Camden Yards is a fantastic stadium. Very, very fan friendly plus terrific amenities. I hate the Orioles but I just ADORE their stadium. I've never been to the Ravens stadium (what's its name now?
), but I can only guess that it's as nice as CY.
Like you, I'm confused by that comment too. The Camden Yards train station is right there (and now more popular than ever) so people can not only take a train to the game but they can then walk right to the Inner Harbor for dining, shopping and nice hotels, so the convenience is great for the business. The stadium is also convenient to the Light Rail as well. I think the area around Camden Yards has greatly improved. Real estate values have increased (so says a friend of mine in Federal Hill!) and the area is overall improving.
