The Maryland Stadium Authority contributed $300,000 in "tax dollars to the Ravens" for the Nov. 12 Navy-Notre Dame matchup in front of 62,124 at M&T Bank Stadium, according to Hayes Gardner of the BALTIMORE SUN. The MSA as stadium owner and the Ravens “split the profit or loss" from events held at M&T Bank Stadium. The stadium authority has given the Ravens about $2.4M for the "past four Navy games in Baltimore: $900,000 each for the 2014 and 2016 Army vs. Navy games and $345,532.61 for a 2014 game against Ohio State." Earlier this year, the MSA gave the Ravens $150,000 for “hosting the Arsenal vs. Everton soccer match.” There is "no formal agreement between the stadium authority and the Ravens to bring in future events.” The Orioles meanwhile have said that sharing revenue from such events with the stadium authority is a "'significant disincentive' to the team bringing in future events" (BALTIMORE SUN, 11/18).
