11 TV Hill: How 'The Ballpark that Forever Changed Baseball' came to be

Baltimoreans and fans from all over the world have been enjoying Oriole Park at Camden Yards for three decades. A new era of Major League Baseball began when the park opened, and 30 years later, it continues to be a highlight in Charm City and a staple in downtown Baltimore. Dubbed "The Ballpark that Forever Changed Baseball," Oriole Park at Camden Yards is celebrating its opening 30 years ago. It may be hard to believe that Camden Yards is now the 10th oldest park in the majors. The idea for a new baseball park to replace Memorial Stadium had been in the works for years.
