Hope we have a great Baltimore turnout at the Aug 3 M&T open practice. I am definitely going this year, no ifs, ands or buts.

No Naval Academy practice?

 

I would like to know this too?!?  Its the perfect venue and has always drawn a good crowd.  I have gone to them every year there.

I am surprising my husband with a trip to Baltimore for this. I know nothing of what women do on during one of these. Can someone tell me what I can expect? Or any heads up or advice?

I miss the camps in Westminster. Great time for the family and kids!

Dear ravenfamily1118,

You will enjoy the family atmosphere at the stadium practice, even for those who are not true football fans it will be exciting to see the players put on a show for the fans. The practice is narrated by the Ravens local broadcast team. Pretty good eats at the stadium,too. For those with children, after the practice children[5-16] with wristbands will be allowed to get autographs. Parents have to get their children bands before practice and then line up with their very young children. For some folks it's the only time they ever get to enjoy our beautiful stadium sadly. That's why teams need to lower preseason ticket prices, so parents with more than two children or parents with low incomes can enjoy the same opportunities. Here again, Westminster was the best chance for everyone to see the Ravens practice, up close and personnel. The Ravens are working on ways to allow more visitors to the Under Armour Performance Center, but that's still in the works. So enjoy M&T Bank for now, it is just a fabulous place to see a game. Welcome to our city, enjoy our town.

Thank you MissRay27!!! Are the adults, without children (we are leaving our children home for this one- except the one I am carrying lol) able to get autographs too? This is a once in a lifetime experience for my husband and I want to make the absolute best of this opportunity for him. We are from Illinois and traveling is almost an impossibility for us. Thank you so much for responding, as well!!!!

The Ravens are really making me sad. I never attended training camps when they where at McDaniel because it just wasn't practical for me. When they started the practices At Annapolis I went and loved it. The last year they moved it from Sunday afternoon to Monday nights. I live in Harford county. I go into work early and get off late therefore for me to attend the night practices I would have to take half a day off Monday to get there on time and half a day on Tuesday because I would be late getting back Monday night. I recently had friends move to Annapolis so I was thinking about taking a day and a half off to see the practice and visit my friends. Guess what? The Ravens aren't having practice at Annapolis.

I'll put my name in the Training Camp lottery but my luck usually isn't good at lotteries. Oh well, at least I have memories of years past.

The only place adults can get autographs is at the player entrance to M&T stadium before and after practice.

It seems like July 30th is way way off, I don't know if It's me or I'm just to damn impatient

Dear ravenfamily1118,

First of all great to know there are Ravens fans in the great state of Illinois. Folks are getting excited and ready for some football. Secondly, as someone else posted no adults are allowed autographs inside the stadium. However, if you are fortunate and wait patiently where the players enter the stadium you may get the opportunity to have one of your favorite players sign, especially if you are wearing their jersey or t-shirt. But Good Luck with that. Anyway, I wish you and your husband a safe, blessed and wonderful trip to our town, Baltimore is having it's troubles right now, but enjoy our world famous Crabcakes, wonderful restaurants, bars, the National Aquarium, Science Center in downtown, inner and east harbour areas for shopping and dining . Go Ravens!  And again, thanks for visiting our town, Baltimore!

I sure hope so! Maybe finally our seats will win.

Owings Mills isn't that far away.  Great fun too.  They are working to expand them, and include more fan involvement and activities.
