WHO ARE WE?
|
We are a group of fans in Harford County who banded together to share a common ground in supporting Baltimore football. We began as Colts Corral No. 39 in support of The Baltimore CFL Colts (later to be renamed Stallions after the NFL law suite over the name Colts). For a brief time we were known as Stallions Corral No. 39. In April of 1996, after 12 long years without NFL football, we embraced the Baltimore Ravens as Ravens Roost No. 39 and since November 1999 as Ravens Nest No. 1. Our group currently consists of 195 die hard Raven fans. We are a proud member of The Birds of Prey - Chamber of Ravens Nests, Inc - The Ravens' Ultimate Fan Club!
We are also currently working with several prospective Nests throughout Maryland and in other states.
