Kevin Dayhoff – The Tentacle: Ravens Strike at Westminster’s Heart

Wednesday, December 7, 2011

Last Friday the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League announced that the team will not be returning to McDaniel College in Westminster for summer camp, breaking a tradition that dates back to 1949.

[…]

The ExploreCarroll.com article also took note of the owner of the Raven’s, Steve Bisciotti, ties to Westminster. He was quoted as saying that “some of my best memories as a kid are my family's visits to the Colts' training camp in Westminster…”

More on that in a moment, first a little history.

Baltimore football in Carroll County is an intergenerational dynamic that goes back to just a few years after World War II.

Football in Baltimore can trace its lineage to the All-America Football Conference in 1946 and another lineage to the NFL in 1944, according to multiple media sources, my old childhood Baltimore Colts files, from research in 2004 when I found an excellent article on the net, “Life Before Indianapolis: A History of the Baltimore Colts.”
