The AFC championship game is back in Baltimore for the first time since 1971, and the Ravens are bringing out some of the biggest names in the city’s sports history.

Here’s a rundown of all the festivities at M&T Bank Stadium for Sunday’s 3 p.m. matchup between the Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs:

Gate giveaway

Upon stadium entry, all fans will receive a Ravens/AFC championship commemorative rally towel.

Pregame Q&A and concert

At 1:15 p.m., former Ravens wide receiver and Super Bowl champion Anquan Boldin will participate in a fan Q&A on the RavensWalk Bud Light Stage. Ravens Ring of Honor member and Super Bowl champion Terrell Suggs will also take part in a fan Q&A at 1:45 p.m.

Additionally, the 2000s cover band So Fetch will perform for fans beginning at 11 a.m. on the Bud Light Stage.

Player introductions

Baltimore native Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time with 28 medals, will deliver the official game ball before player introductions. Also, the U.S. Navy Parachute Team “Leap Frogs” will descend into the stadium and onto the field.

Fans are encouraged to arrive at their seats no later than 2:30 p.m. to enjoy all pregame festivities, which include the Ravens’ starting offense being introduced out of the tunnel.

National anthem and flyover

The Morgan State University Choir will sing the national anthem. There will also be a flyover by a United States Air Force B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber.

Legends of the Game

Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are Sunday’s “Legends of the Game.” The Pro Football Hall of Famers and Super Bowl champions will be introduced onto the field just before kickoff.

The Ravens will also recognize former players Boldin, Todd Heap, Dennis Pitta, Matt Stover and Suggs throughout the game.

Jonathan Ogden, an 11-time Pro Bowl selection and the Ravens’ first draft pick (fourth overall in 1996), will serve as the Ravens’ honorary captain.
