Aloha!
My fan story begins in 2000-2001 when I began watching Polynesian guard Edwin Mulitalo. Each week during NFL season, the news focused on Polynesians and players from Hawaii. I once saw them focus on Mulitalo because the Ravens were in the Super Bowl, so I started following the Ravens. Once I saw the 2000 Super Bowl game and the Ravens defense, I was a fan.
However, being in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the closest to watching a live game with Ravens players is the Pro Bowl.
After getting a career started, my girlfriend, Lauren, and I decided we would save $100 from every paycheck for one year to go see a live Ravens game.
