We’re in that slow period between the Super Bowl and the new league year where it sometimes feels like the NFL world has ground to a halt. And that makes it a perfect time to ask: Where in the world are our Baltimore Beatdown readers?
Fandom is a curious thing. For most, it is either geographical or inherited. Others follow their favorite players. And then there are the contrarians, and of course, the fair-weather fans.
The Ravens fanbase is no different. Many have still fond memories of the Baltimore
Colts, they swore off the franchise when it moved to Indianapolis. The city never forgave the Colts for leaving for Indianapolis, so local fans were quick to adopt the former Cleveland Browns in 1996. They also embraced the team’s physical, dominant defense, headlined by Ray Lewis, Peter Boulware, and fan-favorite Tony Siragusa. That style of play fit with Baltimore’s identity as a blue collar city. Winning Super Bowl XXXV in just the fifth year of the franchise supercharged the fanbase and broadened their appeal across the NFL.
Ravens fandom has evolved over the years. Renewed success with John Harbaugh and Joe Flacco brought excitement back to the team, culminating in a Super Bowl XLVII. Then, in 2018, Lamar Jackson arrived in Baltimore, which has kept the Ravens in the national spotlight ever since. Fans from Louisville and South Florida joined Flock Nation, as did many who simply appreciated Jackson’s magical quarterback play.
The team has also worked to expand their international presence. In 2025, they joined the NFL’s Global Markets Program to build their fan base in the United Kingdom. During last year’s draft, fan and draft analyst James Ogden announced the Ravens’ fourth-round selection of linebacker Teddye Buchanan from the Raven Pub in London.
We don’t want or need your address or any personal details — sharing just the state is fine, or city and state if you’d like to be more specific. Same thing if you live abroad – if you’d like to just share the country, that’s cool, and if you want to share more details like the city or region, that’s totally up to you.
