OT - Trip to Baltimore for Ravens/Patriots
Hey guys,
Looking for some help. Me and a buddy are planning to make a trip down to Baltimore for the December 22nd game against New England. We're coming from Canada so it's quite a ways and we've never been to Baltimore. Looking for travel information. Such as the best place to stay in terms of location for night life and to get to the game easily, but avoid as much traffic as possible. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks lads

Preferably a pub just to have a couple beers and hangout with Ravens fans (my buddies a Pats fan which would make it great if it was all Ravens fans haha)

There are plenty of bars within walking distance to the stadium but they won't be chill on gameday. Federal Hill is a short distance from the stadium and packed with bars, but they get jammed up. You could go to the ones downtown closer to Camden Yards and Pratt Street. Pickle's/Slider's is a lot of fun but again, they'll be crowded on game day. Walk a little further down Pratt and you'll find the Pratt Street Ale House which is pretty cool.
Fells Point and Mt. Vernon are great, but too far to walk to the stadium so you'd need to cab it and public transportation/cabs aren't the greatest or very reliable in Baltimore.

Ontario. Right in the nations capital actually. Are you in Canada as well? Not too many Ravens fans up here
Re: OT - Trip to Baltimore for Ravens/Patriots
Thanks a lot guys! Any advice on hotels? I've been looking at ones right downtown. Was going to arrive Saturday mid-day to avoid gameday traffic and stay till Monday to avoid post-game traffic (It's a Sunday night game)

Sheraton Inner Harbor. Nice hotel easy walking distance to the stadium, as well as FedHill where you'll find Mothers, Ropewalk and etc... for nightlife. Fells is a 5 min drive with it's plethora of nightlife also.

Not sure what your budget is, but this hotel is awesome. http://www.monaco-baltimore.com/ I am a huge fan of Kimpton hotels in general. They know how to treat their guests.
Walkable to the stadium as well as to the Inner Harbor, and it has a great restaurant in it. They often run specials, so if it looks too pricey for you, keep checking back.
