Have You Ever Wanted to Play Like a Raven?

On Monday, September 17, you could be on the field at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore for the 4th annual “Biggest Little Tailgate Party,” sponsored by Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Maryland Mentoring Partnership.

From 6-9 p.m., you can take the field for fun games and competitions, tour the Ravens’ locker room, and mingle with Poe, #93 Cory Redding, and of course, the Ravens’ cheerleaders. Baltimore restaurants will provide all your favorite tailgate food, and with a special appearance by Charm City Cakes’ Mary Alice Yeskey, I’m guessing dessert will be pretty darn delicious as well.

Tickets to the event are $50 each (discounted children’s tickets and family packs are available) and proceeds go to support Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Maryland Mentoring Partnership. Get yours now by visiting www.tailgateparty.kintera.org or calling 410.856.1506.

(*Disclaimer: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Maryland is one of my company’s clients, thought I’ve never personally been involved with the organization. That said, it’s a unique, fun event for a great cause so I’d support it anyway.)

Disclaimer: I will be attending the event courtesy of my company - Big Brothers Big Sisters is one of their clients - but I’m not involved with the organization or this event. I chose to promote it on my blog because I think it’s a great cause and I think it’ll be fun, and I decided to attend because of those reasons, and also because I actually like my coworkers but I rarely get to hang with them outside of work! I’d love to hang out with some of my readers too, so if you’re able to make it, be sure to let me know!

A little peek at my evening at Ravens Stadium.

Tonight I left work and made my way over to M&T Bank Stadium for the 4th Annual Biggest Little Tailgate Party, sponsored by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Maryland and the Maryland Mentoring Partnership.

It was an absolutely beautiful night at a pretty darn cool venue.

I got there a little late so I skipped the food, drinks & cheerleader photo ops (jeez, why even bother then??) and headed straight to the turf.

SUCH a great scene. I’ve only been to M&T once, for last year’s game vs. New Orleans, and on game days, it’s a totally different place (obvs). Tonight, the stands were empty, but the field was full of kids and their parents running around, playing catch, playing cornhole, lining up to try field goals, taking photos, and just enjoying a great night in Baltimore.

The locker rooms were open, so of course we went inside and peeked at the lockers (all empty), read some leftover notes on the whiteboard from yesterday’s game, and even stepped on the enormous scale (yikes!) before heading back up to the field for a little running around and posing for photos before we were shooed off the field.

It was pretty cool getting to hang out on the field “after hours,” especially since many of my coworkers were there repping the purple & black with me. (There are a lot of Ravens fans in my office, and after working in a non-sporty office for awhile, I get a kick out of all the purple in the workplace on Purple Fridays; events like this are even better! Many, many thanks to my company for getting my name on the list.)

And……

I was just informed, as I was writing this post, that I was spotted on the local news coverage of the event (WBAL viewers: anyone see me?) I missed it, but that’s pretty awesome, too. Great night all around!

Sports in Stilettos got into the end zone at M&T Bank Stadium Monday night!
