### **Sports Business Journal Says The Castle Might Be 'Best-Kept Secret in Sports'**
[Sports Business Journal publisher and executive editor Abraham Madkour](https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2025/11/02/madkour-one-day-in-baltimore-and-a-trip-to-the-castle/) visited the Ravens facility in Owings Mills last week and came away very impressed with The Castle, calling it possibly "the best-kept secret in sports."
"It's a remarkable headquarters and training facility, built in 2004 but having undergone multiple renovations over the years," Madkour wrote. "Set in the quiet, leafy suburb, it's one of the most elite team facilities I've ever seen, and another indication of the mindset of owner Steve Bisciotti, who is one of the most low-profile but also underrated owners in sports.
"Everything is state of the art, from the traditional practice fields, weight training and recovery spaces, to an elegant auditorium, extensive broadcast studios and grand stairways and hallways lined with paintings from games during the team's Super Bowl years. There is also a team dining hall that was buzzing on a Tuesday, as players, staff and guests eat for free."
Madkour added that the prominently displayed portrait of late owner Art Modell was "another classy touch in an incredibly classy facility."
