Pre-game rituals in Baltimore are no joke. There is one fan section, Section 11, called the Hawk’s Nest, which is in and above the rest of the stadium. Besides the fact that this section travels to both home and away games, they have one crazy tradition that sits out above the rest. Before every home game, the Hawk’s Nest get a live pig and slaughter, and grill it in the parking lot. A lot of people thought this was unsanitary, but don’t worry folks! There is a portable clean room, and one of the fans is a trained butcher. Some people think this is inhumane, but the section believes it will bring fear to their opponents.
During the game, some people would describe this fan section as “hooligans” like you get from soccer games. Every opposing quarterback deals with the slurs and chants from the section, and they do not get off the pedal. One great chant that has been heard before “He Cheats, He Dives, He Hates the Jackson 5, Chris Orosz, Chris Orosz.”
A lot of the chants, remarkably, don’t make a lot of sense, but that’s what happens when you sell a lot alcohol to the fans because the team is having a down year. Hopefully these chants and traditions continue to thrive in Baltimore, because for the moment, the team hasn’t been.
