Camden Yards shifts to full capacity June 1

BALTIMORE -- Normalcy is returning to Camden Yards. The Orioles announced Thursday that Oriole Park will reopen to full capacity beginning June 1, in consultation with the City of Baltimore, the State of Maryland and the Maryland Stadium Authority.

Additionally, tickets for all remaining home games will go on sale Wednesday, May 26, beginning at noon ET. Social distancing will no longer be required between groups of ticket holders, though the Orioles will continue to offer “pod” seating in select sections for those who prefer it.

In 2020, Oriole Park was closed to fans due to COVID-19, and it has been operating at 25 percent capacity since Opening Day.

“That’s great news for everybody,” O’s manager Brandon Hyde said. “It means we’re slowly but surely getting back to normal, which is a great feeling. We’re excited to see more fans in the ballpark.”

All fans in attendance will still be required to adhere to the club’s Gameday Health and Safety policies while at the ballpark. In conjunction with Baltimore City mandates, these protocols require fans to wear masks properly (covering the nose and mouth) at all times, unless actively eating or drinking at their assigned seating location.

The club will also continue to utilize digital ticketing for easy and contactless entry to the ballpark, and Oriole Park at Camden Yards will remain a cashless facility, including ballpark parking lots, concession stands and ticket windows.
