Below is a list of information pertaining to Sunday's Baltimore Ravens vs. Carolina Panthers game, presented by official gameday sponsor Leidos, at M&T Bank Stadium (1 p.m. kickoff). The day marks the Ravens' 2022 Salute to Service game, which supports the initiative designed to honor service members in all branches of the military.
RavensWalk Activities
Full Spectrum, the United States Air Force rock band, will perform on RavensWalk as fans arrive at the stadium. There will also be several U.S. military vehicles stationed on RavensWalk, with which fans can take pictures.
Additionally, in partnership with Leidos, fans can bring unused prescription drugs and dispose of them on RavensWalk, as part of the DEA's "National Prescription Drug Take Back Day." Drug disposal packets will also be distributed for Ravens fans to safely dispose of unused prescription drugs in the future.
Gate Giveaways
Upon leaving the stadium once the game has ended, all fans will receive a Ravens poster, which is the third in a series of four specially-designed poster giveaways to celebrate the 2022 season.
Introductions
The Ravens' offense will be introduced. As part of the Salute to Service game recognition, each player will be accompanied out of the tunnel by a member of the U.S. military holding an American flag.
National Anthem & Flyover
Prior to the national anthem, the Frog-X Parachute Jump Team will skydive onto the field. There will also be a large American flag held by military members on the field while the United States Naval Academy Glee Club performs the anthem. Additionally, there will be a flyover by four A-10 Warthogs from the 175th Wing 104 Fighter Squadron.
