After having an atrocious time navigating Northwest Stadium for the Bruno Mars concert, I was…read moreexpecting the same at M&T Bank for BTS but that was not the case at all...instead we got: - Extra roomy seats - The kindest and most helpful security / traffic controllers - Easy check in - Clean, efficient bathrooms (even for women!) - Amazing views and energy all around - Convenient exit right off 95 (no dealing with circling around neighborhoods for hours) - Lots of parking lot options (if you can, I found Lot O to be an excellent choice) The day we went we were dealing with a tornado watch and I was impressed with how they handled everything to ensure everyone's safety. I can't definitely see why more and more artists are choosing to host concerts here over DC. To quote the famous J-Hope: "I want more Baltimore!"

M&T Bank Stadium…read more Customer Service-For my very first experience, it was great. I had to ask a couple of questions while trying to understand how to navigate to the club-level area, and everyone assisted with a smile. One of my favorite Club level perks? FREE WATER AND SODAS!!!! With the stadium prices being what they are, having complimentary drinks available was definitely appreciated. Food- I tried a little bit of everything, and overall, the food was hit or miss. Crab Cake egg rolls from Jimmy's Seafood. As a BMore girl, anything with "crab cake" in the name is going to get my attention. They were okay-not bad, but they didn't necessarily wow me either. The Little Caesars pizza was pretty small, but it's Little Caesars at a stadium, so I knew what I was getting. It did the job. Chicken Tenders & Western Fries. The tenders really didn't have any flavor, and the western fries were just meh for me. However, I absolutely loved how this meal represented Baltimore. There's something about seeing this familiar BMore-style dish, served in a box at a Ravens game, that just felt right. Kudos to whoever came up with the concept! Maybe if it came with saltpeppaketchuphotsauce, yes, all one word, IYKYK, it would have enhanced the taste and added flavor. Popcorn- freshly popped, hot, and exactly what this OG popcorn lover wants while watching a game. I also tried both the classic cinnamon and Oreo churros, and both were Good. Ambiance-Great aesthetics for a stadium. Club level was nicely decorated as well. Parking-Rough, and on opener day with double games (Ravens and Orioles), it was horrible. Many lots were available for a fee; I paid $80. But having the convenience of getting in and out, not being blocked in and waiting hours to get out of a garage, made the cost worth it.

So long as you're any style of sports fan you plan to go to some form of Sportsball game while…read moreyou're traveling. It's what you do (https://youtu.be/2fraSdN-PG8?is=ucXC_-DV6-MyvCAg)! But when that sportsball event becomes a fabulous pride night that gives away a free rainbow jersey and features appropriate music from the likes of Chappell Roan, Abba, and then some, you best believe that you're inclined to attend in spades! Without such a night it was still guaranteed that I was going to hit up an Orioles game during my Baltimore Visit. But the fact that I got to enjoy a fun night with a free jersey and some free Dunkin along the way made it even more incredible. And beyond that I saw enough to make it one of the best ballparks that I ever attended! Walking from M8 Beer (review coming later) to the stadium was easily accessible to the point that it literally looked like passing through said park before crossing a bridge. From there it was easy access to Dunkin hookups and and Orioles Shopping center that was built to feel like downtown shopping in a strip mall. Once I entered everything you'd expect from a ballpark was to the right side and easy to find, but it was also readily available within reason on all floors. As far as theming, spectacle, tradition, convenience, and then some, Oriole Park was the baseball stadium that delivered it all with a bang and then some!

One of the best ballparks!…read more The 2 times I've visited Baltimore have involved Camden Yards. Parking is a bit confusing if you don't know where you're going, despite the signs, I got directed to the wrong area this year when trying to find lot FGH. Last year I found FGH with ease, but my GPS failed me this time around. Ended up parking in lot C (with no additional charge) due to the wonderful employees. All ball parks are expensive for food & drink, so don't complain. The Local Fry's "The Local" Fries (quadruple entendre?) are phenomenal & worth it. Had a ton of "leftover" crab dip that was eaten without fries left to match. Absolutely horrific time seated directly next to people due to how cramped stadium seating is. First time I went I had nobody near me, this year it was 95°, then stormed, and touching arms with other wet/sweaty folk was enough to make me squirm!

Water is not free and they do not allow you to bring any outside food or drinks, including your own water bottle. They have tournaments on the weekends usually so it does get busy then. They also have a big private parking lot.

The food is okay. The whole facility is well kept. Everything is in very good condition and well maintained. I didn't see one piece of trash on the floor and if there was trash on the floor it was cleaned up quickly. There is not a bad seat in the house. You can sit up close or in the upper seats and still have a great seat, unless you are near the outfield. The staff are very helpful. The only problem with the stadium is the heat that gets trapped in the walkway on hot days. We stood in the concession line and my nieces and nephews nearly exhausted themselves because of the heat.

I've passed the stadium many times as it's located just off Interstate 95 in northern Maryland and can be seen from the highway. It's one of the few minor league ballparks I've visited with free parking. Tickets are a bit more expensive than other minor league games I've been to, but still substantially cheaper than attending a MLB game, and you're much closer to the action on the field. There doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the ballpark, and the sightlines are great regardless of where you're sitting. There are picnic tables and a kids play area set up in left field. As is typical of sporting venues, concessions are overpriced and the hot dogs, nachos, ice cream, and other food items our group tried were pretty underwhelming in terms of quality. The team store had a decent variety of merchandise, but was similarly overpriced. Many of the concession stands were closed with low attendance for an April game against the Brooklyn Cyclones, but I'm sure they open up when the summer season ramps up and attendance rises. Overall, it was a fun and low maintenance day at the ballpark, but I'd rank the overall experience a 3.5/5 at best compared to other minor league ballparks I've been to.

Some kids places lean too hard into "educational" and forget that kids actually want to have a good time. This place gets the balance right. Port Discovery was probably the number one highlight of our Baltimore trip with kids. I've been to a lot of family attractions, and this is one of the best places I've been to with my kids, plain and simple. The giant three-story slide was a huge hit, and the rope net climb to get up there made it even more of an adventure. My kids could have stayed on that alone for a long time. Another thing I appreciated was how many different types of spaces there were. It felt like every corner had something new, and they also seemed thoughtful about different kids' needs, including quieter areas and spaces that felt better for sensory-sensitive kids. We spent a few hours here pretty easily. Also worth mentioning: I liked that they weren't constantly trying to upsell us on extra stuff. That alone made the whole experience feel less stressful. For families with younger kids, this place is a winner.
