INSIDE THE $430M

Gensler is partnering with the Baltimore Ravens and the Maryland Stadium Authority to design a series of significant projects that will enhance the gameday and year-round fan experience at M&T Bank Stadium.

Demonstrating their commitment to Baltimore City and the State of Maryland, the Ravens’ three-year (2024-26) stadium upgrades plan will further create an exceptional experience for all fans and ensure that M&T Bank Stadium remains a world-class NFL and entertainment venue well into the future.

The stadium enhancements will provide opportunities for fans to enjoy new experiences on gameday, while also enriching elements that are currently enjoyed. In addition to substantial developments on the exterior plaza areas, every level of the sports and entertainment venue will undergo renovations — thus completely transforming the stadium experience for all.

The Baltimore Ravens are getting a home renovation. And no, we’re not talking about kitchen remodeling. We’re talking about a 430-million-dollar revolutionary renovation that’s going to elevate fan experiences, offer premium seating and bigger concourses.

The old M&T Bank Stadium will not get torn down… but you won’t recognize it when the renovations are complete. And still, some people are angry they lost their seats during the upgrade. Let’s discuss it in today’s episode of Built Up.

M&T Bank Stadium launched sales for three new premium spaces on the stadium’s renovated field level called The Trust, The Raven, and the Champions Club. The new spaces, which will be ready for the 2025 season, are part of the stadium’s three-year $430M renovation, designed by Gensler and built by Gilbane. A major focus of the renovation was growing the stadium’s menu of premium spaces; the stadium will add about 1400 club membership opportunities when the three spaces open next year. The Ravens debuted field-level seats on three sides of the stadium for this 2024 season; those 138 total seats all include access to one of the new spaces beginning in 2025.

The clubs are situated on the stadium’s north, south, and west sides, with two of them going into the unfinished service level that has been a dirt floor since the stadium first opened in 1998.

“It helped save some money back when the stadium was built and over time you realize it had some value and you could do more with it,” said Ravens SVP/Ticket Sales & Operations Baker Koppelman.

The Trust, presented by M&T Bank, located on the south side of the stadium’s lower concourse will provide fans with unique access to the Ravens’ player tunnel at the 50-yard line and the postgame press conference room. The space drew interior design inspiration from early 1900s Baltimore banks. The Trust, with capacity for 400 and featuring all-inclusive food and beverage, opens two hours before kickoff and remains open 90 minutes postgame.

The Raven will sit near the stadium’s 50-yard line beneath the lower level on the north side, accessible from the main concourse. Up to 350 guests will have access to all-inclusive F&B in a social bar area with seating, screens, and climate-controlled conditions throughout the game and up to 90 minutes afterward. And the Champions Club, located behind the west end zone, will be home to two featured bars celebrating the Ravens’ Super Bowl victories. As many as 500 guests get all-inclusive F&B and can enjoy the space two hours before kickoff and as long as 90 minutes postgame.

The Ravens’ commercial sales team will handle naming rights efforts for The Raven and the Champions Club. The stadium unveiled its first phase of renovations in August, and work is already underway on the exterior-focused third phase, including the Miller Lite Gatehouse and the Roof Deck.
