Camden Yards Just Got a $23 Million Makeover
When Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened in 1992, it changed the way America thought about ballparks. More than three decades later, the Orioles and the Maryland Stadium Authority have poured $23 million into making sure it stays that way.
The upgrades are the most significant in the ballpark’s history — from a massive new videoboard visible from I-95 to a behind-home-plate premium club, new bars on the club level, Amazon cashierless shopping, and an entirely new food lineup featuring crab smash tacos and a scrapple burger.
Whether you’re a season ticket holder or heading to your first game this year, Camden Yards is going to feel different in 2026. Here’s everything that’s new — all 27 upgrades, changes, and additions — organized so you can plan your game day.
The Big Stuff: Stadium-Wide Upgrades
1. Massive New Center Field Videoboard
This is the headliner. The new Daktronics videoboard in center field is 2.5 times larger than the previous one, featuring more than 16.7 million pixels in 4K resolution. It’s now the 12th largest videoboard in all of Major League Baseball. You’ll notice it the moment you walk through the gates — it dominates the outfield view and makes replays, stats, and in-game entertainment far more immersive.
The iconic clock atop the main videoboard was also refurbished with a new internal mechanism, clock face, and neon lettering.
2. 1,125 Feet of New LED Ribbon Boards
It’s not just the main board. Camden Yards added new LED ribbon boards throughout the park — in the upper deck, club level, and right field — totaling 1,125 feet of new display surface, all in 4K resolution. The out-of-town scoreboard in right field was also updated.
3. All-New Ballpark Sound System
The Orioles installed 900 new high-output loudspeakers throughout the stadium, delivering enhanced clarity, increased volume, and more even distribution of audio. Whether you’re in the upper deck or along Eutaw Street, you’ll hear the difference.
4. 600+ IPTV Screens Throughout the Ballpark
Every concourse, bar, restaurant, and common area now features Internet Protocol Television. More than 600 screens show live game action, replays, and stats so you never miss a pitch while grabbing a beer or walking the concourse.
5. New Doubled-Size Control Room
To run all the new technology, the Orioles built a brand-new unified control room that doubled in overall footprint. This is the command center for the videoboard, ribbon boards, sound, lighting, and IPTV — all running on a single integrated system.
6. Cashless Venue
This is a big one for game day planning: Camden Yards is now fully cashless. No cash accepted at parking lots, concession stands, team stores, or ticket windows. Bring a credit card, debit card, or mobile payment. If you forget, there will be reverse ATMs available to convert cash to prepaid cards.
New Premium & Social Spaces
7. PureWager Pavilion (Center Field)
The brand-new PureWager Pavilion sits underneath the new center field videoboard. It’s a covered patio space with its own food options and a private bar. Groups of up to 300 can rent it out — but when it’s not booked for private events, it’s open to all fans. This will quickly become one of the most popular hangout spots in the park.
8. Truist Club (Behind Home Plate)
Camden Yards’ first-ever premium club is located directly behind home plate. The 350-seat Truist Club comes with VIP parking, a private ballpark entrance, exclusive events and experiences, and an all-inclusive dining room with a rotating menu crafted by high-profile chefs. The visiting chef will be John Mooney, the owner of Fishnet Restaurant and Reverie in Washington, D.C. — Mooney’s food will be a mix of a steakhouse and will have a Chesapeake influence.
9. Corona Right-Field Bar (Opening After All-Star Break)
A new open-air, wraparound bar is being built on the flag court in right field in partnership with Corona. It won’t be ready for Opening Day, but it will open after the All-Star break in mid-July. The bar will be open to the public — no special ticket required.
10. Fully Redesigned Club Level
The entire club level received a top-to-bottom renovation with new decor, lighting, and furniture. It feels like a completely different space from last year.
11. Two New Climate-Controlled Bars (1st and 3rd Base)
Suites were removed on the club level to make room for two new climate-controlled bars on the first-base and third-base sides. The first-base bar features a wrap-around bar, televisions, bar tables facing panoramic windows overlooking the field, a mural depicting Baltimore baseball history, and outdoor seating.
12. Renovated Home Plate Club
The existing Home Plate Club on the club level was also renovated during the offseason with updated finishes and seating.
13. Orioles Hall of Fame Exhibit
A new Orioles Hall of Fame exhibit is now on the club level, featuring the team’s World Series trophies, Gold Glove trophies, Cal Ripken’s Iron Man streak memorabilia, and photos of every Orioles Hall of Famer, plus various other artifacts from Baltimore’s 144 years of professional baseball.

Shopping & Technology

No more waiting in concession lines. Camden Yards added five Amazon Just Walk Out locations where you tap your credit card or app to enter, grab what you want, and walk out — no checkout required. You’ll find them on Eutaw Street and at Sections 17, 23, 35, and 64.
26. Expanded Orioles Team Store + Two New Club-Level Stores
The main Orioles Team Store on Eutaw Street has expanded its offerings. On the club level, there’s a renovated store at Section 244 and a brand-new store at Section 216 that’s 1.5 times the size of the original. Premium brands will be featured in both locations.
There’s also a new eShop for suites and Truist Club guests — order Orioles gear from your seat and have it delivered or pick it up at the Eutaw Street store or Section 216. Details at OriolesMobileShop.com.
