On April 6, 1992, Rick Sutcliffe of the Orioles threw the first pitch of the first baseball game played at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. More than a third of a century later, Camden Yards stands as a monument to ballpark design, modern, yet classic, a throwback and a turning point in urban and sports architecture. "Creating Camden Yards" is a comprehensive account of the people and events that contributed to the birth of an architectural icon, and of the numerous challenges confronted by the planners. The project is the work of more than two dozen students and faculty at The Shirley Povich Center for Sports Journalism at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism. It includes interviews with close to 60 key participants in the ballpark story.
