Chargers would have been better off moving to San Antonio where they'd have the whole market to themselves. Next year they will play in the Stubhub Center until the stadium in in Inglewood is ready. At least they have a good chance of filling that little soccer stadium.

Fact: Ballpark scenes for Major League II were filmed in Baltimore stadiums. Camden Yards was the Indians home field and Memeorial Stadium was used for the visiting teams park,and was home to the last baseball team to play there, the O's AA Affiliate Bowie Baysox which played there until there stadium there was ready. I like the directors version of Hoosiers with the actual game between Milan and South Bend Central. Also like MIghty Macs about the Immaculatta Women's Basketball team which was the first power house in the sport

I won the training camp lottery last year and they those who went first class treatment, besides being shuttled there in Luxury Motorcoach, there was free bottled water, Popsicles and the restrooms in the trailers were 15 degrees cooler than outside. This year they ought to have 3 public practices at the stadium, instead of 2.

Looks like they'll have a name by the 25th.

Gibbs was an assistant under Coryell in San Diego. Gibbs probably bled burgundy and gold and that's why he didn't take the Ravens job, although he should have stayed in NASCAR where he was successful as his own boss of a racing originzatin, than come back to the Skins where Snyder was desperate to hire him.

That's why Phase I of renovations will deal with ribbon boards on the Upper Level and new larger Ravensvision video boards at both ends of the stadium. Its easier putting them in. Probably the last phase will be how to put in upper level escalators, which will need some engineering work. The story I heard on why M&T Bank Stadium didn't have upper level escalators when it opened was that Art Modell had problems in Cleveland Municipal Stadium maintainining them. But then again the place was so run down, especially with the plumbing that they had porta potties on the concourse in most parts.

Nope, we were there for 3 weeks and left due poor attendance due to a falling out with the owners. We went to Mason Inn which was DC's Ravens Nest, but has failed out of favor since new management took over, we spent a couple of weeks at Crystal City Sport Pub and we decided with the holidays to have meetups next season.

Things could be worse, you could be a Browns Fan.

Suggs will be the next member of the Ring of Honor after he retires

Sorry you missed it, but there is a Ravens bar in the Glover Park section of DC called the Mason Inn, that bills itself as "DCs Ravens Nest" The DC/Northern Virginia Meetup group usually meets at the Crystal City Sports Pub.

Its a Baltimore team owned by a Washington Owner. https://www.facebook.com/BaltimoreAFL/?fref=ts The second Mariners team played 2 out 4 home games and played the rest of the season on the road due to poor attendance. They won the title, but folded after the season.

They're even cheaper that StubHub on most tickets.

Joe Gibbs is the only coach to win 3 Super Bowls with 3 different quarterbacks, Thiesmann, Williams and Rypen. In the book Next Man Up, he was the original choice to replace Ted Marchibroda on the Ravens, but he was not interested and they got Brian Billick instead.

LA had it twice and Atlanta once. Although LA is a finalist for the 2024 games, along with Brussels and Paris.

They've moved from Oakland to LA to Oakland again. Although the first two years of the AFL, they played home games in San Francisco sharing Kezar Stadium with the 49ers and Candlestick Park. Their first stadium in Oakland, Frank Youell Field was a temporary location that held 20,000 and was named after an Undertaker and local Sports Booster.

Lake Placid twice and Salt Lake City. That's enough Winter games for the US.. If the Summer Games were in DC, Incessant rambling-superferous talk would be a demonstration sport.

Phase 1 will be the scoreboards and the ribbon messages on the top level to be completed next season, they'll get some engineers and start work on the upper level escalators later. I'm just happy the Ravens are paying for it.

You're going to hate me for telling this but not only Jack Kent Cooke blocked expansion, but so did Art Modell, because he was having financial troubles in Cleveland back then, and wanted the Baltimore market for himself. John Moag head of the Maryland Stadium Authority went with him over, Al Davis, the Cardinals and the Bucs because he felt that organization offered the best chance of success for this town.

Ted Leonsis said in a an interview that a name will be chosen in 30 days, I expect to be as lame like the Washington Valor. He also said there might be one more expansion to make an even 6, Ted said it might be in Newark at the Prudential Center, other rumors are St. Louis.

The first Baltimore Bullets team in the 1940s played in the BAA which merged with the NBL to become the NBA, they folded in the early 50s. The second Bullets team started in Chicago as the Packers, then the Zephyrs before Abe Pollin, Arnold Heft and Earl Foreman bought the team in 1963, to become the second version of the franchise. Abe bought out his partners in 1968, and in the early 70s played some home games in College Park at Cole Field House where they drew better and moved the team to Landover in 1973. There was an ABA team that was supposed to play at the Civic Center called the Baltimore Claws, because the nickname Hustlers had negative meaning in 1977, however they folded when they could post a financial bond, and the offices were padlocked.

Ray Jauch couldn't cut in the states, he was the first Coach of the USFL Washington Federals and was fired after the first game of the 1984 season, would up coaching a High School team in Northern Virginia and then coach the Arena Football Chicago Bruisers in the first full season of the League. Then he went back to Canada and coached the Saskatwan Rough Riders before retiring.

Baltimore also shared an Arena League team with Washington for one season as the Maryland Commandos, probably when Abe Pollen's Center Management group ran the Arena. The season was split between Charm City and the Capital Centre. Back then the Bullets played a game or two up there and the Skipjacks were the Caps AHL affiliate. Later minor league indoor football was played by the Blackbirds who became the Mariners. The Baltimore Lightening was supposed to start play this season, but they might want to move. My suggestion for a head coach would be one of the assistants from the Philly Soul.

In Rockville, MD I go to Giant, I used to go to Safeway aka Safewait but the new store on Rockville Pike has gone downhill after a month.

Unlike in DC where everyone was brainwashed into becoming an Orioles fan by former Redskin owner Edward Bennett Williams under his watch Baltimore area residents had too much civic pride to root for the Redskins. There is one exception the most popular Washington team up there is the Capitals where 30 percent of attendance is from the Baltimore area.

I think they will add one more team before the season starts and have 6 for the year. http://www.baltimoreafl.com/
