Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?

July 3, 10:32 PM
 
 


Why?  That's what I want to know.  Why did the Ravens raise ticket prices so sharply?  According to some reports I've read, the Ravens raised prices by 24% for the upcoming season--more than 3.5 times the NFL average.

For a family of four to go to a game, the tab will exceed $300, once you factor in parking, concessions, and a program or jersey for junior.

In these tough times, with gas about $4 per gallon, who can afford these hikes?  I know, I know, a lot of people happily plunk down the scratch for the right to scream their heads off every Sunday, and if you can afford the cost, then more power to you.

I just think somebody owes us an explanation.  Hey, Mr. Biscotti, what gives?  How can you possibly justify these increases?  Are you that strapped for cash?  Do we not get enough money from television rights?  It's mind boggling.

I know a lot of people--blue-collar Raven maniacs who bleed purple and black--who simply can't afford to go to games anymore.  That's the tragedy.  Baltimore has always been a blue-collar town, with enough room for Oriole and Raven fans.  Camden Yards became the home of the wine, cheese, and Blackberry set a long time ago.  I'd hate to see the same thing happen to the Ravens.

All you fans out there...What do you think?  How are you planning to fit Ravens games into your budget?

There's never a good time to lay an egg like Baltimore did Sunday.  A complete wash, from the lax defense to the turnovers.  Joe Flacco looked like the rookie that he is.  And let's talk about Flacco for a moment.  I can't hold Flacco... Read More

Ravens and Colts game will be a close one

October 10, 1:33 PM
The Ravens renew their rivalry with the Colts this weekend.  Let's face it, the Colts and Ravens have played some memorable games lately, including the 15-6 playoff loss Baltimore suffered a few years back.  The rivalry is fueled by history,... Read More

Todd Heap: Missing in action?

October 8, 1:13 PM
It's almost to the point where I'm looking for Todd Heap on the side of a milk carton.  Have you seen his stats this season? Seven catches catches for 78 yards?  He's had that kind of production in a half, never mind four games. ... Read More

Flabbergasted

This one stings.  A late TD toss by Kerry Collins keeps the Titans unbeaten and the Ravens thinking about what could -- no, what SHOULD -- have been.For most of the game Kerry Collins played more like Joan Collins, boasting a quarterback rating... Read More

Ravens will improve to 3-1

October 3, 3:01 PM
I got a comment the other day from a reader who is worried that Baltimore's loss to the Steelers is the beginning of a downward spiral.  Sorry, but I don't see it.  Though they lost, the Ravens played hard (despite the mental mistakes) and... Read More

Moving past tough loss

October 1, 11:16 PM
The game Monday night was hard to swallow.  It would have been different if the Steelers had just beaten us, but I know that we, in reality, gave the game away.  Jarret Johnson's foolish penalty didn't help; it gave the Steelers momentum, which... Read More

Best 10 moments in Ravens history

September 30, 2:57 PM
In compiling this list of the best 10 moments in Ravens history, I'm struck by how many plays and moments have to be passed over.  In their relatively short existence, the Ravens have stockpiled enough memories to fill 50 "Best Of"... Read More

Prediction: Ravens drop a close one

September 28, 9:43 PM
Time to put my 2-0 record on the line.  Baltimore's Monday night game against the Steelers features the two best defenses in the NFL.  Throw in the fact that Baltimore has a rookie quarterback and a road game and it all adds up, I think, to... Read More
