Ravens fans have always traveled well, but Sunday was unlike anything an opposing team had ever seen before. Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel writes that Ravens fans gave the visiting team “home-field advantage on the road” and estimated that half of Sun-Life Stadium was purple.
Being the reigning Super Bowl champion has its perks, but nobody ever said it came with home-field advantage on the road.
But that is what the Baltimore Ravens claim they got inside Sun-Life Stadium on Sunday, where a conservative estimate of those attending the Dolphins-Ravens game would guess at least half of the crowd in attendance were Ravens fans.
Great team win….we aren't perfect but we are gonna grind until we get it…love this team

Kelly says that Sunday’s game was “BY FAR” the best stadium takeover he has ever personal witnessed. Bravo, Ravens fans.
I believe Baltimore fans in general have started to travel well. Many road O’s games this year saw a large number of Os fans in attendance.
It also should be noted, that Harbaugh was seen on TV after the game encouraging his players to walk the perimeter and thank the Ravens fans for being there. Saw it myself a few times. It was a classy move on his part.
Charlotte was just like that when the Raves traveled to face the Panthers. Such a great atmosphere to be part of.
The way we Baltimore fans travel, we may soon be compared to Yankees and Steelers fans. Yikes.
