The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football team based in Baltimore. They compete in the National Football League as a member club of the American Football Conference North division. The team plays its home games at M&T Bank Stadium and is headquartered in Owings Mills.
The club was established in 1996, after Art Modell, who was then the owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced plans to relocate the franchise from Cleveland to Baltimore in 1995. As part of a settlement between the league and the city of Cleveland, Modell was required to leave the Browns' history and records in Cleveland for a replacement team and replacement personnel that would resume play in 1999. In return, he was allowed to take his own personnel and team to Baltimore, where such personnel would then form an expansion team.
The Ravens have been one of the more successful franchises since their inception; the team has qualified for the NFL playoffs 12 times since 2000 with two Super Bowl championship titles, two AFC Championship titles, four AFC Championship game appearances six AFC North division titles and 15 playoff victories.
