I liked Lamar out of college. Thought he was a much better passer than people credited him for. Ravens have given him so many weapons the past two drafts as well in free agency. No excuses for him.

Albany,n.y. Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) I've been to 3 games in their stadium. The 1st time I was in the upper deck, the last 2 times I got seats in the lowest level because getting to the upper deck in that stadium is the worst hike I've ever had in any stadium. I remember seeing an older overweight woman on the stairs to the upper deck and I thought she was going to die trying to get up the stairs. It's no surprise that they're having trouble unloading those upper deck seats. Edited July 29, 2019 by Albany,n.y.
TheFunPolice Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Alarm bells are ringing in league offices according to Florio, who adds: is it time for players to request greener pastures, perhaps north of the border, where the NBA team just won a championship? Hey he just is a guy asking questions! Lol 1

It's no surprise that they're having trouble unloading those upper deck seats. Hauntingly familiar to my experience in NRG stadium in Houston. Butt ugly ‘palace’ to boot. Huffing & puffing up to the upper deck I said “ I love Rich/Ralph/NewEra! Half the stadium is below ground level, half above. Perfect”. As to why Ravens can’t sell tickets, I’m Shocked, I tell ya! SB winning QB (Flacco) HOF LB (Suggs)? What’s not to love? ??? 1
Mc1320 Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 At the final game against Cincy in 2017 where the Ravens choked away the playoff berth to the Bills, M&T was half empty because it was New Years Eve. That would never happen in Buffalo with a playoff berth on the line. 1
stuvian Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 who's the opponent? Yes, I'm too apathetic to google it
MAJBobby Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Maybe they shouldn’t have went with a RB playing QB.

The only rodents and rat I ran into were drunken Ravens fans at halftime yelling at Bills fans to leave. Apologies ... I just now understand the post.

Private sector job growth in the Baltimore metro area has been much faster than Buffalo. Since 2016, its up 1.4% annually vs. 0.6% in Buffalo. So far this year, the gap is 1.3% vs. 0.7%. Even in the "rat infested" City of Baltimore, employment growth has topped the comparable rate in the City of Buffalo (1.1% vs. 0.9) so far this year...

bigK14094 Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Last time I was there a decade ago, it was M&T stadium I think. Still that name? We stayed at a motel outside Balt, took a train in and got off right at the stadium. Not like Buffalo stadium experience though, not tailgating. But, more like a PGA golf even.....lots of corporate tents etc. Being use to the Ralph/New Era atmosphere, I wasn't expecting PGA/NFL hybrid experience. Anyhow, the Bills lost, and we sat near some of the Bills players families in the upper deck. Seats were not as good as NEW ERA uppers imho.

Odd play for them to highlight. He underthrew an open receiver by 4 yards. That's an easy pick if the safety is there. 1

That's what makes the partially sunken New Era such an architectural masterpiece. The hike to the upper decks is negligible. The hike from any seats to concessions is minimal. 1

Griffin injured his hand at training camp on Saturday after he made a pass and accidentally slammed his throwing hand into linebacker Tim Williams’ helmet. Almost instantly, Griffin could be seen jumping around and shaking his hand, clearly in pain. Ravens Related
