The Baltimore Ravens placed a respectable 2nd place in the tough AFC North and went deep into the playoffs, eventually being ousted by Super Bowl winners the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship game. The Ravens are beginning the 2009-2010 season as early favorites to represent the AFC in Super Bowl XLIV. With an impressive defense including Terrell Suggs, Ray Lewis and Ed Reed and a solid offense anchored by 2nd year quarterback Joe Flacco, it’s easy to see why. Get your tickets to M&T Bank Stadium and watch the Ravens live and in person in what is sure to be a winning season.

Some Baltimore Ravens history: Baltimore was home to the Baltimore Colts (now Indianapolis Colts) from 1953 through 1983. This franchise, one of the most respected in the entire NFL, was lured to Indianapolis by that city, which had built a domed stadium that was standing empty. The Irsay family, owners of the Colts, packed up the team's gear and moved it at night to Indianapolis. The city of Baltimore, stunned by the move, turned the tables by coaxing the Cleveland franchise to come to Baltimore.
