Last updated 📅 2025-03-28

March 28, 1984 -  The Colts relocated from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984. Reports say that franchise owner Bob Irsay moved the Colts in the middle of the night after renovations were not made to Memorial Stadium in Baltimore as he thought they should be.

Mr. Irsay became a nemesis of then-city mayor William Donald Schaefer. When he later became Maryland’s governor, he converted the outrage into the political will to build Camden Yards. Irsay acquired the club in 1972, a year after they won Super Bowl V when he traded his rights to the LA Rams to former Colts owner Carroll Rosenbloom.

The Colts had a new stadium in place in the RCA Dome, called initially the Hoosier Dome, which they called home for 24 seasons in Indianapolis before Lucas Oil Stadium was built. Since in Indy, the Colts have made 2 Super Bowl appearances and even won Super Bowl XLI with Tony Dungy as coach and Peyton Manning under center.

Memories of the past are not always happy occasions. March 28 seems to involve more sadness than happiness in terms of the significant events of the gridiron.

We lost a few legends, and the city lost its franchise and even part of its identity. As often occurs from the ashes, we can remember the good times and the accomplishments of those who are gone and appreciate the contributions to the game...
