For Raven's fan Matt Andrews Being a Rooter is "Family Tradition"

Matt Andrews comes by his passion for football in general and the Baltimore Ravens in particularly naturally.  As a Native of McKeesport, Pa., 30 miles south of Pittsburgh, Andrews is from a region where football is practically a religion!  As the nephew of the late Bill Andrews better know as "Willie the Rooter"-his zest for supporting the home team is considered family tradition.

Today, Andrews follows in his uncle's footsteps as a fan of the Baltimore Ravens. Elated by the NFL's return to the region, Andrews shows his True Raven Color in a unique way. Matt started out traveling to the Raven's Home games in a customized van that looks like it was designed in the team's marketing department. Painted as the “12 Man Fan Van” it included Raven Logo's, players and coaches signatures, and external speakers that blasted Raven's call as it traveled through various neighborhoods on game days.  Since this time & presently Matt Andrews has acquired a new name and following. To date he is know a "Fan Man".  He was honored by the NFL and PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME as the Millennium 2000 "Ultimate" Raven fan in the VISA HALL OF FAN'S in Canton, Ohio. He has his own unique trading cards, and was the recipient of two Super Bowl XXXV tickets presented while appearing on TRL live at Tampa Bay.  In 2001 he traded in the van for the Fan Bus, which not only duplicated the features of the van, but also added more special effects.  The “Fan Man”, along with the “Bus Boys”, and members of the Birds of Prey, Ravens Nest No. 1 fan club, tailgate, attend away games, as well as charitable, social, and public events.  Hope you enjoy this web page; we have a great time providing the pictures you will view.
