The Baltimore Ravens team name was selected by fan vote shortly after owner Art Modell brought the franchise from Cleveland and left the Browns name and history there by legal agreement. The name Ravens was listed as one of the top 2 names that fans voted for (and ultimately chose) as poet Edgar Allan Poe lived and is buried just about a mile from M&T Bank Stadium, where the Ravens currently play. His famous poem "The Raven" written in Baltimore, was the inspiration for the name. Colts was the other name at the top of all the fan votes. Modell approached Colts owner Jim Irsay (still vilified in Baltimore) about buying the rights to the Colts name and former records/history, but he wanted $50 million for the privilege. Modell, though willing, was in no position financially to make such a transaction.
