New M&T Bank Stadium smoking policy
From the Ravens' PR Department
New Smoking Policy at M&T Bank Stadium
The Baltimore Ravens have made changes to the designated smoking areas at M&T Bank Stadium in compliance with the newest smoking ordinance in the City of Baltimore. The following changes as to locations and times when smoking is permitted are in effect immediately and impact the lower concourses at M&T Bank Stadium:
Designated areas and times smoking is permitted are noted on the concourse floor and with signage:
• Within the designated areas just inside of Gates A, B, C and D beginning at kickoff.
• Next to the Northwest ramp area opposite of section 148 beginning when gate opens.
(From the press box – opponents side of the field, to the left)
• Inside the Exit Gate opposite of section 142 beginning when gate opens.
(From the press box – farthest area under west SMARTVISION board,
to the left)
• Inside the Exit Gate opposite of section 138 beginning when gate opens.
(From the press box – closest area under west SMARTVISION board,
to the left)
• Inside the Press Gate Entry (opposite of section 126) beginning when gate opens.
(Outside of Media Will Call Lobby and straight ahead)
• No smoking is permitted on any of the bridges leading to the press box.
• Inside the Gate opposite Section 105 beginning at kickoff.
(From the press box – opponents side of the field, to the right)
For the health and comfort of Baltimore Ravens guests, smoking is not permitted in the seating areas, restrooms or on Suite balconies or Club Level bridges. Smoking areas on Club Level include the ramps and stairs outside of the Club Level, as well as the ramps and open concourses on the upper and lower levels.
Guests who fail to comply with the Smoking Policy after appropriate warnings may be subject to ejection from M&T Bank Stadium.

I think the designated smoking area should be confined to the scenic waterway just southeast of the stadium under the lightrail tracks.

BFD--they just need to enforce the one they already had.

Re: New M&T Bank Stadium smoking policy
Have you heard of someone allergic to pollen? How would we ban that? How about peanuts? Those could instantly kill someone if they inadvertently ate one.
What did all of these people with "smoke allergies" do 15 years ago when people could smoke in airplanes, movie theaters, malls, even hospitals? How did they ever cope in a world where people's liberties were protected?

Re: New M&T Bank Stadium smoking policy
We didnt cope. We coughed, choaked and otherwise was absolutely miserable surrounded by smoke that was not of our choice.
Hmm ... that's funny. Because when I read the Constitution -- both US and Maryland versions, I dont see a right to smoke anywhere. Maybe you can find it?
For all intents and purposes, the stadium, when occupied by the Ravens, is a private property venue. Just as if you are to rent an apartment -- only in this case, they rent the space (for lack of a better term) from the state of Maryland.
Just you or I can make any rule in our home, they have that same right.
