Memorial Field at the Y

Memorial Stadium once stood on this spot, named in honor of those who did not return from World War I and World War II. Opened in 1950 and demolished in 2001, it was the home field of the Orioles from 1954 to 1991 and the Colts from 1953 to 1983, and both teams produced championship seasons here. The Orioles won the World Series in 1966, 1970, and 1983, while the Colts won the NFL Championship in 1958 and 1959 and Super Bowl V in 1971. Long associated with Baltimore pride and the play of local legends, the site was rededicated in November 2010 to serve youth in Baltimore City, as the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation created a safe, clean place for kids to play, learn, and grow.
