The Baltimore Ravens will serve as the official host of the 2010 National Sports Forum to be held in Baltimore on February 1-3, 2010. The Ravens will also host the Budweiser Gala, the NSF's annual gala dinner, on Tuesday evening, February 2, 2010 at M&T Bank Stadium.
The rich tradition of professional football in Baltimore returned in 1996 when the league awarded the team to the city. The unique nickname was inspired by the poetry of former Baltimore resident Edgar Allan Poe. A veteran team that had already played as a unit took the field and avoided the usual growing pains of a new team. Success followed soon thereafter highlighted by a thrilling 34-7 victory in Super Bowl XXXV.
In addition to the victory in Super Bowl XXXV, the Ravens have an AFC Conference championship (2000), two Division championships (2003, 2006), and have made five playoff appearances (2000, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008). The Ravens moved into their new home, M&T Bank Stadium, in 1998.
