What does it mean to be a PSL Owner?

When asked what it means to be a PSL Owner, Joe Romano spoke from the heart. For him, it is about so much more than just having a guaranteed seat at every home game — it’s deeply personal and rooted in family, tradition, and lifelong memories.

“My grandfather’s favorite thing in the world was Ravens football,” Joe shared. “He got me introduced to it — going to games, bringing me to my first game — still to this day, those are things you can never forget.” Even though his grandfather has passed, feels that he’s with him at every single game. Every time he walks into M&T Bank Stadium, it’s a tribute to those memories, a way to honor his grandfather’s legacy.

Financially and logistically, maintaining his PSLs is a major commitment, but one Joe embraces wholeheartedly. “If I had to work three jobs to keep my season tickets, I would,” he said. Traveling for each home game typically costs him “no less than $1,000” per trip, but he prepares for it with careful planning and dedication. “I work and I save all year when football is not there to make sure I’m always going to be able to go to Baltimore, have a good time, and buy the jerseys and the things I want to do to help support.”

For Joe, supporting the Ravens isn’t just a hobby — it’s a way of life. “I live and breathe purple,” he said proudly. “Besides food, the roof over your head, your car, and your bills — this is the next thing for me.” His passion for the team is fueled by both past and present players, primarily being inspired by Lewis and Reed. “And then you get people like Roquan [Smith], Lamar [Jackson] and [Kyle] Hamilton — they keep you driving. There’s always that force that keeps you wanting more.”

It’s that relentless energy and pride that fills the stadium, sometimes pushing the noise level up to 125 decibels on game days. “That’s why people love going to Baltimore,” he said. “It’s fun!”

Ultimately, Joe considers being a PSL owner one of his greatest personal achievements. “Being a good son for my mother was important,” he said, “but I can tell you, this is right up there with it.” For Joe Romano, owning a PSL isn’t just about attending football games — it’s about honoring family, embracing a community, and living with a passion that never fades.
