Ravens games are the premier event in Baltimore on a fall Sunday afternoon. Each game brings tens of thousands of people into the city, and the Ravens’ Stadium Operations team is responsible for those guests seamlessly and safely getting in and out of M&T Bank Stadium.
“We are basically bringing together of small city of 70,000 for a period of four hours,” Sr. Vice President of Stadium Operations Roy Sommerhof said. “They’re coming together, hanging out here and then leaving. It’s kind of like moving an Army for four hours.”
It’s a daunting task. And running a stadium is far more sophisticated than unlocking the gates and ushering fans to their seats.
