Oriole Park at Camden Yards was built in the 1990s as a neoclassical park with architecture built to stand the test of time and now it looks like it will. It’s easy to get behind the Baltimore Orioles this year with their capture of the American League East title and it’s exciting that the City of Baltimore has decided to get behind them for the next three decades just as the citizens of Maryland have proven that they are willing to put their support behind the franchise come rain or come shine. This contract not only gives fans a sigh of relief, it gives investors an opportunity to look at Baltimore for an opportunity to invest in hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues. With 30 more years of the Orioles in town, now is the perfect opportunity to redevelop the areas around our ballparks to revenue-producing venues. Now is the time to promote development, mass transit and income-producing real estate in and around our Baltimore teams. The Maryland Building Industry Association shares in this commitment and our members look forward to working with the City and its residents and fans in making the area a legendary place to work, live and cheer!
