tsylvester Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Art brought the team to town and they became the Ravens. Couldn't field a practice squad because they had no money, I almost went down to volunteer to be on the free squad, my body said no... Had the chance to meet David at a super bowl party when he brought the trophy to a fan meet up, he was very open and kind,, we chatted for a bit while taking a photo with the Silver Betty. So glad they are here, shame that Art is not in the HOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 And now seeing how buf is paying for a new stadium brought news of Tenn getting a new one. Then I thought about it. The ravens lease is over in 6 yrs. What demands will be made in the next couple yrs?

tsylvester Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Well, at least the league and team are ponying up some serious cash.. My biggest issue here is the fact that they didn't put a roof on the stadium. The crock that there wasn't enough money is just that, crap. Factor that in with the brilliant idiots building rhe stadium the wrong way so as to make growing grass much more difficult... oy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Yeah I was and still am in favor of a dome. Missed a big opportunity there. Now the stadium is only used for about 10-15 dates a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Mind boggling why they didnt put on a retractable roof. I went to Indy for a game and it was a gorgeous day and the roof and sides were open. Beautiful place in Indy. Look who is holding the NCAA championship game..

tsylvester Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 We could have held the Olympics if there was a roof, talk about paying off a debt.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't get the Olympics bc of Iraq. The dc/bmore bid was by far the best submission. Look at the mess they have had in some of these cities.

tsylvester Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 We didn't get it because of the weather, they didn't want to take the chance that we would have a snow storm and cold tempts. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 We could also get a Super Bowl or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't think it's right we don't get one. Ny got one. They could make it work. Every single requirement is there from airports to hotels.
