It hasn't reached Ohio yet but I'm working on it.

[PackinRavensHeat]

We know that area (down rt.81 the skyline drive) very well, our family comes from those parts (Mt. Jackson) and if I was in a jam I go to them before I turned to the city folk for help. RYAN you seem like you are the REAL-DEAL.

[boldtown]

need a raven roost in indy.

[slowboater]

Hmmmmm. We gather every Sunday when we're here in St. Petersburg, Fl. Lots of "Marylanders" down here. Yes, I root for the local teams, but how, after decades, can I give up rooting for Baltimore?

Having worn Brooks Robinson PJ's in the summer and Colts PJ's in the winter, I can't give up my true allegiance. But although the wet cold sucks in Maryland, nothing is more "warming" than getting laryngitis on a Sunday afternoon at the Bank!

[CharmCityHeavyHitters]

Working on converting some fans in Cali!!!

[Mystigo_Dragon]

I know we have established a presence in Gilbert, Arizona!

My buddy and his wife are their as transplants because of employment! They are tried and true Ravens fans and they send home for paraphernalia!

When they come back, their second stop (after first stopping at Faidley's of Lexington Market) is 'Poor Boys' on Harford Road!

[Ryan Mink]

I am very familiar with West Wing LA. Eager to hear about more Ravens strongholds!

[WLARavensFan]

I'm a Baltimore transplant living in LA. We have quite a few friends who have converted to Ravens fans. The nice thing about LA is there aren't a lot of strong football allegiances aside from the transplants so there are plenty of people to convert. Duffy (old BR writer) is out here and he runs a large group of Ravens fans who get together at a Ravens bar in Hollywood for games. I've seen more and more Ravens fans out here as the years have gone on.

Ravens nation, baby! Taking over cities, one at a time. =)

[TorryGundy]

Im converting as many fans in Portland as I can!

[Purple Dawg 96]

Im sorry Bmore but, I felt that everone that didnt like the squeelers would jump on the Ravens bandwagon! Be gentle with the negativity but, I can take it, Im a Raven!

[towens2921]

Don't forget the eastern shore and Delaware.

[hugostiglitz]

im in ohio and its mostly steelers fans around where I live, when the steelers are winning anyway

[dwhravens]

Baltimore transplant to AZ here. Ravens Nation here in Chandler, AZ. Down the street from SUGGS' HS, Hamilton.

[Guest D3x3001]

I'm all for the Virginia people to become fans of the greatest and classiest NFL team there is.

[H8R]

The Eastern Shore is loaded with Ravens fans

[Mobtown]

I played a round of golf in Mississippi a few weeks ago and received several "Go Ravens" calls from other carts.

[Adam92102]

Got a couple Ravens bars out here in SoCal: Dirty Birds in San Diego and West Wing up in Orange County. Standing room only for every game. We got your back and am holding up Ravens Nation out here on the West Coast!

[Ravensfan23]

I hope that with the expansion of fans that Rave TV will start to get bigger and bigger. Bringing more Ravens programs to surrounding areas will help.

 

I think it's great that the Ravens are establishing that following in Annapolis with the free TC practices. I wonder if they plan on addition more locations.

[ShaneM]

Tons of Ravens fans on the eastern shore and Delaware!

[Legendary Ravens]

L.A. West Coast RAVEN right here but I feel better saying, "The name that's Internationally Known from the Earth to the Universe, The World Champion Baltimore Ravens"

[mettro79]

Raven nation has expanded worldwide, and that was before this most recent SB win. As I travel around to different countries and people see my Ravens beenie (a "must wear" if the temperature is below 50 degress), it surprises me how many people give me compliments and are undercover fans.

[pegatronravenz4ever]

this is from a ravens fan in Canada!!!!!! go ravenz go Canada!!!!!!!

The LA West Wing Group is strong and kicking, I was at The Palor with them for the Denver game and its was so much fun!!

[bmoresinceday1]

I have lived in Virginia my whole life and used to watch a lot of football with my dad(redskin fan) when I was real young, I loved the sport but I had never been a fan of any certain team at this point, I was like 12 at the time n I remember seeing ray lewis come out of the tunnel and do his squirrel dance and i was like man that dude killed it i like him. then we smashed the giants, and i was like man i like this team. and then i remember the very next year watching the playoff game verse the steelers and i was watching it and i wanted the ravens to win. so after we lost i was very upset. and from that point on i became a die hard raven fan and have always hated the steelers with a passion

[RavensNo1Fan1]

I am very happy to see more and more raven fans in AZ recently. Hopefully it sticks as I would love more company. However, I will still go cheer for the Ravens at the local bar by myself as it is a mostly Steeler bar and its just to much fun to rub it in their faces when we win.

[angelraven]

I'm a Raven's fan in Colorado. We have a strong meetup group in Denver. You can only imagine what the playoff game was like here, looking for more of the same in September!

If there is a Ravens bar let me know if not we should all get together and start one! I am in Tempe

[Corvus]

I live in Bristol, Tennessee. Its a little over 2 hours south of Roanoke, about an hour and a half northwest of Ashville and I can tell you there are very few Ravens fans in the immediate area. I work in retail and can only think of roughly half a dozen people Ive seen in my place of work wearing Ravens paraphenalia. As far as NFL teams, there are just as many bandwagon Steeler fans here as there Tennessee Titans fans. But I myself always do my best to rep Ravens nation with honor, every acquaintance knows where my loyalties lie and I defend this great franchise with facts and objectivity the multitude of bandwagoners cannot fight back against, haha.

[crabby]

I live in a small town outside of Asheville now and there are more Ravens and Orioles flags hanging from front porches than any other team. GO RAVENS!

I also just got back from the beach in SC and I cant tell you how many people stopped me to say Go O's because of my hat.

Fans are everywhere in the Carolina's.
