Super Bowl Send Off?

**Tottenham Raven** · 01-21-2013, 03:51 PM

I recall there being a Super Bowl send off for the Ravens before SB XXXV downtown at the Inner Harbor. Anyone know if they will have a similar event? How far in advance does the team head out to the city where the Super Bowl will be held. Thanks in advance, I simply cannot stop smiling. Giddy may be the right word.

I'll be at the airport for the arrival......its just a little airport so this will be a huge deal.

I am looking forward to a send off rally also. I can't afford to go to the game.

I heard they are having a Pep Rally at the Polar Bear plunge on Saturday but im not sure if its the official one or if players will be there

Thanks for asking. I was wondering this myself. Checked the Ravens site earlier for any info, and didn't find anything yet

I have actually been to the Inner Harbor. I got to work in Baltimore for a few weeks in the late 80's and a local guy took me over there to go bar hopping. We had a great time and I will always remember how beautiful that place was.

Well come for the send off, new honorary fan! (I haven't been back to Cincinasty..as I've sworn off my in-laws for the foreseeable future..but when/if I do..we're having lunch!)

Ha! In-laws can be a pain. I wish I could be there, but I have to work. The city must be abuzz. I hope I get to experience that one more time.

The send off in 2001 was great.. They pulled the buses right in between Pratt and Light St Pavilion and did a nice pep rally.

But the Ravens have evolved since then.. and I'm guessing there is no way they can deal with the type of crowd that would show up for that event in such a tight space.

In 2001, we were still scratching our heads a little and thinking, "wow, who are these guys?"

They could do it at city hall after all thats where the victory parade will end up

I still remember the telecast of this and one of the team buses side swiped a police car as they were heading out 395. Nothing could stop that team.

According to this article, they will head out on Monday. Perhaps they will do something that morning before heading to the airport?

The difference between in-laws and outlaws is outlaws are wanted.

Yeah Probably. I was thinking of taking the kids out of school for it..but I figure I'll just wait until the parade for all of that.

On a nice note, my boss today decided to close Monday (after the Super bowl) knowing we will all have had no sleep/hangovers. Was such a nice surprise phone call. He's a NY'er/not a Ravens fan

Hope so. I'll be there with 200 some plungers from the other Ravens Roosts so bring it on!

In 2001 they had a Pep Rally at the Inner Harbor between the Light and Pratt St pavilions. I was there, Shannon Sharpe said "Round 8:30 on Jan 28th get ready to party ya'll cuz we're bringing you the Super Bowl Trophy!"

It was cool as a cuke.

**codepurple** · 01-24-2013, 06:02 PM

Thanks for this. Don't have the funds to make it down to New Orleans. So I will definitely be there. Who else is going?

With the usual level of competence we've come to expect from the City of Baltimore, someone spent a fair amount of time to produce that little flyer (& probably charged the taxpayers for twice as long as it took) and then LEFT OUT THE LOCATION. (Yeah, Inner Horror Amphitheater, I got that from post #13 above, but jeezy peezy, you would've thought someone would've noticed there was no "place" in the piece!)

ETA: AccuWeather Monday forecast is cloudy, temps in the 30s, winds 6 mph gusting to 11. Could be worse. I'm game. Anyone else going? Maybe we can organize a quick meetup?
