Protect this House!

Securing our premises and ensuring the comfort and safety of those millions of fans who visit Camden Yards every year is paramount to the Maryland Stadium Authority.  Our security team is vigilant and resourceful in their efforts to address all threats.

Therefore, it was not surprising to see they've picked up an additional sentry to guard M&T Bank Stadium.  This candid shot was caught on the security camera his first day on duty.

Our red tail hawk is the newest recruit in the ongoing battle against bomb dropping pigeons.  Oriole Park has been outfitted with netting to discourage roosting in the rafters, so we'll have to see which system works better.

While the Tower of London has been protected by ravens for more than 400 years, we don't think Rise and Conquor are quite ready for that assignment in our fortress.  But if this feathered fan is successful in keeping M&T pigeon free, we may offer him a contract to train R & C to patrol the upper deck.

After all, if ravens have protected the Crown Jewels all these years,  a plague of pigeons should pose no problem.
