Baltimore Ravens supporters gear up at stadium pop-up shop before of the playoff game.
Baltimore — Baltimore Ravens supporters are going to M&T Bank Stadium to prepare for this weekend’s AFC playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The team set up a pop-up shop at the stadium where fans could buy last-minute playoff t-shirts, jerseys, and other merchandise.
“So far, I’ve picked up this Ravens Flock shirt and I’m about to go over there and check out some of the hats and some of the necklaces they have over there,” a Ravens fan told me on Thursday.
The Ravens pop-up shop will be open until 7 p.m. on Thursday before reopening on Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. behind Gate A at the stadium.
The Ravens (12-5), who won the AFC North, will meet the Steelers on Saturday at 8 p.m. at M&T Bank Stadium.
“I’m so excited,” ravens fan Alyce Wallace remarked. “The offense has been doing admirably, and the defense has improved significantly. “I am so proud of them.”
The Ravens last won the Super Bowl in 2013, and the previous year was 2001. So Ravens fans hope that after another 12 years, the trend will continue in 2025.
“Every 12 years, we win the Super Bowl,” Ravens supporter Randy Gresham stated. “It’s 12 years and we’re going to New Orleans where we won last time.”
Bryan Corvera, the Ravens’ communications manager, said the playoffs bring the Baltimore community together.
“It’s much more than game days,” Corvera explained. “Obviously, we want people there on game days to cheer us on and be loud, however, you can wear the purple and black outside of gamedays and just be involved every day, That’s huge for us.”
Ravens fans attending Saturday’s game should stock up on jackets, sweatshirts, and hats since the weather is forecast to be bitterly cold.
“The energy is so intense, you forget how cold it is,” Ravens fan Holly Jones explained. “You feel the warmth of the fans.”
