 Watch sports being played or play sports yourself. This page should give you some options. ON CAMPUS University Athletic Centerwww.umaryland.edu/athleticcenter Address: 646 W. Pratt St. Phone: 443-706-7529 Hours: Mon.-Thu. 6am-11pm; Fri. 6am-10pm; Sat. 9am-7pm; Sun. 1pm-9pm Directions: It's on the top floor of the parking garage located on Pratt St. between Penn and Greene Streets. Take the elevator as high up as it goes and walk up the last flight to enter. Bottom Line: Functional, but definitely not state-of-the-art. Full-time students get free admission into the Athletic Center which includes weight and exercise equipment as well as basketball and racquetball courts. WALKING DISTANCE ESPN Zonewww.espnzone.com Address: Power Plant: 601 E. Pratt St. Phone: 443-685-3776 Hours: Sun.-Thu. 11am-12am; Fri.-Sat. 11am-12:30am Directions: Go east on Pratt St. until you reach the Harbor. ESPN Zone is in the Power Plant building located on the east side of the Harbor, next to the Aquarium. Bottom Line: Featuring several bars, a grill, and lots of sports games, ESPN Zone is a great place to watch the biggest games of the season. The upper floor has games ranging from shooting hoops to air hockey to a batting cage to many virtual reality games. ESPN Zone is rather expensive, but you can find coupons that might make a trip worth it. Gold's Gym www.goldsgym.com Address: Power Plant: 601 E. Pratt St. Phone: 410-576-7771 Hours: TBA Directions: Go east on Pratt St. until you reach the Harbor. Gold's Gym is in the POwer Plant building located on the east side of the Harbor, next to the Aquarium. Bottom Line: It's a nice gym, but who wants to walk out to the Harbor when you already have free access to an athletic center on campus? Oriole Park at Camden Yards baltimore.orioles.mlb.com Address: 333 W. Camden Street Phone: 888-848-BIRD Hours: Check website for schedule. Directions: Walk south on Paca or Eutaw Street past Pratt Street. The stadium is impossible to miss. Bottom Line: Major league baseball is only a few blocks away from campus. On Fridays, get into a home game for $5 with your student ID. Ravens Football: M&T Bank Stadium www.baltimoreravens.com Address: 1101 Russell St. Phone: 410-241-RAVE Hours: During season: Mon.-Fri. 9am-5pm; prior to home game Sun. or Mon., Sat. 9am-5pm Directions: Go south on Greene St., which will become Russell St. The stadium will be on your left. Bottom Line: Football games are expensive ($35-$80+), and unless you're a very devoted Ravens fan, you'll probably choose to watch it on TV instead. |
