Fans wait to trade in Rice jerseys

Thousands of Ravens fans lined up with Ray Rice jerseys in hand to exchange them Friday in a team-organized event at M&T Bank Stadium.

Some people waited over two hours to trade in their No. 27 jerseys for ones sporting the names of Joe Flacco, Torrey Smith or Terrell Suggs at no cost.

Ravens officials won't announce how many jerseys were exchanged until the two-day event is over on Saturday. But the line stretched the lengths of two football fields by Friday afternoon.

"If you don't want the jersey, it's worth the wait," said Dana Liebman of Baltimore.
