Baltimore Ravens Tickets

Baltimore Ravens information, The Baltimore Ravens franchise became part of the NFL in 1996. Although originally the Cleveland Browns, the Ravens were forced legally to enter the league as an expansion team. When owner Art Modell announced the decision to move the team to Baltimore, the city of Cleveland fought to keep the team name, colors, and previous history there.ÜCleveland officials said by 1999 they would once again have a team playing there. Art Modell had no choice but to comply and so began the Baltimore Ravens.

During the Raven's young tenure they have made it to the playoffs 3 times and have one Super Bowl appearance and championship.ÜThe playoff appearances include 2000, 2001, and 2003. The Super Bowl victory came in 2000 after defeating the Broncos, Titans, Raiders, and eventually the New York Giants to become kings of the NFL for a year.

The Ravens are known for, and have relied heavily on, their hard-nosed defense. Led by all-pro and potential Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis, the Ravens D' is year in and year out one of the best in the league. The Offense in recent years, however, has struggled. There has not been an all-pro quarterback on the roster since they entered the league; until now. The Ravens picked up Steve Mcnair from the free agency market. Mcnair is a proven winner and has helped the Baltimore offense gain respect. They are off to a great start and with an offense that can move the ball to go along with an already stellar defense; the Ravens may have another playoff appearance to add to their history.
