Ravens Honor Mo Gaba With Special Tribute In End Zone

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Baltimore sports superfan Mo Gaba passed away in late July after a lifelong battle with cancer.

So, the Ravens wanted to do something special to honor him on their first game of the year.

The team painted the letters "M" and "O" in the Baltimore-stenciled end zone gold.

To make it even more special, his mother Sonny was able to paint on the last few strokes.

All 575 seats of section 146 will be filled with cardboard cutouts of Mo. Section 146 is in the corner of the end zone and will get plenty of air time that way.

The Ravens kick off their season Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
