The history of the Colts fanbase is very deep. Up until 1984, the current Indianapolis Colts were located in Baltimore. Bob Irsay, the owner at the time, asked the city of Baltimore to make improvements to the stadium. However, after several heated arguments with the city, the state of Maryland passed a law allowing the city of Baltimore to seize the Colts from Irsay. In order to keep his team, Irsay quickly took an offer from Indianapolis to relocate the team and packed everything up during the night and moved. Many Baltimore fans continued to support the Colts despite the rough ending, but the establishment of the Baltimore Ravens in 1996 drew a lot of fans back to Baltimore. Nevertheless, the Colts still have a strong fanbase will over 60,000 fans listed on FanWide.
