Renovation Projects at Oriole Park at Camden Yards

With the newly approved long-term agreement, the Maryland Stadium Authority (MSA) and the Baltimore Orioles look forward to collaborating on game changing upgrades to Oriole Park at Camden Yards so that it remains a best-in-class facility in terms of safety, amenities, and fan experience.

On this page, the ‘Doing Business’ and 'Events' tabs of the MSA website, MSA and the team will share the next steps for the projects contemplated in the lease that may be afforded by the HB 896 (2022) Maryland Stadium Authority - Increase of Bond Authorization - Camden Yards legislation.

HB896 (2022) increased the cap on Camden Yards Sports Complex debt from $235 million to $1.2 billion ($600 million each for Oriole Park and M&T Bank Stadium), increased the cap on monies for debt service transferred from lottery funds to $90 million from $20 million, and stipulated that the term of any bonds issued could not exceed the term of the team lease where the money is to be spent. This offered a significant incentive for the teams to renew or extend their leases and remain in Baltimore, and provides the opportunity to expand the economic impact of games and other activities at the stadiums.

We believe the projects that are ultimately selected will elevate the gameday experience, expand year-round entertainment use, extend the life of the stadium, and create economic development opportunities for many years to come.

In July 2024, the MSA Board of Directors approved the recommendations to award the contract for the Architectural / Engineering Design Services Renovation Projects at Oriole Park at Camden Yards to Populous, Inc. and the Construction Management Services Renovation Projects at Oriole Park at Camden Yards to Gilbane – WarrenBuilds (Joint Venture). Both contracts received final approval from the Maryland Board of Public Works. In October 2024, the MSA Board of Directors approved the Comprehensive Financing Plan for Oriole Park at Camden Yards for the Capital Improvement Projects Program. This is the first step of the required reviews then approvals to secure funding for the initial phase of improvements. Together with the team and our project partners, MSA looks forward to sharing information about upcoming procurement opportunities for the ballpark renovations.
