This weekend, during their final home series of the 2016 season, the Orioles will play host to some very special fans.

Many of these visitors will be making their first trip to Camden Yards, experiencing an Orioles game in person for the first time.

Birdland Experience Weekend caps off the Orioles' continuing efforts to ensure that Camden Yards is welcoming and accessible for all fans. The team has been working this season with members of the disability community to achieve that goal.

"The Orioles are consistently working to ensure that everyone who wishes to experience a game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards is able to enjoy themselves," said Greg Bader, the club's vice president of communications and marketing. "We look forward to welcoming many first-time visitors this weekend, and hope that their time at the ballpark becomes a positive lasting memory."
