Sports Legends Museum 301 West Camden St. Baltimore, MD 21201

Join us for a discussion on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. as we look back on the rich history of football in Maryland.
Attendees will delve into the history of teams such as Navy, Army, Notre Dame, the University of Maryland, the Baltimore Colts and Ravens, and have the opportunity to explore the museum’s various football exhibits. We hope to see you there!
