Ravens Revving For Playoffs: Tickets, Purple Friday, Flock Party

BALTIMORE, MD — Now that the Baltimore Ravens claimed the AFC North division title, the team is gearing up for the AFC wild card game this weekend. It will be the second time the two teams meet in two weeks; the Ravens beat the Los Angeles Chargers, 22-10, in California on Dec. 22.

"In the playoffs, we just have to keep going. We’ll start with practice. We have to practice hard, and we’ll go from there," Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said after Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. "We’re not going to get on our high horse. We’re just trying to fight for the championship."

Ahead of Sunday's playoff game, fans will be gearing up too.

There will be a Ravens flock party Thursday at the food court in White Marsh Mall. Ravens mascot Poe, Ravens cheerleaders and alumni as well as 98 Rock personalities will be attending the event, which will feature giveaways. The party lasts from noon to 2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 3, at the White Marsh Mall, 8200 Perry Hall Blvd, Baltimore, MD 21236.

On Purple Friday, fans can get their cars stenciled in Lot D at M&T Bank Stadium for the "Purple Friday Fuel Up," where the 98 Rock Morning Show will host a live broadcast. Cheerleaders, former players and Poe will be at this event too, which runs from 6 to 10 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 4, at M&T Bank Stadium, 1101 Russell St, Baltimore, MD 21230.

The AFC wild card game will be at 1:05 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 6, in Baltimore. Get tickets.

Fans were cheering so loudly at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday, Dec. 30,that Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team could barely hear.

"The fans were awesome," Harbaugh said after the Ravens beat the Browns, 26-24. "It’s exactly how we wanted our stadium to be."

The cheers are likely to grow even louder as the Ravens take on Chargers this weekend in the AFC wild card game at home.

Whoever wins when the Ravens and Chargers meet at 1:05 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 6, will go on to the divisional round the following week.

The AFC championship game will be on Sunday, Jan. 20. The Super Bowl will be Sunday, Feb. 3, in Atlanta, broadcast on CBS.
