Planning a trip to see the Baltimore Ravens requires more than just buying a ticket. M&T Bank Stadium seats over 70,000 fans in an open-air layout, meaning your view, comfort, and exposure to the elements change drastically depending on where you sit. Whether you want to scream alongside the loyal fanbase in the lower bowl or find a budget-friendly sideline view in the upper deck, understanding the layout is essential.
This guide breaks down every seating level, highlights the best value blocks, maps out where the player benches sit, and explains how seat numbers work so you don't wander down the wrong aisle on game day.
M&T Bank Stadium Seating Layout Overview
The stadium is split into four primary vertical tiers: the Lower Bowl (100 level), the Club Level (200 level), the Suite Levels (300 and 400 levels), and the Upper Bowl (500 and 600 levels). Each tier offers a distinct perspective of the field and access to different stadium amenities.
The facility is completely open-air, meaning December and January games in Baltimore bring chilly winds and occasional snow. Knowing your tier helps you prepare for both the action and the weather. You can explore the official layout directly through the Baltimore Ravens Seating Chart before purchasing individual tickets or personal seat licenses.
Lower Bowl (100 Level)
The lower bowl wraps entirely around the field, putting you right next to the players, coaches, and sideline action.
- Prime Sidelines: Sections 110 through 130 offer the most coveted sightlines in the entire stadium. If you want true 50-yard line views, target sections 117 through 122.
- The Benches: The Baltimore Ravens team bench sits directly in front of sections 125 through 128. The visiting team bench is positioned on the opposite side in front of sections 100, 101, 152, and 153.
- Quirks to Watch: A handful of sections in the lower bowl—specifically 106, 108, 118, 120, 133, 135, 145, and 147—do not extend all the way down to field level due to structural tunnels. If you sit in the very front rows of these sections, your view might be elevated higher above the field than you expect.
Club Level (200 Level)
Located directly above the lower bowl on the sidelines, the 200 level is dedicated entirely to club seating. This tier is built for fans who want premium comfort without sacrificing viewing angles.
- Amenities: Club ticket holders gain access to climate-controlled lounges featuring high-definition televisions, eight full-service bars, upscale food options, and private escalators.
- Seat Comfort: The seats in this tier are wider, padded, and feature more legroom than standard stadium seating.
- Perspective: Because the 200 level sits at a slightly higher elevation than the top of the lower bowl, you get an elevated tactical view of plays developing downfield, similar to a coach's camera angle.
Upper Bowl (500 and 600 Levels)
If you are looking for tickets on the secondary market that won't break the bank, the upper bowl is where you will spend most of your search.
- Best Value: Sections 518 through 528 on the sideline offer full, unobstructed views of the entire field at a fraction of the cost of lower-level seats.
- Atmosphere and Corners: The upper-level end zone and corner sections (particularly in the 540s through 560s) place you high above the action. While tickets are cheap, tracking fast-paced plays on the far end of the field can be difficult from this height. These areas are also the most exposed to winter winds.
Understanding Seat Numbers and Rows
M&T Bank Stadium follows a consistent numbering logic, but there is one major exception you need to know to avoid confusion.
- The Standard Rule: Seat number 1 is always located closest to the adjacent section with the lower section number. For example, if you are sitting in Section 129, seat 1 will be right next to the highest seat number in Section 128. Conversely, higher seat numbers border the section with the higher number.
- The Section 100 Exception: Because the lower bowl numbers loop around, Section 100 sits right next to Section 153. Seat 1 in Section 100 is positioned directly adjacent to the highest seat in Section 153.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do away team fans sit?
Visiting team supporters usually gather in the upper-level end zone sections (typically in the 500s and 600s) where group tickets are readily available. Because Ravens home crowds are notoriously loud, sitting with fellow away fans offers a safer and more welcoming environment for visiting supporters.
What are the best seats for families?
If you are attending with children and want to avoid the rowdy atmosphere of the general end zones, look for lower-row seats in the upper sideline sections (518–528) or higher rows in the lower bowl. These areas provide clear sightlines without being directly inside the loudest supporter pockets.
How do I find ADA-accessible seating?
Accessible seating platforms are located at the top of most seating sections throughout the stadium. Companion folding chairs can be provided right next to wheelchair spaces. When buying tickets online, use accessibility filters to ensure you select verified ADA inventory.
Can I tailgate before the game?
Tailgating is a massive part of the game-day culture in Baltimore. The main stadium lots require reserved parking passes, but private satellite lots and spaces near Sharp Street and Ostend Street open four to five hours before kickoff and welcome arriving fans.
