    Re: 10 things every Ravens fan should do at least once in there lifetime.

    I think I am in the minority on the whole authentic jersey thing.

    I am VERY selective about which authentics I buy. I have the black Ray Lewis, a purple Ed Reed and my new favorite is the Unitas authentic -- B'more fans LOVE it, Colts fans HATE it!

    Guess I am a jersey snob in that respect. But I do agree it really isnt a top 10 type of thing to do if you're a fan. They are very expensive.

    10. Go to training camp
    9. Attend the draft or host a day one draft party - Check
    8. Tailgate- get there early and stay late after the game. - Check
    7. Get a tour of the Complex @ 1 Winning Drive.
    6. Go to an away game wearing colors. - Check
    5. Go to one of the players public appearances and meet them. - Check
    4. Watch an away game at your favorite bar packed with purple clad folks. - Check
    3. Buy a authentic game jersey of your favorite player. - Check
    2. Attend a home playoff game and see a win.
    1. Go to a Ravens Super Bowl game

    60% is not too bad. I didn't have tickets for the previouos playoff games so 2006 was my first time - they lost, damn. I watched the Super Bowl but from my house. I've toured the stadium and drive past 1 Winning Dr once a week but have not gotten a tour of the training facility. And I can't do the Training Camp as it falls during a month that I'm not able to take off of work due to yearly projects, another damn.
    Pffffff! I trust wikipedia more than the NFL. If anyone would know football, it is clearly wikipedia.

    Pardon my ignorance, but have the Ravens ever won a home playoff game?

    How about "Attend the Hall of Fame induction ceremony for a Baltimore Raven"?

    Training camp-i guess i was never interested in practice. i went to a few scrimmages at m&T and was bored to death, just doesnt mean the same when it doesnt count to me.

    Visit one winning way---good luck....only a few get that chance.

    I've got 7 of 10, including that Super Bowl win!

    Visiting the Palace, training camp, and the authentic are what I'm missing. Like Mista T, I don't think the authentic is all that important.

    how did you get a tour of 1 Winning Drive? I'll be ticking off training camp this year, but I REALLY want to get a tour of the complex!

    They hold a corporate event every year that can include a complex tour. That includes the Hunt and Lombardi trophies, a number of photos turned into paintings of memorable Ravens plays, the weight room, Modell's office with the stadium coffee table, etc. We could not go inside the draft room, but I got a picture taken with me by the sign.

    I got my tour when Ehrlich was running for Governor back in 2001. It was just after 9-11. Myself and some fellow envelope-stuffers had a dinner there and got to see the facilities.

    I wouldnt try the same tactic again. I hear the O'Malley folks and Bisciotti dont get along so well! ;)

    I made the list and still haven't gotten my tour. But it should happen soon, it has just been a matter of scheduling lately.
