🏈 Baltimore Ravens
πŸ“ Baltimore, Maryland
🚌 Light Rail to Camden Yards station, directly adjacent to both stadiums. From downtown hotels it's a 10-minute walk. Parking is available but expensive on game days.

M&T Bank Stadium opened in 1998 in the Camden Yards sports complex alongside Oriole Park. One of the most intimate NFL venues with a famously loud crowd. The tailgating culture in the surrounding lots is among the best in the NFL.

πŸ’‘ Insider tip: Tailgating in Lot H starts 5 hours before kickoff and is genuinely legendary. Come early, bring food, and meet the locals. Purple is everywhere β€” wear it.

🍴 Baltimore Can't-Miss Eats

You cannot leave Baltimore without eating these.

Steamed Blue Crabs
The defining food of Maryland. Steamed with Old Bay, eaten with mallets and newspaper at a picnic table. Not optional β€” you must do this.
Crab Cake
Maryland crab cakes are a different species from what you've had elsewhere. Lump crab, minimal filler, broiled or fried. LP Steamers and Faidley's are the gold standard.
Old Bay Everything
Maryland's spice blend goes on seafood, fries, chips, popcorn, bloody marys. Buy a can to bring home.
Pit Beef
Baltimore's own BBQ contribution. Beef sliced thin from a rotisserie pit, served on white bread with horseradish and onion. Get it on Pulaski Highway.
Berger Cookies
A Baltimore institution since 1835. Thick shortbread cookies covered in a dense layer of dark chocolate fudge frosting. Available at grocery stores citywide.
National Bohemian (Natty Boh)
The iconic Baltimore beer. The mustachioed one-eyed mascot is on everything. Drink it cold at a crab house.
