Bluetooth speakers and homemade first-down chains help Ravens fans celebrate victory away from M&T Bank Stadium

On Sunday, Josh Leese’s home in Bel Air was a mini-M&T Bank Stadium.

“Seven Nation Army” poured from a Bluetooth speaker, along with “The Baltimore Fight Song” and “God Bless The U.S.A.” There was a Ravens helmet that got passed around after each touchdown, and stadium traditions abounded.

“We had an actual chain that was hanging down from our deck that we would shake every time we got a first down,” said Matt Hamilton, who attended Leese’s watch party.

Before any normal Ravens season opener, Leese and his friends would be parked between lots D and H, cooking up french fries and plenty of other tailgate fare.
