We will share with you what we do and where we will be so that you can join us in the celebration of our football team and the community activities we believe in and support! 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 known as “Willie the Rooter”, his zest for suppor
ting 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. 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 # # 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 many more special effects. The “Fan Man”, along with the “Bus Boys”, and members of the Birds of Prey, Ravens Nest No. 1, Harford County Raven fan club, tailgate, attend away games, as well as organize, conduct, and participate in many charitable, social, and public events.
