If you're a true Ravens' fan, you know that preseason practices are normally held at McDaniel College up in Westminster, Maryland. If you're from Baltimore, you probably pronounce it Westminister. When the Ravens are there, they stay at the Best Western Motel on Route 140. However, the preseason practices at McDaniel College were canceled when the NFL and the players' association failed to come to a contract agreement.
Now that the NFL successfully beat Congress in coming to an agreement in their respective arena, the preseason has started and the Ravens are conducting their practices at their facility in Owings Mills, Maryland. If you're from Baltimore, you probably pronounce it Owings Mills, hon.
While driving to The Green Turtle for lunch today, I noticed that the Hyatt Place hotel, formerly the Amerisuites Hotel, at the corner of Painter's Mill Road and Red Run Boulevard (the boulevard that I think Kevin Kamenetz hates because he's not getting it fixed) has fencing all around it, and at the two entrances there is a canopy with security guards with bullhorns. I think bullhorns are the peace-love-dope method of security. "Hey you! Go away!" But that's okay. So I don't know with 100% certainty, but I'm pretty sure that's where they are staying.
Here's a picture of the hotel that I took through my windshield one day, so it's a crappy picture, but if you're familiar with the area you'll know where it is.
