The "MO" in Baltimore painted gold in the Baltimore Ravens' end zone is a tribute to Mo Gaba, a beloved Baltimore sports superfan who passed away at age 14 in 2020 after battling cancer. Mo was a devoted fan of the Ravens and Orioles and was known for his positivity and inspiring spirit. The Ravens honor his legacy by painting the "MO" in gold in the stadium end zone, symbolizing his lasting impact on the Baltimore sports community.
Mo Gaba's mother even applied the final strokes of the gold paint, and the Ravens have dedicated a section of the stadium seats filled with cutouts of Mo, called "Mo’s Rows." His significance extends beyond the stadium, including a street named in his honor and his induction into the Orioles Hall of Fame.
The rest of the letters in "Baltimore" are painted white with gold outlining, making the gold "MO" stand out as a touching tribute to Mo Gaba.
