Ellen Moreau is like many Ravens fans. A longtime supporter, she hopes the Ravens can win the Super Bowl this season. She lamented the team's injury-riddled campaign last year and thinks they can reach the mountaintop this time around if they stay healthy.
Seeing the Ravens in person, however, is a challenge for Moreau. She lives in northern Virginia, about two hours away from Baltimore. In fact, Moreau went to the Washington Commanders training camp a few years ago simply because it was closer to her.
When the Ravens announced they would be having an open training camp practice at the University of Maryland, it was a triple whammy of great news. Not only could she see her favorite team at a reasonable distance from her place, but she could also bring her son, Ben, and his friend, Alex, who's a big-time Ravens fan.
Moreau is also a Terp, so her favorite NFL team playing at her alma mater's football stadium made for an amazing crossover episode.
"It was perfectly in the middle, and I get to be on campus," Moreau said. "It's awesome."
