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.

“If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.”

“Or seen the furrows shine but late upturned,
And where the fieldfare followed in the rear,
When all the fields around lay bound and hoar
Beneath a thick integument of snow.
So by Gods cheap economy made rich
To go upon my winters task again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The guided missiles,
The black-and-white angels follow each quirk and jink of
The evasive sheep, play grandmothers-steps behind them,
Freeze to the ground, or leap to head off a straggler”
—Cecil Day Lewis (19041972)
