"We love seeing how well the Ravens Flock travels to opposing stadiums, so we're excited to offer Ravens Takeovers as a new opportunity for our fans to rally together and support the Ravens on the road," Brad Downs, Ravens senior vice president of marketing stated. "TrueFan Travel brings unmatched expertise in sports travel, and together with Jimmy's Famous Seafood, we'll work to create unforgettable moments and memories for Ravens fans.
