Well the starting crowd was pretty good. Empty seats here and there. The place definitely cleared out as the game progressed because of the rain/Browns.

I felt really bad for Jamal Lewis. There weren't many people in the stands (either going to bathroom or seeking shelter) when he was inducted into the ring of honor. It was a nice ceremony.

Yes it was. My friend and I left with 2 minutes left in the first half to grab something to eat so we could return in time for the ceromoney. I was so glad to see it in person. I seem to notice people were leaving especially in my section when the rain came down hard. By the end of the game it went from a full row of people to 5 people in the entire row. For me, I enjoyed it because I'm a traditionalist you could say. I'll sit in the rain at the stadium and get drenched, it's FOOTBALL WEATHER!

Also that win gave us our 10th straight Divisional Win dating back to the end of 2009.

so...after all of that, looks like no one here knows why or when the all black uniforms are worn?
see a lot of comments, but no facts

"It has not yet been released when the Ravens will wear the alternate uniforms this year, but they can only be used twice a year (and not during the playoffs). The Ravens have worn the black jerseys twice a year in each of the last four seasons" .....courtesy of ....

Fact #1 : The reason why we have the black alternate jersey but never wear them is actually a scientific test in behavioral studies. Scientists are trying to see the rabid affects of not utilizing the black jerseys on fans. They suspect that the lack of black jerseys initiate a trait in the fan brain which makes them go berserk and insane with the notion that jersey colors actual matter.

(Sadly, this experiment might not end nicely with the fear that Perk will turn into a flesh eating zombie and eat the scientists). #Prepping for Halloween
