Can't get enough of those Super Bowl champs, the Baltimore Ravens? Head over to the Maryland Historical Society at 5 p.m. today for the opening of "Ravens: Festivus Maximus Exhibitus," an exhibition celebrating the team's winning season. Highlights include the Vince Lombardi Trophy, Ray Lewis' alternate Super Bowl jersey, autographed collectibles and Super Bowl XXXV mementos. Tonight's celebration features an appearance by Poe, the Ravens' mascot, and a mini-tailgate party with ballpark food and other refreshments.
