most people call baltimore a small market but it obviously is not reflected on the monetary side of the ball
Baltimore is at No. 10 with a net worth of $1.062 billion. cowboys are tops no wonder

I'm interested in buying the Ravens, I don't know though, 1.whatever billion seems a little steep. Got anything in a diet or light variety?

It's not that unbelievable. Fairly new stadium that is in great shape. Sellouts all around. Ray Lewis is a merchandise monster. I can see how we'd be higher than say, TEN, and JAX, and CIN and plenty of teams like those. Go Biscotti! Woot!

Edit: Whoa, Houston being that high is pretty crazy to me...

I am not surprised at all. We have a beautiful stadium, amazing fans, extremely marketable players, etc.

The newer stadium is a top reason the team is worth so much.

well i guess it just goes to show everyone that Size truly doesnt matter in this aspect, and that this shows that the City of Baltimore may be small.... alot smaller than most other cities with football teams BUT the fact that we have a huge fanbase both in the U.S. as well as in foreign countries (UK and such) for us to be ranked within the top 10 on this list, really says alot about the baltimore and the people that support their team(s).

Houston is also the forth largest city in the U.S. so they are up there by sheer population.
