The Ravens are providing a unique opportunity for those unable to make the trek to Westminster on Saturday when they hold a full-squad practice at M&T Bank Stadium at noon. Admission is free with parking available for only $5.
With the interruption in the daily training camp routine, WNST.net is opening up the Purple Haze chat room for those who cannot make it down to the stadium for Saturday’s practice. In lieu of our daily “Live from Westminster” blog, I’ll be bringing live updates from the press box at the Purple Palace as well as taking your thoughts and questions about the upcoming 2010 season.
If you were a part of our Purple Haze chats last season or have stopped in the Orange Crush during Orioles games this season, you know our live chat is the newest—and best—way to watch the action aside from actually being in the stadium.
We’ll be opening the Purple Haze cyber bar throughout the football season, so we figured Saturday afternoon would be a great tuneup for the preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night.
Just follow the link and join us for the tailgate as the Ravens bring training camp to M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday!
