Going with some friends to the Tigers games at Camden next weekend. Looked on stubhub and tickets seem pretty cheap.

Has anyone sat in the Terrace level? Is it ok? Any other recommendations on where to sit for a reasonable price?

Thanks.

For the price, can't beat the bleachers. Bring a hat if it's a day game.

The only problem with that is the trip is with me, two buddies and our Dads. So 3 of the guys will be in their 60s. I don't think they'll want to sit on bleachers.

They are regular seats. "Bleachers" is a term used to describe the sections between the bullpen and scoreboard. Sections 90, 92, 94, 96, 98.

I would forget going through StubHub, just do a walk up... They only had 10,130 at last nights game against the Blue Jays...

Here is their home attendance this year...

Going next month on Brooks Robinson (my all-time favorite player) sculpture night. Bleachers are way out of my price range. Foul lines are a better option tho. So I guess the question would be Visitors side or Home team's?

Last time I was in Baltimore was in 08. Two different people offered us free tickets, just gave them to us no strings attached cause they couldn't sell them. I assume it can't be that bad still, but I would imagine you still don't need to pay a ton to get decent seats.

Still the gold standard for Baseball Stadiums. Better than all the new ones and as much atmosphere as the old ones.

I would get tickets now. Starting to look like that game is going to have playoff implications and also might well be Baltimore's last chance to show love for Brooks - he's been in poor health. More seating down the left field line than the right (in the lower deck; upper deck probably doesn't matter, though the rightfield line is closer to the warehouse, which you might want to visit).

Been to about half of what MLB has to offer and it's my favorite. Comerica and PNC are probably 2nd and 3rd. Only one I haven't been to, and think could challenge it, is San Fran.

Ive been to Comerica and Camden as well, Camden is my favorite as well. I use to go see the Mariners a lot when the kid still played for them, and stand in left field area durning batting practice. Is Boog Powell still there?

Boog's barbecue is still there, I'm not sure how often he actually is.

They really did a nice job of updating the ballpark this year as it turned 20. In the standing area on top of the RF fence, they lowered the wall and replaced it with a railing, making it a much, much more inviting place to watch the game. In CF, they took the perch where the TV cameras used to be and turned it into a bar where you can sit or stand and watch the game. And - the reason you're going - they created a sculpture garden in the area behind the bullpen. Unveiled so far have been Frank Robinson, Earl Weaver, Jim Palmer, and Eddie Murray with Cal and Brooks yet to come.

That, plus the team not sucking, have made it fun to go to the games again.
