Mike received an email from Karen Howe, the sales manager of the Crown Plaza in Jacksonville, stating that the rate for the weekend of the road trip is now $149 a night for any new group bookings. At the moment they will still honor our $99 a night rate if the reservation is booked under our block of rooms. You must contact Mike first in order to make your reservation. Mike will then notify Karen so you can make your reservation.
The package, excluding the hotel and travel expenses, will also include a 3-hour tailgate party, the water taxi ride to the tailgate party (you will have to pay for the ride back), a tee shirt and a koozie. The total cost will be between $125 and $140 a person depending on the seats Mike purchases from the Jaguars. If you do not want the package then you will have to purchase your own game day tickets.

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go
And put that ball across the line
So fly with talons spread wide
Go in and strike with Ravens pride
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ravens dark wings take flight
Dive in and show them your might
For Baltimore and Maryland
You will fly on to victory
