Oriole Park, M&T Bank Stadium implement smoking bans
There will be no victory cigars at either Oriole Park at Camden Yards or M&T Bank Stadium this season, regardless of how well the Ravens or Orioles play.
The Maryland Stadium Authority will ban smoking at both stadiums during all future games and events starting March 4. Fans will be barred from “the burning of a lighted cigarette, cigar, pipe, or any other matter or substance that contains tobacco” in all areas inside Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium.
Previously you could smoke inside certain parts of the stadiums, like along ramps. The ban prohibits smoking within 25 feet of any entry, outdoor air intake, or operable window of the stadium structures.
The Stadium Authority has received complaints from about the smoking policy at both stadiums, said Michael Frenz, executive director of the state agency. The new policy also puts Maryland in line with other Major League Baseball parks and NFL stadiums, Frenz said.
