Join us at M&T Bank Stadium for a behind-the-scenes tour of the home of one of the hottest teams in the NFL this season-- the Baltimore Ravens! We’ll take in the building from the suite-level to the locker-rooms. Plus, we’ll learn about the enormous Knabe Piano Factory that used to be at the same location. Who would have known that 129 years after Knabe sponsored the opening concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall that the Baltimore Ravens would have an opera-singing kicker (Justin Tucker) performing at the same spot where grand pianos once were made to be shipped to the nation’s opera houses? Join us for this touchdown tour to talk both football players and piano players.
