The Camden Yards era spans from 1993 to the present day. The name of the era comes from the Camden Yards ballpark in Baltimore, a throwback to the golden era of baseball parks. Its design drew inspiration from older ballparks, emphasizing intimate seating arrangements, natural grass, and unique architectural features. Camden Yards demonstrated that fans appreciated the nostalgic charm and intimacy of older stadiums while still enjoying modern amenities. Its success influenced the construction of subsequent retro-style ballparks, such as Progressive Field in Cleveland and Coors Field in Denver, shaping the future of ballpark architecture in baseball.
