M&T Bank Stadium is a multi-purpose football stadium located in Baltimore, Maryland. It is the home of the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League. The stadium is immediately adjacent to Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the home of the Baltimore Orioles. Often referred to as "Ravens Stadium", M&T Bank Stadium officially opened in 1998, and is currently one of the most praised stadiums in the NFL for fan amenities, ease of access, concessions and other facilities. The stadium was originally known as Ravens Stadium at Camden Yards, until PSINet acquired the naming rights in 1999, naming it PSINet Stadium. It then reverted to Ravens Stadium in 2002 when PSINet filed for bankruptcy.Served by the Hamburg Street station of the Baltimore Light Rail, the stadium originally featured a natural grass surface. However, an artificial surface, Sportexe Momentum Turf, was installed for the 2003 season, which in turn was replaced by a new-generation Sportexe Momentum 51 in 2010. On December 4, 2015 the Ravens announced that in 2016 the team will go back to natural grass playing surface at M&T Bank Stadium, in which it had not been used since 2002. Lloyd Civil & Sports Engineering provided engineering design and construction oversight in both the 2003 and 2016 field conversions. The listed capacity for M&T Bank Stadium is 71,008.

The Hippodrome Theatre is a theater in Baltimore, Maryland. Built in 1914 for impresarios Marion Scott Pearce and Scheck, the 2300-seat theater was the foremost vaudeville house in Baltimore, as well as a movie theater. When the movie palace opened it was the largest theatre south of Philadelphia. The Hippodrome was designed by Thomas W. Lamb, one of the foremost theater architects of his time. Lamb gave the theater an unusually strong presence on Eutaw Street through the use of brick and terra cotta on a massive façade. The Hippodrome was renovated in 2004 for use as a performing arts theater, and is part of the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center.The site had previously been occupied by the five story Eutaw House Hotel, built in 1835 and destroyed by fire on May 25, 1912. The new theater had an original capacity of 3,000 seats and boasted a Moller organ, as well as a house orchestra that survived into the 1950s. The Loew's chain operated the Hippodrome from 1917 to 1924, then Keith-Albee-Orpheum assumed stewardship. In 1920 the average weekly attendance was 30,000. During the 1930s the Hippodrome featured such performers as Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Martha Raye, Dinah Shore, Red Skelton, The Three Stooges, the Andrews Sisters, Morey Amsterdam and Benny Goodman. Frank Sinatra first performed with Harry James at the Hippodrome. Live performances ceased in 1959, but movies remained strong through the 1960s. The Hippodrome finally closed in 1990 as the last movie theater in downtown Baltimore.

A HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF THE WAR MEMORIAL The War Memorial was designed as a ‘place of meeting for all veteran, patriotic and civic organizations, a depository for trophies of wars in which our country has engaged, and a tribute to those citizens of Maryland who gave their lives and services to their country in World War I.’ In 1919 the Governor of Maryland and the Mayor of Baltimore appointed a joint building commission. Subsequently they selected an architectural advisor and, through a nationwide architectural competition, a building design which fulfilled the purposes of the memorial. The winning design was that of Baltimore architect Laurence Hall Fowler. On November 22, 1921, ground was broken at the southeast corner of Lexington and Gay Streets by Ferdinand Foch, Marshall of France. The cornerstone was laid by Acting Secretary of War, Colonel Dwight F. Davis, the Governor of Maryland, Albert C. Ritchie, and the Mayor of Baltimore, William F. Broening on April 29, 1923. The War Memorial was dedicated on April 5, 1925. The War Memorial was constructed at a cost of $1,100,000.00, exclusive of the site. Both the state and city governments have always shared the expense of the building and its maintenance. On November 6, 1977, Mayor William Donald Schaefer rededicated the building as a memorial to the Marylanders who gave their lives in all of America's twentieth century wars. The War Memorial and the Memorial Plaza cover two city blocks, and face City Hall. The large white Neoclassical building with its six columns and broad steps houses a number of offices which serve as administrative headquarters for veterans of the armed forces. In addition, it houses an assembly room that is used by various civic and veteran groups for community meetings and social functions. On the second floor there is a 1000-seat auditorium. The names of all 1,752 Marylanders who died during World War I are inscribed on the walls, and large shields bear the insignias of many military divisions. Covering the west end of the interior balcony wall is a classical style mural by Baltimore-artist, R. McGill Mackall, depicting, ‘A Sacrifice to Patriotism.’ The high-ceiling interior is softened and embellished through the use of dark-red marble in the vestibule, Belgian block and marble in the main room and Italian Travertine marble floors throughout the building. The War Memorial building contributes to the Business and Government National Register Historic District. Around the top of the building is inscribed the names of all the counties of Maryland and Baltimore City. On the terrace in front of the building on the west facade, are two sculptured sea horses, the work of Edmond R. Amateis of New York, which represent the "Might of America crossing the seas to aid our allies." Against one of these horses is carved the coat of arms of the State of Maryland surmounted by an osprey representing the Navy; and against the other the coat of arms of the City of Baltimore, surmounted by an eagle representing the army. The War Memorial Building is supervised by the War Memorial Commission. The Commission is a ten-member group of veterans, five of whom are appointed by the Secretary of Veteran's Affairs with the Governor's approval and the other five of which are appointed by the Mayor of Baltimore.
