Founded in 1996 by Art Modell, the Baltimore Ravens came into being to bring professional football back to the city of Baltimore after a long absence. The idea sparked when Modell, the long-time owner of the Cleveland Browns, decided to move his existing organization to Maryland because he was struggling financially and wanted a new, modern stadium that Cleveland wouldn't provide. Although the move was controversial, it established a new franchise in Baltimore. Today, the team is owned by Steve Bisciotti, a local businessman who bought the team from Modell in 2004. Today, BaltimoreRavens.com is run by the organization's internal media team and is mainly focused on sports news. They cover game highlights, player statistics, roster changes, and draft analysis, as well as the team's charity work in the community. They are based in Baltimore, Maryland, and serve as the official, direct source of information for fans of the team. One interesting fact: A unique fact about the Baltimore Ravens is the literary inspiration behind their name. Unlike most NFL teams that are named after aggressive animals or local industries, this team was named to honor a poet. In a fan contest, the city voted to name the team "Ravens" as a tribute to Edgar Allan Poe, the famous writer who lived in Baltimore and is buried there, known for his classic poem "The Raven."
