OWINGS MILLS -- The Baltimore Ravens will hold three open practices during training camp.
The Ravens are set for practices at M&T Bank Stadium on Aug. 4, at the Naval Academy on Aug. 12 and at Stevenson University on Aug. 19.
The Ravens will also hold a lottery for fans to attend practices at team headquarters.
"It's important for us to connect with as many of our fans as we can during training camp," Ravens team president Dick Cass said. "We know we can't duplicate the fan experiences we had at McDaniel College, but these opportunities will give many people an opportunity to get up close and personal outside of our home games."
Meanwhile, Ravens coach John Harbaugh and assistant coaches will host the Ravens Football Clinic at McDaniel College on June 16.
"Our staff is looking forward to the clinic," Harbaugh said. "We'll teach some football, stress some life lessons and have fun."
McDaniel will host the Joe Flacco Passing Academy with Flacco, backup Tyrod Taylor, offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell on July 6 and July 7.
One-hundred invited high school players will attend.
"We're excited to build relationships with area high school kids and work to help them improve," Flacco said. "This gives us an opportunity to teach young players many of the things we go through each week during the season. We want this to be something they can take with them and utilize in the long haul. This extends beyond football, as we will focus on what it takes to be successful both on and off the field."
Meanwhile, the Ravens have donated $100,000 to help complete the construction of McDaniel College's new on-campus stadium. Named Kenneth R. Gill Stadium, the facility will be used by the Green Terror's football, field hockey, lacrosse and track and field teams.
"Through the years, McDaniel College has been a terrific partner with us," Cass said. "We're happy we can help them with this important project."
Construction began this past February, and the stadium is scheduled to open on Sept. 15, when McDaniel hosts Muhlenberg College in the football home opener.
