Ravens to Move Training Camp to Owings Mills

In the words of Allen Iverson, "practice, we talking about practice." Baltimore Ravens fans are upset because the team has decided to change where they hold their training camp. For years, the team has held training camp in Westminster at McDaniel College. Due to the NFL lockout, they had to move it to their normal practice facility in Owings Mills. Due to the permits from Baltimore County, as of now fans are unable to attend. Many fans feel that they are losing a type of connection with the team. But what is more important here, watching the fans practice and getting an autograph, or when the season begins, cheering them on as they pummel the Pittsburgh Steelers at home 35-7? With the big picture being the Super Bowl, being well prepared is everything.

Former Ravens defensive tackle, Michael McCrary recently indicated the importance of facility in Owings Mills. He stressed the fact that there is a lot more equipment even pointing out the fact that there is no need for players to wait in line for a cold tub. McCrary also made fans aware of the limited amound of practices due to the new collective bargaining unit. So if there is less time for error. You have only a few times to get it right. As a fan, it is more important for the Ravens to practice in the best facility and recieve all the best treatment. Remember they still have their own radio shows, and they still are very active in the community. If this helps build a Super Bowl, well then practice in Owings  Mills, keep the fans out, and lets see winners in January and February.
