food options will be available at select concessions stands this season. Crab smash tacos, “B’more Yak,” Japanese cheesesteaks, Baltimore banana pudding, scrapple burgers and meatball smash are among the additions to menus across the ballpark. Some items, such as the cheesesteaks and the “Baltimore Dawg” topped with fried bologna, sauerkraut and caramelized onions, can only be purchased on the club level.
However, many of the other unique dishes can be accessed on the main concourse. The Eutaw Street Butchery will offer several aforementioned items, the Baltimore Seafood House by Section 5 will have the crab smash tacos and Charm City Chicken’s three locations will serve the banana pudding.
The team will also open a new K-certified “Birdland Kosher” stand near Section 83 with kosher hot dogs, chicken nuggets, soft pretzels and other items. The stand will be open for all home games except Fridays, Saturdays and Yom Kippur.
