Multi-year sponsorship deal includes exclusive naming rights to the
suite levels at M&T Bank Stadium
The Baltimore
Ravens today announced that they have named Constellation,
a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation and a leading competitive retail
energy supplier, their “Preferred Energy Choice.” The designation comes
as part of a multi-year sponsorship renewal agreement that gives
Constellation exclusive naming rights of the 300 and 400 suite levels at
M&T Bank Stadium, and includes signage throughout those levels. This is
the first time that the Ravens have welcomed a corporate sponsor at the
suite level of M&T Bank Stadium.
“The Ravens have enjoyed a long relationship with Constellation that has
allowed us to make a positive difference in our community and
environment,” said Kevin Rochlitz, senior vice president of corporate
sales and business development for the Ravens. "We are pleased to have
their support as we continue our efforts to be a model of sustainability
for the NFL and our fans.”
As part of the agreement, Constellation will also serve as the
presenting sponsor of the annual “State of the Ravens” event featuring
General Manager Ozzie Newsome and Head Coach John Harbaugh.
“The Ravens are known for their tactical, smart approach to the game.
It’s no surprise that they’ve taken the same approach to managing their
energy costs and achieving their sustainability goals by teaming with
Constellation,” said Bruce Stewart, senior vice president and chief
marketing officer for Constellation. “Constellation is committed to the
City of Baltimore, and we are pleased to power game day for our hometown
team.”
The sponsorship renewal agreement expands Constellation’s already
extensive relationship with the team. The company has supplied power to
the Under Armour Performance Center, the team’s 200,000-square-foot
headquarters and training facility in Owings Mills, Md., since 2013, and
serves as the “Official Solar Partner of the Baltimore Ravens,” having
recently announced a 375-kilowatt (DC) solar generation project that
will generate approximately 15 percent of the team headquarters’
electricity needs. The Ravens have also worked with Constellation to
match the electricity used during “Green Games” through the purchase of
Green-e Energy* certified wind renewable energy certificates.
The agreement also includes the renewal of Constellation’s
Sacks for Science program. For each sack recorded during the season,
Constellation sponsors a field trip for one local school group to
experience the Maryland Science Center Power Up! energy exhibit.
Entering its third year, the program has funded visits to the Maryland
Science Center for over 3,000 students from 44 local schools.
