The Maryland Stadium Authority oversaw construction of the Veterans' Memorial at the Sports Complex at Camden Yards. The language on the new memorial incorporates most of the essential wording from the memorial formerly located on Memorial Stadium on 33rd Street but is updated to include veterans of all of our Nation's wars.
The creation of this memorial will enable more than 4 million people each year to personally see this tribute to our veterans when they visit Camden Yards for a game, special event or as a destination itself. This ground-level memorial will afford the opportunity for visitors to pause and reflect on the valiant effort and sacrifice made by so many of our brave soldiers to preserve America's freedom.
Construction of the new memorial began in September, 2002. The ceremonial groundbreaking was held on Veterans' Day, November 11th, 2002 and was completed in Spring, 2003. Dedication of the Memorial was held on Memorial Day - May 26th, 2003.
