The upper levels of M&T Bank Stadium are completely open aired. There are no overhangs to protect you from the elements like you'll find at Centurylink Field or Lincoln Financial Field so dress accordingly.

Section 501, row 8 was where I sat in 2009 when the Kansas City Chiefs were in town. That was the home opener that year. The view of the field is great and about as good as you could do at this particular venue. I think the best outlet for Ravens tickets is via the Ticket Exchange and you're looking at $100+ per ticket in 501 for almost every game. FYI, the upper level end zones will sit closer to the field if it matters.
