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.

Famous quotes containing the words fields of, fields and/or play:
“... my one aim and concentrated purpose shall be and is to show that women can learn, can reason, can compete with men in the grand fields of literature and science ... that a woman can be a woman and a true one without having all her time engrossed by dress and society.”
—M. Carey Thomas (1857–1935)
“It matters little comparatively whether the fields fill the farmer’s barn. The true husbandman will cease from anxiety, as the squirrels manifest no concern whether the woods will bear chestnuts this year or not, and finish his labor with every day, relinquishing all claim to the produce of his fields, and sacrificing in his mind not only his first but his last fruits also.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Within the university ... you can study without waiting for any efficient or immediate result. You may search, just for the sake of searching, and try for the sake of trying. So there is a possibility of what I would call playing. It’s perhaps the only place within society where play is possible to such an extent.”
—Jacques Derrida (b. 1930)
