The Ravens and Orioles have not been able to resolve a scheduling conflict that could force the Ravens onto the road for their Thursday Night Football season-opening game, Ryan Mink of Baltimoreravens.com reports citing a league source. There is a tradition that the Super Bowl-winning team opens at home on Thursday night, that’s a desirable game for the champions because it’s a celebration of their season and allows for longer rest before their Week 2 game. The opener would be scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 5, but the Baltimore Orioles, who play next door and share parking lots, also have a game slated for that night at 7:05 p.m. versus the Chicago White Sox. One option the league considered was for the Ravens to play on Wednesday night, but decided against it because that's the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah, the other option for Thursday night would be that the Orioles would move their game time. The league source said the “least desirable†option for the Ravens to open on the road. Source: The Redzone
Although I agree NFL>MLB, giving an unbias view point, why cant the baseball team move ONE of their games for the Ravens home opener??? They play freaking what like 500 games in the season?
This is some kind of joke. The Orioles players should drive the Ravens' players to the game given what the Raven did for the entire community. Love baseball, but given it's one of 162 games, nut it up Orioles management.
