Making the 2 1/2 hour trip down for the parade tomorrow morning. Can't wait to see the super bowl champs.

How about them Ravens.

I will be there. My employer is actually being far cooler about things than I originally thought they would be. As you might expect, well over half of our development staff want to take Tues off as a "personal" day, so my department head just gave everyone the day off. There is an article in the Baltimore sun that has details about the parade for those that need it:

I will take a video and post it to youtube for those of you who can't make it, but don't expect perfection since I will be shooting it with an Iphone and editing it on my Mac.

Not sure if I should post near City Hall or the stadium?? I live in Fells point so not an issue but I want to be where they speak vs just waving to them as they pass by.

At first I was thinking stadium. But the more I think about it. If you start near city hall , watch everybody pass first then make your way to the stadium for the celebration. That way you get to the stadium while a lot of people are still watching the floats.

I expect the Stadium will be packed for the celebration.

Dang I knew I forgot to do something today. I wouldn't be surprised if we can't find some tomorrow Worst case scenario, I'm sure some street vendors are re-selling them at a premium.

If anyone else can't get to the parade like me, it'll be on ComcastSportsNet on TV and online here: http://www.csnbaltimore.com/article/ravens-championship-parade

Really wanted to be there, but work keeps me stuck.

Anyone know if they're gonna do a Fan Appreciation Day like they did in 2001? I really enjoyed getting down to the field and touching the Lombardi then.

I am standing against the gate on Pratt street as I type. Starting to fill up quickly.

Somebody should probably tell the Patriots fans that this is what a real Retirement Party looks like.

Yeah this is going to be awesome. It's a bit nippy. But spirits are high, horns are blaring, people chanting.

Gonna be like 10 feet from the players when they come by.

Have they showed any pictures of the stadium yet? Is it packed? Gonna try heading over there after the parade, figure it's going to be tricky getting in.

It's super packed! I feel guilty for not going but Raven Nation is not letting down!!
[/quote]

It's a ton more people than on any game day. Hope they start soon. I am fearing for my toes, they might freeze off. Been standing in one spot for 2 hours.

Gonna be standing room only in the stadium. Hopefully they don't shut out some of the crowd.

If you couldn't find one (which was my problem) if you're willing to drop $10 plus shipping you can order a reprint from the Baltimore Sun: https://baltimoresunstore.com/store/back-issues

However, they only make the last 30 days available so buy sooner rather than later!

Can someone post a picture from the parade on here? Some of us have to work.

Would love to but Sprint is moving like molasses downtown. Too bogged down and slow to upload pictures.

FYI, there are plenty of street vendors selling yesterday's Sun for a buck.
