Ravens stadium and the movie

Here I am on the field at the stadium. It was pretty neat being down there, but really hot. This was at the end of our tour and we were really hot and sweaty by that point. We couldn't go past the yellow line. Not sure what would happen if we did, but the tour guide was very serious about that rule!!! This is the raven that at each game, the players go down and rub its head for good luck. We all had to do it according to the guide because if we didn't, it would bring the team bad luck. Okay.
My coworker took this picture and it made me laugh. It is the urinals inside the Raven's locker room. He took the picture because, "Ray Lewis pee-ed in there!" Not impressive to me, but comical.
This is the Raven's locker room and the first full visible "locker" on the left is Ray Lewis' locker. As soon as the guide announced this, about 50 kids ran to get inside. The locker room is carpeted, which surprised me.
THere are more pictures but nothing terribly exciting: a $100,000 a year suite, the ramp that they run out of onto the field, and various other places. For me, it was certainly interesting to see the stadium, but mortified at all of the money spent to build, run and upkeep this place. My school cannot get air conditioning but by GOD!, the press room gets new carpet and paint each year! Ok, I am done.
On another note, we took J to the Drive-In tonight to see Wall-E. IT was fun, but hot. He enjoyed it but it was a late night so we came home after the first flick. (They show 3 movies a night!)
