According to Sebastian Stolz, the General Manager of the Ravens, the team’s success is not just about the sport itself, but also about the entertainment value they offer to their fans. “Logistically, it’s a challenge when our home games are so close together,” Stolz says, “but we’re taking it one game at a time and focusing on our goal of making it to the playoffs.”
