The Baltimore Ravens are a fairly new franchise in the NFL. It took a lot of time, stress, and conversations for Art Modell to get the NFL to agree to the Ravens moving to Baltimore (from Cleveland). The first two years, of their new career, was spent in Memorial Stadium (the home of the Baltimore Colts). After this stint, the Raven’s new stadium was ready for play. Over the next 10 years the stadium would undergo numerous name changes, leaving the Ravens without a true ‘home’.

The move to the stadium was supposed to motivate the team, which would — in turn — help them to play better. This; however, did not happen. Their next two years were just like the two years previous, unimpressive. After a 6-10 year, the team got a new head coach by the name of Brian Billick (who replaced Marchibroda). The season of 1999, their first year with Billick, had a rough start but ended on good terms. The Ravens had their best year yet with an 8-8 record at the end of ‘99.

Not even ten years later, the 2008 season, the Baltimore Ravens nearly made it to the Super Bowl. In a fight on home turf against the Jaguars, they won their spot in the AFC playoffs placement. An unfortunate turn of events allowed them to slip out of the running for the Super Bowl, but they made it farther than they ever had.

With the ‘08 season leaving sports enthusiasts with some hope, the ‘09 season had nothing but positive openings. Raven fans had an exciting year in 2009. The team played exceptionally hard during summer training. Preseason practice and games proved this to be true. Their ‘08 season gave them 26th place in draft picks, from which the Ravens went home with Michael Oher.

The Baltimore Ravens, still a fairly infantile team on the league with only 11 seasons under their belts, had a strong year. Sports enthusiasts and fans alike wait in anticipation to see what the Ravens will dish up in 2010. Rumor has it, the Ravens may just have the drive that will get them to the Super Bowl. The Ravens are going to be a hot topic in 2010; don’t miss it!

The Chicago Bears, beloved NFL franchise since 1919, have had many glorious years, with many more to come. This is one of those old-time teams that has a place in the hearts of thousands; a team full of passion and fight, a team that does what it takes to get to the end. Two short years after they were founded, the Bears began their rivalry with the Green Bay Packers, one thing fans can count on year in and year out. One year after this rivalry began, the Bears took their current colors, and have kept them ever since. That is one of the great things about this team, besides their talent, the fact that they are stable and are not going anywhere anytime soon.

Wrigley Field, another popular field to Chicagoans, was used as the Bears’ stomping grounds in the old days, mostly for scrimmage games. The team, obviously, needed a stadium they could call home, which they had not too long after they were a team, a stadium we all know as Soldier Field. Over the years the stadium has taken a lot of abuse, and required quite a bit of remodeling. The entire stadium was pretty much tore down and rebuilt by 2003, leaving only one wall from the original stadium. The new stadium was so different and new, in fact, that it was even renamed the Soldier Field II.

The Chicago Bears have always made record sales for home games, and even games on the road. Ticket sales, for the Chicago bears, are well within the top 20 highest sales across the entire league. In fact, they are within the top 10 most profitable teams in the NFL, and its history, with a cash flow of 1.1 billion dollars. The combination of their solid history, the 2009 roster changes, and summer training, the 2009 season was just as eventful as every other season the Bears have given their fans. Jay Cutler, a Pro Bowl quarterback from the Broncos, joined the Bears in the spring of 2009, which added some great talent to their offensive line.

Over the many years that the Bears have been providing solid entertainment for sports fanatics, they have retired more than ten numbers. Some of these retired numbers were from original players like George Halas and McAfee, Bill George, Harold Grange, and Sid Luckman. Walter Payton, loved and adored from the 80s, is yet another retired number along with Bill Hewitt, Dick Butkus, Clyde Turner, Gayle Sayers, Brian Piccolo, Bronko Nagurski, and Willie Galimore. The Chicago bears have deep history, and have made a name, for them, that will stand through time. Their fans support the Bears in a manner that would nearly make you believe they were part of the team.

Football fans experience adrenaline like no other when watching a game, especially live, but nothing compares to the adrenaline a Chicago Bears fan experiences while sitting on the edge of their seat at Soldier Field II. In fact, Bears games are so thrilling you don’t even have to be a fan to feel as if you are in the game; they will keep you begging for more. You must see the Bears live in 2010 as it will be phenomenal season.
