April 8th signifies a notable date in the Baltimore Ravens' history concerning their ownership structure. While Steve Bisciotti's complete takeover occurred later, this day often relates to earlier agreements or milestones in his team acquisition. This transition brought new perspectives and financial backing, ultimately contributing to the Ravens' continued success and their passionate connection with the Baltimore community.
Steve Bisciotti took over as the controlling owner of the Baltimore Ravens, succeeding Art Modell, who operated the franchise for 43 years in Cleveland as the former Browns and the newly named franchise in Baltimore. Since Bisciotti took over in 2004, the Ravens' 151 wins are the fifth-most in the NFL. The NFL.com's archives even reveal that the Ravens were Super Bowl XLVII 47 champions in the 2012 season, and their young quarterback, Lamar Jackson, was named the 2019 AP MVP.
