Fields of Play
When the Ravens came to Baltimore in 1996, they began play in Memorial Stadium, which had previously belonged to the Colts. However, the stadium was old and inadequate, and was torn down in 2001. The 1998 season marked the opening of brand new PSI Net Stadium. In 2001, the PSI Net company went bankrupt, and the stadium was simply called Ravens Stadium. Some fans wanted the stadium named after Johnny Unitas, but it was renamed M&T Bank Stadium after a contract signed with M&T Bank.

“To the Ocean now I fly,
And those happy climes that ly

Up in the broad fields of the sky:”

“When I began to have a fire at evening, before I plastered my house, the chimney carried smoke particularly well, because of the numerous chinks between the boards.... Should not every apartment in which man dwells be lofty enough to create some obscurity overhead, where flickering shadows may play at evening about the rafters? These forms are more agreeable to the fancy and imagination than fresco paintings or other the most expensive furniture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
