Ravens Fans Gear Up For Travel To Foxborough

BALTIMORE (WJZ) ---Purple pride is alive and well in Baltimore. Ravens fans are getting ready for a big match up against the New England Patriots. Some lucky fans are heading North to support the team.

Marcus Washington spoke to some of those lucky fans.

Lucky indeed and there still is time for more to join them. You know for many of the diehard fans, the only way to watch the Ravens play is in a stadium cheering them on.

It's hard to go anyplace around Baltimore right now.

"The excitement is in the air," Ravens fan, Debbie Kammerer said.

Ravens fans are showing support everywhere.

"I'm wearing purple everyday until the Super Bowl and probably the week after because it will be all celebrations," Kammerer said.

Kammerer and many fans who attended Saturday's game in Pittsburgh are still high with excitement after seeing the Ravens advance in the playoffs.

"And we were all chanting, oh oh oh oh oh oh, we were just so thrilled and happy," Kammerer said. "It was just great."

Deb has been a Ravens fan for many years and would attend many of the home games, but she says it wasn't until three years ago, when she met the owner of BMORE Around Town, that she started traveling to away games.

"So I went with three other girls, then three other girls joined us and it was such a blast that we do just about every away trip on the bus," Kammerer said.

BMORE Around Town has had an amazing turn out with fans. They plan on adding a fourth bus.

"We're actually working on our fourth bus now... getting ready to line all those details up and we want to take as many Ravens fans up north to Foxborough as possible," Brian Snyder with Bmore Around Town said. "Turn that into M&T Bank North.:

Next stop, Gillette Stadium.

For years, Bmore Around Town has helped organize trips to see the Ravens play on the road. Even to New Orleans in 2012 when the Ravens clinched the Super Bowl.

"They pay one price and then they show up and we take care of everything for them," Snyder said. "That's what we strive to do... just make sure everyone is taken care of."

Making many fans like Debbie, happy and ready to ride out to Foxborough.

"I can't wait because I can't wait to be screaming when we win," Kammerer said.

Tickets for the game are still available. The cheaper tickets are $175 to $200. The more expensive tickets are $1,000 and up.
