We still have our seats from the stadium at my Fathers house. Always take time to sit in them for a bit when I visit.

My first Ravens game was there as the Ravens took on Brett Favre and the packers!

Colts yes, Ravens I have only seen at M&T. I had a sick newborn/baby the first 2 years the team was here. He's going with me to the Jets game.

I went to the first preseason game against the Eagles and the first Regular season game against the Raiders. I sat usually in the open endzone section. I also went to the last game against the Tennesee Oilers and remember getting searched to make sure I did not take home a piece of the stadium.

My first professional football game I ever went to was the last game at Memorial Stadium.
I remember having a huge beam obstructing my view of the field which sucked but I also
remember how crazy it got with people taking all the seats and bleachers with them.
There were huge piles of seats and stuff at a lot of the gates from security saying people
couldnt take it then I remember a group of guys bending up an entire bleacher row and sliding
it down the middle aisle of the bus as we left. Totally crazy but a great time and I had season
tix for 6-7 years before I moved to NC.

Never saw the Ravens at Memorial Stadium but some of my fondest football memories was watching the Baltimore Colts play there in the 60s and 70s...I grew up just across the street from then Morgan State and my dad would drive us down to near the reservior and we'd hike up the hill to the stadium...I was even there for the Colts-Steelers playoff in 76 and left right before the doc crash landed his plane in the upper deck...
