Big Turk Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 M & T Bank is a Buffalo based company and official bank of the Bills and a major sponsor, but also has naming rights on Baltimore's stadium(M & T Bank Stadium) and has quite a few employees in the DC, Maryland, Virginia area(17,000 I believe I read). For the record all M & T will say is "We love both our teams so we just hope they both do well". The man should go into politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little different when you are a major sponsor/official bank of a team... I guess it's not really a weird position because people in the Baltimore area will root for Baltimore and people in this area will root for the Bills but it's just kind of funny. 5 minutes ago, teef said: my brother works for m & t. i'm going to call him right now a be such a dick. I work for a bank too, tho not M & T. Gotta love the bank holidays... True story, in my first year there I had never been off on any of the bank/school holidays since I started working 20+ years ago, and since I work from home a lot, I ended up working on Good Friday even though I was technically off, since I didn't know. Found out at like 4pm that it was a holiday when I texted my buddy and asked why nobody was responding to my emails that day, haha...got made fun of pretty good for a while after that one...

Yeah same for us, it's called core leave, force you take at least 2 weeks off in a row at some point during the year. They also let us leave early on the day before a holiday most times too, usually around 2pm...its really nice on long weekends that is for sure.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) What I found funny is that the Astros had some home games relocated to Tampa last season due to Harvey. So instead of playing at Minute Maid Park, they played at Tropicana Field. Also, the Bisons play at Coca Cola Field, and Lehigh Valley, in their same division, play at Coca Cola Park.
