BALTIMORE RAVENS TAKE OVER CHARLOTTE

RAVENS vs Carolina Panthers in Charlotte 11/21/10 (via AllOverItSJ)

Living in Charleston, South Carolina is great... except when football season rolls around. The game is hardly ever on local television. The first time we beat the Steelers this year I couldn't find a single person who cared, it sucked. Usually a group of us flock to the Kickin' Chicken- a local joint we've deemed a "Ravens bar"- and drink some buckets of Bohs thanks to our Bmore raised bartender, Ryan.

When the Ravens came to Charlotte a couple weeks ago, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get to a game. I met up with old friends from home (Jarrettsville, MD in Harford Co) and couldn't believe the amount of Ravens fans in town. After a few four lokos and reuniting with some beloved Utz Crab Chips, we headed inside. The "O" during the National Anthem, and "HEEEEEAAAAAP!!" echoed through Bank of America Stadium. Panthers fans were embarrassed and by the fourth quarter, there may have been a total of 30 in the whole stadium. Reed's two pick sixes and Ray Ray's touchdown were the icing on the awesome cake Baltimore baked for Charlotte. Can't wait to come home for Christmas and hopefully make the Ravens Bengals game on Jan 2.

I made this video for my website All Over It stationed in Charleston.

Pretty cool stuff. All I heard after that game was that it was the most Ravens fans to ever be at a visiting stadium. Did I really see someone with a Zbikowski jersey on though?

Sure did— I even saw a Siragusa one too!

Oh my God!

I never thought I’d meet another Ravens fan in SC.

Carson Palmer Sucks

Im not worried about that game one bit. The Bungles self-destruct more and more as the season goes on. It’s entertaining.

Peace, love, and Ray Ray

It was for the Orioles and became a tradition all over Maryland.

Oh, well unfortunately I have never been to an O’s game, so I wouldn’t know that. I plan to see them if they play at Atlanta this year. I will scream O!!!! Just because of you guys.

you’re not missing much. I definitely recommend seeing a game sometime at Camden Yards though it’s a great stadium, hon.

the Baltimore "O"

The Baltimore Orioles are also called the Os and every time there is a sports event in and around Baltimore, everyone yells" O" when they sing “Oh say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave” The fact that it was so loud in Charlotte proves there were a TON of Ravens fans there.

Singletary is still my least favorite person in San Francisco, but it isn’t by such a huge margin anymore.

congratulations?

i mean i live in charlotte, and work at concord mills best buy and go downtown all the time, and EVERY sunday if there is home game for the panthers this year, there are more of the away team’s fans in the city it seems like than panther fans. Panther fans are fair weather and ignorant when it comes to football in general in the first place so this year with them being the NFL’s worst team, there really is virtually no support seen. There are more fans of other teams than the panthers in this area it seems like every year. but hey congratulations on ‘taking over bank of america and charlotte’ the bengals had already done that weeks before….

don’t be intimidated. The Steelers are still the 2nd most popular team in the NFL. You should try posting on their blog site instead of trolling here. Pathetic….

If less is more, imagine how much more more would be
