Ravens promise $5 beer and $3 hot dogs at M&T Bank Stadium

WASHINGTON — The Baltimore Ravens have drastically lowered concessions prices at M&T Bank Stadium, addressing what it calls one of the biggest fan complaints.

The Baltimore Ravens call it the Flock Friendly Fare. A total of 21 of the most popular menu items have been reduced, with up to a 53 percent savings on a single item. The average price reduction is 33 percent.

“As a lot of you probably know, after every game we survey fans to see how we’re doing — what we’ve done well and not done well. Over the years, one of the biggest criticisms we received was for gameday concessions prices,” Ravens president Dick Casss said.

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti approved the price reductions in March. The Ravens will absorb the cost of the price reductions.

The team says it expects revenue from concessions on gameday will decline by more than $1.5 million, according to Cass.

Among new prices: $5 domestic beer, $3 hot dogs, $2 soft pretzels and $5 nachos.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
