The game can only be a disappointment if we don’t win by a solid amount so it’s kinda hard for me to get hyped for that game.. I’d say similar for week 2 to be honest

Won’t be at the season opener but will be at the home opener to watch our boys hand Sizzle that bittersweet L and welcome Kyler Murray to the league.

I would love to see a Ravens game at home.....

That is on my bucket list.

Lol I've seen every Ravens game at home, NFL game pass is cool but I'm pretty sure it's better at the stadium.

It’s a lot of fun, but it’s not a great football experience tbh. One beer costs your life savings, my wife MADE me wait in the food line one time with her and I missed about ten minutes of GAME time so like we waited a goddamn half hour in line, using the bathroom is a miserable experience.

Honestly tailgating is the best part, it’s an absolute blast with all the pregame festivities and grilling and cornhole and music and beers and all. But once you get in it’s just not as good as watching on tv.

Also every time I see a game live I’m always surprised by how small the field is, it looks so much bigger and more epic on tv

Football live is a better experience the further from the field, to me. Too close and you can't see enough.

You gotta sit close in the end zone one time, there’s nothing like it. At M and T you’re so close you can hear the pads and helmets and you get a real sense of just how big and quick the players are. It does kinda suck when they are at the other end, but you just watch the big screen.

Camp sounds like it got weird today with the ejections and harbs getting heated

Nothing too big, just the disappointment of the defense falling for the 4th down plays that were designed to get the defense to draw offsides. Defense did it multiple times and Harbaugh wasn't happy.

The Ravens were working on fourth-down situations, where the offense was charged with trying to get the defense to jump offsides. It worked several times, and after cornerback Cyrus Jones made the same mistake, it drew the ire of head coach John Harbaugh.

"We don't need dumb," Harbaugh told Jones after sending him to the sideline, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Jones then said something back, which led Harbaugh to send him off to the locker room.

Fellow defensive back Marlon Humphrey then said something which Harbaugh missed.

"Got something to say, come over and talk to me," Harbaugh responded, per Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Sun. Humphrey then followed Jones to the locker room.

"That's Harbs, man," linebacker Pernell McPhee said. "If he doesn't get on us, we're going to lose the game. I love it. Everywhere you go, coaches are going to be like that. You need a coach like that to keep us humble and keep us in our place."

Essentially my very first thought when I went to my first Ravens game against the Bengals (also Lamar's debut I might add). Observing the field live compared to the TV is a night and day difference.

Ok so I’m not the only one who feels this way. It’s almost kinda disappointing isn’t it?

When I went to my first Ravens game, I remember asking my Dad where the yellow line on the field was. He then explained to me how it's a graphic for when your watching it on TV, so yeah NFL Gameday and Madden lied to me.

I prefer the live experience, myself.

It is interesting how some things change when you’re there. INT’s for example, are different. You really see how bad of a mistake some of those are, when you see the entire field and where the defenders are.

I've tried to avoid end zone but did it for a non ravens game. Usually try the 40 or 50 2nd or 1st row. Funny thing is best view was at Meadowlands in the nose bleeds. Aside from the fact I want to see new stadiums, nothing else really makes me want to actually go to a game. Would much rather watch from my living room. Will have to try and go to a home game on the endzone though. Hate that spot for how hard it is to tell what's going on most of the game.

So kinda under the radar but board and young don’t really seem to be in a battle for that spot next to peanut anymore - board has taken almost all of the reps with the 1s and doesn’t look like that’s going to change anytime soon

I wonder if we want to use Kenny the same way we did last year in a rotation at the WLB spot

But yeah this either says a lot about board in year 2 or it says a lot about Kenny in year 2

Can't remember if it was Hensley or Zriebec on Twitter, but they said it was more about Board becoming consistent than Young regressing.

Section 139, 140, 141 somewhere in the first 10 rows......you’ll feel like you are on the field with the players when they are at that end zone. The new screens are really nice and have to be used when they are farther away.
But I mean you’re right, better seats to actually see the entire game are up higher, and for me slightly diagonal to give better perspective on distances. All that said, I rarely go any more and like you prefer home.
