JaCrispy Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Never been to an away game…still debating whether or not to hit the town the night before, as I am not in possession of a Kevlar vest…😉 3 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Not sure if the Kevlar vest is a reference to crime in Baltimore or Baltimore fans going after a Bills fan. Either way, you're in danger if you go into the wrong parts of Baltimore and fine if you stay in the right ones. It's been a few years since I was there, but the Federal Hill neighborhood is a good neighborhood with lots of bars and restaurants and also happens to be where the Ravens's stadium is located (as well as Camden Yards). I'd definitely recommend hitting the town the night before, but not going too crazy as you need to save some of that for pre-game on Sunday....Have fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 We typically play well against them, home & away. Given our opening stretch schedule, as a Conference foe, it’s a must win game! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Follow my rule about Baltimore, especially at night. If you’re out and about, do not drive down any street that DOES NOT have cars PARKED on it. There is nothing but trouble on those streets as the homes are all abandoned to the wild. Go around. We go into the city a lot. Just be smart about it and watch your environment. Also watch for folks just darting into the street to cross. It happens a lot. Especially in neighborhoods off the Inner Harbor. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 We’ve always had a good time in Fells Point as well…but I haven’t been in a few years so don’t know if anything has changed. Seemed pretty safe to us, and lots of bars/restaurants. This game would have been a no-brained for me, typically, but since I’m going to both LA and Miami in weeks 1 and 3 this trip was not in the cards.

wjag Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I've got tickets to the AFC North games this year. @Bal, Steelers, Browns and @Cincy (MNF). Also throwing in Jets since I will be in Buffalo that week. @Bal will be a tough game. Ravens look healthy so far this year. Should get their LT, Secondary and RBs back. I think their DL is also fully healthy this year. QB1 bulked up over the off season. Questions remain at Center (Tyler Linderbaum) and of course WR. My guess for the AFC North is: Bal Cincy Cle Pit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimore is fine as was part of my Region awhile back. I’m not dumb enough to wear a Bills jersey in some cities the night before, but the day of the game you should be fine. Baltimore is actually a pretty city with some nice architecture. Thanks from the TBD crowd for representing us. Have a ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushypeaches Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 We've got a busload of folks from our Harrisburg Bills Backers club making the 2 hour drive down.

Jealous, lol? Um no. I've been to 2 Bills Superbowls. But I'm not jumping on TBD creating a post to tell everyone.
