Home of the Baltimore Ravens, the M&T Bank Stadium is one of the premiere stadiums in Major League Baseball and the National Football League. Inaugurated in 1998, the Stadium features 69,000 purple and silver seats, sweeping archways, and a facade of over one million bricks. The three tiers of seating offer spectators full-field views and scenic vistas of Baltimore. One of the most innovative features of the Stadium are the two SmartVision video screens located in each end zone.
Spanning 100 feet across and manned by twenty-five technicians, fans are sure not to miss an important play. In addition to sports, the Arena has hosted the HFStival which featured fifteen bands, and several heavy metal concerts with bands including Metallica, Korn, and Kid Rock. The Arena also offers a Ravens Team Store, fifty-five concession stands, and the Budweiser Backyard Bash where fans can mingle and watch pre- and post-game shows on big screen televisions.
The Ravens will play host to the San Diego Chargers in October as two teams that look to exchange last year's positions take the field for NFL football.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will look to make a second Super Bowl run as the Ravens try to regain their dominance from a few years ago with this week 12 game proving exactly where the two teams stand.
