M&T Bank Stadium Jobs and Venue Guide

Last verified August 2, 2026 Venue data verified against the stadium's and team's official sources. How we keep this current

M&T Bank Stadium sits inside the Camden Yards Sports Complex in downtown Baltimore, which is the first thing to understand if you are looking for work there. It is a single-tenant NFL building — the Ravens play about ten dates a year — but it shares a district with Oriole Park at Camden Yards next door, and a lot of Baltimore’s event workforce moves between the two. If you plan your year around only one of them, you will be short of shifts.

This page covers who hires after the 2024 operator change, what the roles pay under Maryland’s wage floor, how the ongoing renovation is changing the building, and the venue background worth knowing.

Who employs you at M&T Bank Stadium

Food and beverage at M&T Bank Stadium changed hands for the 2024 season: Levy Restaurants replaced Aramark, ending a 21-year run. If you worked at the stadium before 2024, or are reading older job advice about it, that is the detail that has gone stale — the transition is covered here.

Work Employer Application path
Concessions, clubs, suites, bars, kitchens Levy Restaurants Compass Group careers portal
Guest services, ushers, ticket takers Baltimore Ravens / stadium operations Ravens careers site
Event security and screening Contracted security vendor Vendor hiring events
Housekeeping and post-event cleaning Contracted janitorial vendor Vendor application
Parking and traffic direction Maryland Stadium Authority contractors Vendor application

The Maryland Stadium Authority owns the building, which matters more than it sounds: the complex is publicly owned, so renovation work, parking, and some facilities roles run through state-contracted arrangements rather than through the team.

Pay and roles

Maryland’s statewide minimum wage is $15.00 an hour, which sets a real floor here — higher than in most southern and midwestern stadium markets. Posted stadium rates generally sit at or above it.

Role What it involves Notes
Concessions stand attendant In-bowl service, restocking, POS Highest headcount; standard entry point
Cashier High-volume point of sale Minimal experience required
Warehouse attendant Moving product to stands before doors Early call times; physical role
Club server Service across the Club Level’s bars and lounges Gratuity share; service experience expected
Suite attendant Premium catering in the 128 suites Best-paid front-of-house work in the building
Bartender Eight full-service Club Level bars plus in-bowl Alcohol-server training required
Line cook / prep Kitchen production Steadier hours than in-bowl roles

Baltimore’s stadium and hospitality workforce has a long organized history, and UNITE HERE Local 7 is the union active in the market. Whether a specific classification at the stadium is covered depends on the employer’s agreement — ask about union status, dues, and the wage scale during hiring rather than assuming either way.

The renovation, and what it means for staffing

A $430 million renovation, funded substantially by Maryland state investment, has been reworking the building in phases. The construction jobs themselves are contracted separately and are not stadium hospitality work. What matters for event staff is what the phases deliver:

  • Expanded concourses and new restrooms — more circulation space, which changes stand layouts and staffing patterns in the bowl.
  • Additional luxury suites — more premium positions, which is where the better-paid front-of-house work sits.
  • Three new plazas with bars, restaurants, and shops — these add service points that operate on event days and, in some cases, outside them.

Levy was brought in partly to support that transformation, so the premium side of the operation is where hiring growth has been concentrated.

The hiring calendar

A single-tenant NFL venue has a sharper season than a dual-tenant one:

  • July–August — the main intake ahead of Ravens preseason. This is the wave to catch; miss it and you are waiting on attrition.
  • September–January — the season, roughly ten home dates plus any playoff run. Playoff games are added on short notice and are the shifts experienced staff compete for.
  • Autumn Saturdays — Navy football home games at the stadium add dates outside the NFL schedule.
  • Late spring and summer — concerts and special events, thinner and less predictable.
  • February–June — the quiet stretch. This is when Baltimore staff typically lean on Orioles baseball next door at Camden Yards, which runs 81 home dates on the opposite seasonal cycle.

That last point is the practical career advice for this market: the football and baseball calendars complement each other almost perfectly, and people who work both get close to year-round hours within a few blocks.

Getting to work

  • The stadium is at 1101 Russell Street, walkable from the Inner Harbor and directly adjacent to Oriole Park.
  • Baltimore Light RailLink has a Hamburg Street stop steps from the stadium, and Camden Station serves both venues — the practical commute for most event staff, since event-day parking downtown is priced for fans.
  • MARC train service to Camden Station connects the venue to Washington, D.C. and points along the corridor, though weekend service is limited.
  • Food and beverage call times typically run four to five hours before kickoff.

Venue background

M&T Bank Stadium opened on September 6, 1998 as Ravens Stadium at Camden Yards, built for about $220 million and designed by HOK Sport — now Populous — to complement the neighbouring ballpark rather than compete with it. M&T Bank has held naming rights since 2003, with the deal extended through 2037. It was the first outdoor professional sports facility to earn LEED Gold certification.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Levy Restaurants, from the 2024 season. Levy replaced Aramark, which had run the building for 21 years. Concessions, premium clubs, suites, and stadium kitchens are all Levy positions, and applications go through the Compass Group careers portal rather than through the Ravens.

Maryland’s statewide minimum wage is $15.00 an hour, which sets the floor for stadium hospitality roles at M&T Bank Stadium. Most posted concessions rates sit at or above that floor, and premium roles with a gratuity share run higher. Confirm the rate in the official listing.

Fewer than at a dual-tenant or year-round venue. The Ravens play about ten home dates including preseason, and the building adds Navy football, concerts, and occasional special events. Many Baltimore stadium workers pick up additional shifts elsewhere in the Camden Yards complex or at other downtown venues to build a fuller schedule.

Baltimore’s stadium and hospitality workforce has a long organized history, and UNITE HERE Local 7 is the relevant union in the market. Coverage depends on the classification and the employer’s agreement, so ask about union status, dues, and the applicable wage scale during hiring rather than assuming.

Yes, on two fronts. The construction work itself is contracted separately and is not stadium hospitality employment. But the finished result — additional suites, three new plazas with bars, restaurants, and shops, and expanded concourses — adds permanent event-day service positions once each phase opens.
