In 1987, legislation was enacted approving Camden Yards as the site for the new stadium complex and granting to the Stadium Authority administrative and operational powers, including condemnation authority and a special financing mechanism. While efforts to secure an NFL expansion team continued, legislation was enacted permitting the construction of a new baseball park at Camden Yards, contingent upon securing a long-term lease with the Orioles. In 1988, when a memorandum of agreement was negotiated between the team and the Maryland Stadium Authority, property acquisition, design and construction began on what would become Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The ballpark opened on April 6,1992 to rave reviews from architectural critics, fans and players. The opening resulted in the first significant increase in the size of MSA's staff with the addition of facilities management personnel. Committed to maintaining the baseball park in a first-class manner, personnel were selected both for their abilities and willingness to ensure that Camden Yards remains the best ballpark in the nation. |
