The Ravens encouraged ticket holders to remain at M&T Bank Stadium tonight after the conclusion of the team's pre season game against the Minnesota Vikings. The reason... to watch the NBC broadcast of Michael Phelps' final race of the Beijing Olympics on the stadium's SmartVision board.

Michael just won his 8th Olympic Gold and Baltimore's Raven's Stadium was filled with with 70,000 fans. Baltimore has so much to be proud of. Look at the crowd that stayed late and watched Michael finish his fantasic accomplishment!

A Gold and A Bronze Olympic Medal! Both Swimmers from Baltimore!

Margaret,

That guy is just not human! There has to be some sort of new vitamin in the water or the foods he's eating...I remember Spitz as the same but Phelps is from another planet.

James, He is so amazing.

Steve, Good for the Broncos for doing the same as the Ravens

Martha, Those attributes can take us through life, if applied. Lots of pride is felt.

Neal, When you find that vitamin,I know you will sharing it with everyone here on the Rain.

Margaret, I used to live about a 1/2 mile from Raven's stadium on Race St. Whenever they had a game you could hear the cheers from our living room. I bet it was booming that night. Wish I could have been there to share with the rest of my home town.
