BALTIMORE, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- An enthusiastic fan of the hapless Baltimore Ravens is keeping vigil on the roof of a friend's bar, vowing to stay there until his team wins.

Ron Stack is hopeful he will be able to leave the roof of Canton Station after Sunday's game, The Baltimore Sun reported. That's because the Ravens are playing the Miami Dolphins, a team with an even worse record.

"If they don't beat a 0-and-13 team, it's back to bingo for them," he said.

But he plans to stay on the roof even if the Ravens lose this time -- "I'm not cutting out," he vowed.

Stack is roughing it in some style, with a mechanical Raven and a garland of purple lights keeping him company as he sits in his Ravens chair with its built-in cupholder. He also has a tent, an air mattress and a space heater.

"I'm trying to drum up support because a lot of fans are ticked off right now," he said.
