A Mad Rush For Baltimore Ravens Football Tickets

Many in Baltimore would agree that Arthus B Modell did the city a great favor by moving what was then a differently named team in Cleveland and bringing it to Baltimore. The name The Baltimore Ravens was not merely a whim of its owner but a tacit acknowledgement that the team was making a clean break from its old roots and beginning life afresh. The fact that the famous poet Edgar Allen Poe is buried in Baltimore and that the poet wrote a famous poem  Ravens is of course a great reason too. The new name was selected by a popular vote and since the locals had a big say in the name, was it any surprise that they rooted for the team too?

Art Modell moved the team from Cleveland due to several reasons. The stadium there was too small and even more importantly, he was losing money on a daily basis. Moving a team away from its home base was no mean task and resulted in a lot of legal work. Finally, the settlement ensured that the history and the scores of the erstwhile Cleveland Browns would be left behind and the Ravens would begin life afresh in Baltimore.

In that sense, the Ravens history is not many years old. But to old followers of the game, the Ravens date back considerably from 1996  the year they began to play in Baltimore. The Cleveland Browns were resurrected in 1999 as the original team. But we know better now.

In the year 2003, the original owner, Art Modell, sold the rights to the Baltimore Ravens to another entrepreneur in Baltimore, Steve Bisciotti, in two separate transactions. Art retains an office in the Stadium and continues to be a consultant to the team. The team, meanwhile, lost some ground in the next season and some key members of the coaching team had to be replaced. However, the slump was soon rectified and the team got back to its winning ways.

The Baltimore Ravens have faced other legal issues besides the ones described earlier. Its original logo was disputed by Fred Bouchat who claimed a copyright. The claim was upheld by a jury and the Ravens had to change their logo. Losing the logo does not seem to have hurt the team commercially or professionally. No damages were awarded for the copy right infringement and the level of game was also unaffected. The team just continued its winning streak regardless of the logo they played under.
