Thank You Baltimore

Posted on by

We love you and embrace you!

Thanks for coming out in great numbers and supporting us.

Thank you for being a part of the Rock the Red mania.

Thank you, too, to the Baltimore media for covering our team. Here is a nice blog post about us. Go Caps!

  1. Last year when Donald Brashear visited our ESPN Zone I thought I’d be the only person there… Boy was I wrong!!! Your Capitals are growing in popularity by LEAPS AND BOUNDS up here!!! Please have a pre-season game in Baltimore, and thank you for doing things like the ticket discounts last year for us as we have to drive, that was truly awesome!!!

  3. Baltimore absolutely should embrace the Caps. They too know how it feels to lose to Pittsburgh.

  4. Ted,

    Thanks for the wonderful job you have done with the Caps and the recognition of the Baltimore area. I have been a hockey fan since the mid-60s and used to see them play in person quite a bit until the family started growing. I hope that someday we can get a real arena built in Baltimore and (hint, hint) we can get an AHL team back in here. Until then I will keep watching and listening.

  5. +1 season ticket holder in Baltimore.

    Got on board 5 years ago, moved, and would never think of giving up my tickets.

    430 Row B Seat 13 – come say hi anytime (anybody!)

  7. …but balance that with (1) Angelos stealing most of the Nationals’ local telly money; (2) the city possibly luring DC United away; and (3) that infernal ‘OH!’ during the national anthem.

    A love-hate relationship, I would say.

  9. Aaah, I e-mailed you last year and told you what was happening here in the Baltimore area in reference to the popularity of your team! Its only gotten better. My family have been rockin the red for about 2 years and we have gotten so many people to come with us to Caps games. We brought someone last night and already have more people asking to come with us on the 30th. When you were shown on the screen and everyone cheered (including us :) ) our guest looked at us totally bewildered. We told him that your an awesome owner and that you totally appreciate the fans. You are truly loved Mr. Leonsis and I hope to meet you soon. Thanks for caring so much about everyone’s experience at Verizon Center. Coming back (with more friends)to DC to rock the red soon!

  10. In addition to being “Charm City,” as of last few days of this Summer now call Baltimore the “City of Hope.”

    I can smell it as I walk down the street in the mix of old wood, fresh air, dead cigarette butts, a mix of cobblestone, grit, and dampness. I see it in the young second young newlywed couple et. al. coming out of the second street downtown I park on a recent Saturday just a couple blocks of Eager Street. I recognize it in the man I meet at the cafe bar.

    Baltimore is also “The City of Youth.” The young men and women walking it’s streets and sidewalks are less owned; undefined. The folks in the cafes, coffee shops, and bookstores are of you and me.

    Cross a line and in the North and rows of cinder-blocked tiny row houses are 9-to-1 with a home with a cared-for plant on the front porch bragging a single colorful flower stretching to towards the sun next to an empty lot strewn with syringe wrappers.

    After nightfall; scariest place on earth. If one drives to Baltimore in the Summer on a Friday or Saturday night, take 295 N to MLK, then hang a left on Philadelphia and drive North; he or she will experience a third-world-like country right here in the U.S.

    As D.C. Baltimore is on the forefront of the
    re-urbanization of the U.S. I have great affinity for it that has built in moments throughout my lifetime. It’s also an industry town that needs a show and films coming through, but MD and VA rank 47th and 48th out of the 48 states providing public funds and incentives to producers. People love shooting in D.C., Baltimore, and VA but simply will not come here until we get those in place. i.e. a feature film set in VA Beach will soon begin production on the shores of Lake Michigan. They would love to come shoot the whole thing in VA beach, but it doesn’t make any sense. Film incentives make a lot of sense. Literally and figuratively :-)

  12. No, thank you Ted. It’s our pleasure. Became a fan when the Colts left and its good to see others jump on board. Definitely would have season tix if I lived closer but I get to 10 games a year or more.
