Ravens surrounded by media on arrival at New Orleans for Super Bowl

Coach John Harbaugh and Baltimore Ravens players were surrounded by hundreds of members of the media as they arrived Monday at their New Orleans hotel in advance of Sunday's 47th Super Bowl, Washington's WUSA-TV Channel 9 reported.

Their arrival in the Big Easy followed a thronged rally sendoff on Baltimore's Inner Harbor earlier in the day, which attracted thousands of purple-clad fans, as well as a number of area notables.
