Parkville's AFC Championship Purple Friday

Unfortunately, unless you already have tickets, you won't be able to meet Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith and line backer Brendon Ayanbadejo when they stop by in Loch Raven tonight to get fans charged up for Sunday's game.

Fortunately, however, you can still celebrate Purple Friday in style when the Ravens caravan stops by this evening. Ravens cheerleaders, front office staff, playmakers and, of course, mascots Poe, Rise & Conquer will descend on the North Plaza restaurant around 6:45 p.m.

Bateman's will be the only caravan stop in Baltimore County and the last stop of the evening for the touring Ravens staff, who will leave the restaurant around 7:15 p.m.

In addition to all the awesome Ravens action, Bateman's is offering specials like $3.50 Blue Moons and $2.25 Miller Lite bottles as well as a happy hour in the bar from 4-7 p.m. featuring all-you-can-eat tacos and fajitas.

, and this week we have the honor of being the only stop in Baltimore County — a testament to the passion of our local Ravens fans.
