The major renovations scheduled for M&T Bank Stadium are designed to enhance the overall fan experience and ensure that the stadium continues to be one of the premier venues in the NFL.
Expanding Carter Machinery’s Influence
This partnership marks an important milestone for Carter Machinery, as it builds on the company’s continued expansion in the Baltimore region. In 2020, Carter Machinery acquired Alban CAT, a Baltimore-based construction equipment supplier, which further strengthened its presence in the area. The partnership with the Ravens allows Carter Machinery to reinforce its commitment to the local community, while also continuing to grow its reputation as a dependable provider of high-quality heavy equipment solutions.
Carter Machinery has been a trusted name in the construction and heavy equipment industry for nearly a century.

This partnership also helps solidify Carter Machinery’s position as a leader in the region, providing valuable equipment and support to both public and private sector projects. As a company that prides itself on its work ethic and dedication to excellence, Carter Machinery sees this collaboration with the Ravens as an opportunity to contribute to a major community initiative and further demonstrate its capabilities in high-profile settings.
Enhancing Fan Experience Through Renovations
The renovations planned for M&T Bank Stadium are designed with the fan experience at the forefront. As the NFL continues to evolve, so too does the demand for modern, technology-driven stadiums that offer fans a seamless and enjoyable experience. The partnership between Carter Machinery and the Ravens will ensure that the stadium is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, from upgraded access points to enhanced technology systems that make the stadium more user-friendly and engaging for fans.
Carter Machinery will play an instrumental role in ensuring these improvements are executed efficiently and effectively. The expansion of plaza activation areas, for example, is part of a broader trend in sports venue design, where the focus is shifting toward creating spaces that are interactive and immersive for fans both before and after the game. With the support of Carter Machinery’s high-quality equipment, the Ravens will be able to deliver an unparalleled experience that enhances every aspect of a fan’s visit to M&T Bank Stadium.

Both organizations have deep ties to the Baltimore area, and the partnership underscores their shared commitment to supporting local initiatives. For Carter Machinery, being involved with the Ravens is an opportunity to further demonstrate its dedication to the region and to invest in its future. For the Ravens, it is a chance to work with a partner that understands the importance of quality, dependability, and service to the local community.
Carter Machinery’s involvement in the renovation of M&T Bank Stadium is just one way the company is making a lasting impact on the area.
