Baltimore Traffic Chaos: Double-Booked Events and Festivals Cause Gridlock
Twin events held at Baltimore's Oriole Park at Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium caused severe traffic gridlock, leaving many drivers stranded on surrounding streets. The Orioles game was pushed up to 1 p.m. in an attempt to clear the area for the Stevie Nicks concert at 7 p.m., but the rain delay and limited time between events resulted in heavy congestion. Those who heeded warnings and used alternative transportation fared better, while others faced frustration and disappointment. Some concertgoers arrived late and had to stand in aisles during the show.
