Renovation Projects at M&T Bank Stadium

With an approved long-term lease, the Maryland Stadium Authority (MSA) and the Baltimore Ravens are collaborating on game changing upgrades to M&T Bank Stadium so that it remains a best-in-class facility in terms of safety, amenities, and fan experience.

On this page, the ‘Doing Business’ and 'Events' tabs of the MSA website, MSA and the team will share the next steps for the projects contemplated in the lease that may be afforded by the HB 896 (2022) Maryland Stadium Authority - Increase of Bond Authorization - Camden Yards legislation.

HB896 (2022) increased the cap on Camden Yards Sports Complex debt from $235 million to $1.2 billion ($600 million each for Oriole Park and M&T Bank Stadium), increased the cap on monies for debt service transferred from lottery funds to $90 million from $20 million, and stipulated that the term of any bonds issued could not exceed the term of the team lease where the money is to be spent. This offered a significant incentive for the teams to renew or extend their leases and remain in Baltimore, and provides the opportunity to expand the economic impact of games and other activities at the stadiums.

We believe the projects that are ultimately selected will elevate the gameday experience, expand year-round entertainment use, extend the life of the stadium, and create economic development opportunities for many years to come.

In August 2024, MSA together with the Baltimore Ravens, delivered the first phase of the $430 million renovations projects of M&T Bank Stadium including a completely redesigned and relocated Press Box, upgraded Club Level, with elevator and escalator modernization throughout. Highlights of the first phase include: 

• Miller Lite Gatehouse & Roof Deck - Over 5,000 sq ft on each level of newly constructed social spaces on the stadium’s east side for fans to experience before, during and after every home game with a sports bar vibe and city views. 
• Field Level Premium Seating – Premium seating with an unbeatable gameday view. 
• The Blackwing - Located just below the Club Level along the Ravens' sideline, The Blackwing features 10 individual suites, with enclosed balconies with retractable glass, all connected to a luxurious lounge. 

Since the approval of a long-term lease that reaffirmed the Ravens' strong commitment to Maryland and unlocked funds from state legislation, MSA and the team have been collaborating on game-changing upgrades to enhance the fan experience while making much needed infrastructure investments to extend the life of the stadium for many years to come.

These multi-year, multi-phase projects include substantial developments on the exterior plazas, expanding pre and post-game fan enjoyment, with every level undergoing renovations ensuring M&T Bank Stadium remains a world-class year-round venue for all fans.

To promote opportunities for diverse and local businesses to participate in this project, MSA’s Procurement, Compliance, Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Small Business Reserve (SBR) teams hosted outreach, contractor information sessions, and networking events. The overall MBE participation goal for the project was established at 35%. During construction, MSA and our project partners conducted hard-hat tours for state and city officials, stakeholders, and industry professionals to preview the renovations and build relationships. 

The next phase, with construction already underway, includes necessary infrastructure improvements, a high-end social area below the concourse with views and interactions with the players as they enter the field, and transformation of the North Plaza.
