We're hours away from kickoff, and fans are en route to Tennessee while some stayed behind to prepare for the big game.
We're hours away from kickoff, and fans are en route to Tennessee.
Jessica Kartalija reports those who stayed behind, young and old, are ready for the big game.
Some are in the air, and some are on the ground, but they'll all be heading into Tennessee for the big game.
"I kinda stayed up all night so I can sleep on the bus," said a fan.
Meanwhile, a traveling pep rally spread purple pride throughout the city.
In Baltimore County, GMBC is "Wacco for Flacco," and Purple Friday was in full force.
In Owings Mills, little fans cheered on the purple birds. The
tiny fans prepared their best cheers for game day.
"They are so excited, and they have been the last few days," said Sandy Gold Raynes. "They hear their parents, they hear us excited, they see the purple all around. It's in the air, they really get the idea. It's an exciting exciting time."
At Har Sinai, the pint-sized fans wear purple.
So move over Ravens cheerleaders. The kids at Har Sinai are already working on those Super Bowl cheers.
