I want to go to the camp because I simply love the Ravens. I breathe purple and from where I come from, the national bird is almost purple too! To avoid speculation, it is the peacock and I am a migrant from India and a very proud American!

Why then you may wonder am I addicted to Ravens football when I grew up playing and watching cricket? Clearly I didn't know football then! But, when I did and understood the nuances that go into making this game so fabulous to watch and follow, I became an addict. While going to grad school in Connecticut, my first football jersey was that of the Dallas Cowboys. They had just won the SB in 1991 and I was hooked to the NFL and the Cowboys. Then it was after settling down in MD and waiting for the Raven to land in 1996!

Ever since, I have been an avid fan and a diabolical follower of all things 'Ravens'! I follow it while on vacation in India, follow it prior to bed-time, get a quick check in early morning and every chance I get in-between! So, I think I deserve the chance to attend the Training camp for a day at the Castle and so does my wife who now sports Ravens gear to work every Friday! All because of me! So reward me with a day at the Castle O' venerable one! You will make me a very happy man! That day I get to see and enjoy every player I love on the team - every single one of them...

Oops I just realized I was a little too late for the giveaway but hey I tried my heart out!

I've won stuff on here before, so its best to share the wealth. But its always fun playing the game.

Besides, the [color=#daa520]golden ticket[/color] at my door wasn't actually for Ravens training camp as I originally thought. Turns out that it was tickets to go into this wacky candy factory. I gave it to my cousin Charlie, cause he's weird like that, and the tour date was on the same date as Ravens vs Steelers. I wouldn't miss that for the world!

Hope you guys have fun. Remember it is your duty to report back to us and debrief.

Arguing with Steelers fans is a hopeless cause. Let's just hope that they fall apart this year.

And that we have a large part in that.

[font=times new roman,times,serif]I want to come to training camp because someone in the [color=#800080]Ravens[/color] organization has taken away a tradition that began in 1953 in Westminster. Why?[/font]

[font=times new roman,times,serif]In 2011, over 110,000 fans attended training camp!!! These are some of the same fans that were in attendance when Memorial Stadium was renamed "[i]the world's largest outdoor insane asylum[/i]." These are some of the same fans who like me, CANNOT AFFORD game day tickets. How does [color=#800080]Ravens[/color] management reward such loyalty? By closing down Westminster, of course. [/font]

[font=times new roman,times,serif]Three years ago, I introduced my girlfriend to the training camp experience - she was immediately hooked. Now you're telling me that I have to enter some sort of lottery to support my [color=#800080]Ravens[/color][/font]!!

[font=times new roman,times,serif][color=#444444]As quoted in the Baltimore Business Journal, [/color][color=#800080]Ravens[/color][color=#444444] owner Steve Biscotti [/color][color=#444444]said he had mixed feelings about the move. [/color][/font][font='times new roman', times, serif][color=#444444]“[i]We completely understand that this takes away an important part of our connection with our fans. I regret that,[/i]” Bisciotti said in a statement. “[i]Hopefully, we can find other ways to continue this outreach. We’ll have more to say on this as we develop these programs[/i].” [/color][/font]

[font='times new roman', times, serif][color=#444444]Do the right thing, Steve - bring the [/color][color=#800080]Ravens Nation[/color][color=#444444] and the [/color][color=#800080]Ravens[/color][color=#444444] back to Westminster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/color][/font]

Im bitter...thought my entry was good

[BigMike]

Went out to training camp at the castle today! It was a great time. What a class organization. I'll try to post some pictures soon. Just wanted to take a moment to thank the staff there (S.A.F.E and the other folks). They really made the fans feel welcome. Seeing the castle and the players was great, but you folks put in the extra effort to make sure we all had a great time. THANKS ALOT!!!!

I won 4 tickets to Wednesday, August 1st's Training camp, received the email and everything, but I still have not received the parking pass and it's already Sunday. I have to leave Tuesday because I live all the way in South Carolina. I don't know what to do.

My husband, sons, and I are planning on going to the stadium on August 4th for the training camp practice. My sons are 4 and almost eight months, so autographs aren't their favorite thing right now, but my oldest loves football, and we're embracing Baltimore with all we have! (recently moved here) Is there any training camp codes/rules that people need to be aware of before they attend?

Well before even posting on here i've tried 2 of those 3 things. A couple days ago I called the ticket office phone number and it's completely automated and none of the options help me. Also tried to use the "Contact us", but 3 days and no answer. I'll try to reply to the email and see what happens.

[RavensAlways21]

Well, I got no response from any sources what so ever....Guess we'll see what happens, leaving tomorrow.

EDIT: Got the parking pass ect...just now today. Better late than never. One day before I had to leave too.

[Moderator 3]

Glad to hear it arrived. This is a VERY busy time of the year for the front office and I'm sure they have a backlog of questions to address.
