Branond's First Raven's Game

We decided that Brandon was finally old enough to go to his first Raven's Game.

We thought Pre-season would be the best thing to try it out.

This way the fans would be nicer, and the stadium wouldn't be as loud.

Aunt Gail has 2 season ticket seats, and then 2 others on another side of the stadium

that she buys from someone else so all 4 of us could go.

We decided Brandon would sit with Kenn and Gail

and I would figure out another seat so I wouldn't be on the other side.

This is the first time i've ever taken a camera to a game
(out of ALL the games i've gone too)

So i decided I would document what its like going to a game for those who haven't gone.

After we park at our awesome parking spot we walk to the stadium.

normally this is where people would tailgate and kenn gets his annual pit beef sandwich.

We didn't think that was a good idea with B.

We get to our seats.

(i am squatting in the front row till people show up)

Below is Kenn an B watching the marching band

I forgot to take a picture of the band. I figured no one cares
Fun fact, only 2 NFL teams have marching bands...

The image below is scary at how they have the EXACT same look on their face.
Then we watch the same guy do the Star Spangled banner since the Ravens started

The other Team comes out to Boo's on one side of the field.
Then the Ravens gets ready to come out of the tunnel

(we are right near that corner)

First the Cheerleaders

(whom also stand in front of our section)

Then Poe and the Flag Guys

The Field with all the people

One half of the team comes out together in a group

(either the defense or the offense, they take turns)

Today it was the Defense.
We love Our Suggs!

Then the other half gets introduced one by one.

They have fire, smoke and then fireworks.

Oher.

Flacco

This is what the field looks like from Gail's seats.
We LOVE them. so spoiled.

The people in front of came, but they had an open seat so they let me stay.

Brandon being goofy as I am taking pictures of him.

(he got UP in my face)

Brandon LOVED the game.

He's learning all the players names.

Joe Flacco is the quarter back (or the thrower)

Ed Reed catches the ball
Ray Rice, Runs with the ball
Billy cundiff kicks the ball

He would also yell during the Defense

Below both are yelling "DEFENSE"

Then B came and sat in my lap for the rest of the game.

The ravens now have 2 real mascots that come to the games.

One below. (he has a little shirt with a ravens logo on it)

Poe came by too

We won the game, and we stayed until like 7 mins left in the 4th.

At that point it was 10:30pm and I thought we could beat a little bit of the traffic.

(under a regular season game i would not have suggested this)

brandon kept asking when he could come back.

We had the BEST time.

he fell asleep in the car with his head resting on his hand.
thank you soooooooooooo much Aunt gail for taking us!
