I went to Camden Yards for a playoff game in 1997 against Seattle. In my past life I had a mail order business and the pitcher Randy Johnson was a customer for about ten years. He was still with Seattle and he left me 2 tickets for the game. I had to go the Radisson Hotel on E. Fayette and pick up the tickets before the game. The only problem, they were behind the 3rd base dugout with all Seattle wives and friends around us. We eventually moved, couldn't go out to the right field standing area because they had put in temporary bleachers. So we headed to center field standing area behind the bullpens. Turned out to be a good area, kind of a rowdy bunch giving the Seattle pitchers a hard time. We lost the game but won the series, however we lost the next series to the Yankees. It seems the O's playoff crowds this year are really getting a good show and the fans are giving it right back.
