Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Biscotti said his team and the NFL are willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the season opens at M&T Bank Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 5, so it's up to the Baltimore Orioles to give a little themselves.

The Baltimore Sun reported that Biscotti has offered to cover any lost revenues the Orioles might incur if they agree to move their 7:05 p.m. ET game against the Chicago White Sox at Camden Yards to an afternoon start time.

"In fairness to Major League Baseball and the Angeloses, we're trying to dump a pretty big problem on them and we're asking them to make a lot of concessions that will benefit us and potentially harm them though it doesn't necessarily harm them," Bisciotti said, according to the newspaper. "The bottom line is if they wanted to do it, they would find a way to do it. From the Ravens and the NFL standpoint, we'll do whatever we have to do in order to keep that tradition."

The defending Super Bowl champion has opened the season on a Thursday night since 2004. Last year, the NFL moved the opener to a Wednesday night to avoid conflicting with President Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention.

So far, there's been no progress in talks for this season's opener, and Wednesday, Sept. 4 is not an option because it's the first night of Rosh Hashanah.

"I don't know how much goodwill we've built up at both the league level and the team level. I hope it's enough that [the Orioles] say, 'This is a good thing to bend over backwards to accommodate them,'" Bisciotti said, according to the newspaper. "I think a doubleheader -- if we can move it a little later and they can move it a little earlier -- and we can pull it off, I'm trying to figure what would be a greater day in Baltimore. The call-in sick factor in Baltimore that day ... they might just close every office in town and say, 'Go do what you want to do.' I think it's an opportunity for Major League Baseball to look really good, too, if they can some way figure it out."
