Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football team based in Baltimore. They compete in the National Football League as a member of the American Football Conference North division, play their home games at M&T Bank Stadium and are headquartered in Owings Mills, Maryland. The club was established in 1996 after Art Modell, then owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced plans to move that franchise from Cleveland to Baltimore. Under a settlement between the league and the city of Cleveland, the Browns' history, colors and records stayed in Cleveland while Modell took his own personnel to Baltimore to form an expansion team. Steve Bisciotti bought a minority stake in 2000 and became majority owner in 2004.
