Ravens To Hold Training Camp Next Month In Owings Mills: Report

OWINGS MILLS, MD – Baltimore Ravens President Dick Cass has never much liked the idea of moving the team’s training camp out of Owings Mills – and perhaps out of Maryland entirely – due to ongoing coronavirus concerns and guidelines established by state officials.

But sources told The Baltimore Sun this week that training camp will remain at the team’s facility at the Under Armour Performance Center, where they have trained in the offseason since 2011. The NFL has stipulated that teams run workouts at their main facilities to help limit the spread of coronavirus as league officials work to determine what the upcoming season will look like.

Cass has kept the option of moving the Ravens out of Owings Mills for training camp open but said in a conference call hosted by United Way of Maryland last month that he would prefer the team stay put.

“When we think about the option of trying to move our training camp outside Maryland, we don’t like that option,” Cass said on the call. “We think that we can conduct training camp safely in Maryland.”

Team officials have indicated that they hope to begin training camp on time beginning next month despite the uncertainty of what impact the pandemic will have on the NFL season.

The team’s training facility opened on a limited basis last week after players had been training remotely since mid-March when the pandemic forced team facilities to close over health concerns. Under NFL guidelines, the Ravens are not permitted to have more than 75 staff members or other employees in the building under once during the initial phases of reopening.
