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 and/or play:
“For wheresoe’er I turn my ravished eyes,
Gay gilded scenes and shining prospects rise,
Poetic fields encompass me around,
And still I seem to tread on classic ground.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“There are men from whom nature or some peculiar destiny has removed the cover beneath which we hide our own madness. They are like thin-skinned insects whose visible play of muscles seem to make them deformed, though in fact, everything soon turns to its normal shape again.”
—E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
