Orioles announce plans for Oriole Park at Camden Yards 30th Anniversary Weekend Celebration
The Orioles today announced the full schedule of events for the culmination of celebrations for the 30th anniversary of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. While the Orioles host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday, August 5 at 7:05 p.m. ET, and Saturday, August 6, at 5:05 p.m., the Orioles will welcome back beloved former Orioles, distribute unique giveaways, and host a postgame concert as part of the Birdland Summer Music Series, presented by Miller Lite.
For the celebratory Saturday, August 6 game, the Orioles are offering throwback 1992 pricing on tickets. Tickets are available at $4 for bleachers, $8 for reserve seats, and $12, $13, and $18 for box seats. Savings at each seating location range from approximately 50 percent to 85 percent. The special pricing is reflective of the same ticket prices that existed when the ballpark opened on April 6, 1992. Fans can purchase tickets at Orioles.com/Tickets. This offer is available online only, for the August 6 game, from now through Monday, July 11 by entering the coupon code “1992” prior to selecting seats.
The 30th Anniversary Exhibit, located on the concourse behind home plate, will be updated to feature highlights from the returning players, responsible for many of the ‘Magic Moments’ in the history of The Ballpark That Forever Changed Baseball™. In-game entertainment will include the top hits of the last 30 years and vignettes of fan-favorite moments at Oriole Park since 1992.
