The Baltimore Ravens play their
home games at M&T
Stadium at Camden Yards. The football facility is just
a stones throw away from Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
These two facilities are two of the most original cutting
edge stadiums in each one of their respective league.
M&T Stadium feature something different on the top
of the stadium. Instead of the normal upper level seating
along the top of the stadium the Ravens have sections
in the shape of an upside down v all along the top of
the stadium. The V’s give patrons a look at the
Baltimore skyline that would otherwise be out of sight
while within the stadium. Since the stadium opened in
1998 other organizations in the National Football League
have been adopting similar designs on their own new stadiums.
The organization and players call them “victory
v’s.”
The stadium is also the home of the
2000 season Super Bowl trophy. The Ravens earned the
trophy after their punishing defense dominated the league
all year long. The stadium has also been the backdrop
for the HBO show “Hard
Knocks” which followed the Ravens around during
their training camp while they got ready for the 2001
season.
