The Baltimore Ravens were on the road Sunday, but M&T Bank Stadium still felt like gameday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fans gathered throughout the renovated North Plaza for the Ravens\u2019 first watch party, taking in Baltimore\u2019s matchup against the Indianapolis Colts while experiencing some of the new spaces created through the stadium\u2019s multi-year renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event included food, fan activations, a crab feast inside the Xfinity FlockYard and a postgame performance from Soulja Boy. But beyond giving fans somewhere to gather for an away game, the watch party also offered a look at the larger vision behind the stadium improvements<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ravens President Sashi Brown has said one of the organization\u2019s goals is to make M&T Bank Stadium a more active part of downtown Baltimore throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPart of that was making sure that this building was activated more than 10, 12 times a year,\u201d Brown told Double Take Sports while discussing the renovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brown pointed to the broader investment taking place downtown, including development around the harbor, renovations at Oriole Park and activity surrounding CFG Bank Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
