Ravens fans in Raljon

[Frank Costanza 831]

How many Ravens fans would you say made the trip to the dump down in Raljon yesterday? I'm a bad judge of numbers but it was very loud every time the Ravens made a big play

I was there in 2004 and the estimate in The Sun the next day was 15K. I would imagine it would be at least that amount.

I'd like to see an estimate from yesterday. I mean the place erupted when the Skins won but every positive Ravens play yielded a thunderous roar from the crowd

I was there, and there was a lot of purple. There were also a lot of empty seats at the top of the stadium.

I would peg it at somewhere around 20% of the crowd was pro-Ravens.

It was a very friendly and good natured crowd inside and during the tailgate. There was a lot of camaraderie. A lot of tents outside had a solid mix of fans for each team enjoying the vibe. There was only one mouthy and obnoxious trash-talker - and it was a Ravens fan -- and he was doing it POST GAME ??!!!??

Skins fans by and large are live and let live. Most in the DC area love their teams but are realistic-- its entertainment man and the suns gonna rise tomorrow regardless. I have always found O's crowds to be the same-- into it but not hideously obsessed like a Philly fan. Ravens fans... some are just too too much, like they wanna be Philly fans or Raiders fans. Overcompensating.

I was up in Section 453 and had several Ravens fans sitting behind me, a couple of Ravens fans sitting one side and a couple of Redskins fans on the other side of me. After the game there were drunken Skins fans yelling stuff at me as I left the stadium for the Metro.

I made the trip from Richmond, VA, 1st NFL game after 35 years of watching games. I hope to make it to a Ravens home game in the near future.

I'd say there was a Ravens fan or two in every row in section 117.

Most of the fans were friendly or just left me alone. I didn't notice any "in your face" talk, other than friends/family who attended the game together but supported different teams.

There were two women in burgundy in front of me, they asked my father & I who we supported. He said, very honestly & diplomatically "we're Ravens fans, but we're also excited to see RGIII." Then they tried to say we were cowards because we weren't wearing enough purple, and that we could cheer for the Skins at the end of the game. I just said "no thank you" and they left us alone after that.

I didn't get any reaction when I cheered or clapped for the Ravens, but there was guy in a Ryan Kerrigan jersey a few rows down who was so drunk he was getting in peoples' faces, scaring & threatening fans of both teams, he had to be talked down a few times. Other than him, I can't say anything bad about the fans in general.

So what you're saying is that Redskin fans aren't really into their team as evidenced by the 5,000 empty seats in Raljon and the 20,000 or so seats filled with Ravens fans
