The national anthem is different at Ravens home games. You can feel it every time the singer is introduced on the field, with the M&T Bank Stadium public address announcer stating, “Now, to perform ‘The Star-Spangled Banner,’ written right here in Baltimore.” You can feel it again when the home crowd does the local custom of loudly emphasizing and elongating the “Oh” in the lyrics, “Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave.”
