M&T Bank Stadium

Location:

Baltimore, MD

Client:

Gilbane Building Company

Background

The Maryland Stadium Authority has announced a $430 million plan to renovate M&T Bank Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens, over the next three years. The upgrades will include the construction of the North Plaza, an open-air space designed for tailgating and concerts, with viewing areas, an indoor sports bar, and a 7,000-square-foot retail area. Additionally, The Blackwing will feature 10 luxury suites connected to a private club. The Gatehouse will feature two levels of social space, a large screen, and a rooftop deck with panoramic views of the city. These updates, along with other infrastructure improvements, aim to enhance the overall experience for fans.

Schnabel’s Solution

In May 2024, Gilbane Construction Company contracted with Schnabel to design and construct an earthretention system and deep foundations for the below-grade renovations at M&T Bank Stadium. As part of the project, Schnabel installed over 14,000 square feet of permanent shotcrete foundation walls, reinforced by more than 700 soil nails. They also installed 40 out of 52 permanent cased micropiles on the Upper Concourse using Schnabel’s Klemm 806-4GM and 350 out of 400 hollow bar micropiles. All of this was done during the 2024 offseason from June to September using two rental MC8D drills. The remaining micropile work will be completed in the 2025 offseason when the Endzone stands are removed and the remaining Upper Concourse area is made available.

Results

The client set an aggressive timeline to ensure the stadium would be ready for the start of the 2024 NFL season. To meet these tight deadlines, Schnabel’s crew worked overtime and night shifts, while the R&D department ensured the most efficient methods were used. Schnabel’s equipment division also made sure the field team had the necessary tools to complete the job as quickly as possible.

Despite numerous operational and equipment challenges, Schnabel installed quality work within the timeframe allotted. Their earth retention work at M&T Bank Stadium will support the client’s efforts to upgrade the 26-year-old facility, enhancing the gameday experience for Baltimore Ravens fans.
