Home of the 1st AFC Championship Game.

a real shame that they didnt preserve part of this stadium, or at least a facade. The site currently has an ugly, poorly designed YMCA , and much of the rest is vacant.

Nice to see a stadium without ads plastered on every freaking inch of space: behind homeplate, in the dugout, on the dugout rails, all over the outfield. What's next, they going to start selling ad space on batting helmets? Sorry, I just had to rant :)

I'd give alot to have one more game at the Stadium with the late 70s / early 80s crowd and most notably, Section 34 and Wild Bill.

Such memories like the 1966 World Series and so many other things things, this place did have a certain style about it that can't be captured in the newer parks. I love Camden Yards but all those wonderful memories are here, all those glory years. Just think of all the athletes that played here for Baltimore and all those from visiting teams. The Robinsons, Unitas, Cal, Eddie, Matte, Macke, Palmer, Boog, I could go on and on, Weaver, Shula, Bauer, the voices Thompson, O'Donnell, Barney.

yeah I miss that smell of urine

God I miss that place!! Never had a better time at any sports venue. Say what you want about the new stadiums, but you just can't beat the atmosphere at old Memorial Stadium.

@centuryrox ---absolutely. people went to the games that were really into baseball, the teams were always subperb, until mid/late 80s. and how cheap the seats were. great memories, even w/ all the obstructed view seats

Hey I agree Memorial is special. But Camden Yards definitely does have soul and its probably the nicest ballpark in the majors. Nice Vid!

From '86 to"89, went to a ton of O's games when I lived in Westminster. The old stadium has a special place in my heart even though I grew up outside of Pittsburgh. Nice old school film.

that was when baseball was at its best.. family entertainment the love of the game... i agree new stadium has no soul.... shame they have to one time i went with my folks to a game and getting on the elevator man got off my mom says u know that was brooks robinson.... memories that cant replace...

[pistol1977jfb]

from 1971 to 1991 i went to at least a few games every year. last 16 years maybe 10 times total. memorial had a soul. camden is nice but without soul. seeing this home movie brings a smile and memories of sunny days in the upper deck or bleachers just kicking back watching the o's. i'll always cherish those moments.

[mastshke]

that is true. it could be because they are not winning these days. I did see memorial when I was young. never got to touch or feel the excitement of it though. Camden is a lovely stadium but just as you said it's not there anymore.
