AWWW MONDAY ~ ABOUT AN AWWW-SOME DAY

One day last week was really awww-some for mine Mommy.  
And me too, kinda sorta.
She took a tour of the M&T Bank Stadium, home of the Baltimore RAVENS.

  Now "pets" weren't allowed, but I snuck

into her backpack and made no meows, so no one knew I was there!

We gots to see lots 'n' lots of things, and there weren't too many peeples

in the group, so it felt very purrsonal.

She said it was great, cause with ticket prices the way they are today,

she'll likely never go to a real game ... so this was the next best thing.

We won't bore you with all the details, or too many pik-shurs, 

as most of you have your own fave home town teams,

but here are just a few ...

Waiting to enter the locker rooms ... the coaches offices, and more.

Famous images of famous players, legends on the walls inside.

The sauna, the exercise and weight room, a family area, even a child care center.

Looking down on the field from one of many sky boxes.

This is one of the largest (most expen$ive, at $300,000. per season 

with a 5-year contract and no extras, all extras cost extra!!!).  Luxury appointments of

course, currently under contract to Under Armour.  

A side note: RAVENS uniforms are by NIKE.  When Under Armour contracted for this box some years ago, 

the CEO hired an artist to carefully "retouch" the many

classic team paintings throughout the room.  These team paintings showed

the NIKE logo on uniforms which was "offensive" to Under Armour and it

needed to be whited-out.  Oh my.

Back down to the locker room [lowest level] ...

As we exited from the locker room, as the players do when charging out onto the

field at the start of the game,

one sees this small sign: a dedication to those who play on the field by those

who built it many years before.  And over these years, this field has seen many 

great players come and go.  It has seen far more wins than losses.

It has brought pride and joy to Baltimore.

Ravens vs Detroit Lions

Now, here's the thing: 

we adore little Roary and Levi over at

CAT CHAT WITH ROARY AND LEVI

All last season we shared a friendly rivalry, 

both our teams did well,

and surely we'll carry that forward this season

right, Caren?

As we meet tonight, can only say,

"may the best team win".

GO RAVENS!
