Indianapolis Colts history
Baltimore was the first home. Owner Carroll Rosenbloom started the Colts there in 1953 by buying the assets of the Dayton Triangles and Dallas Texans franchise. The Baltimore years brought ten playoff trips, NFL titles in 1958, 1959 and 1968, a loss to the Jets in Super Bowl III and a win over Dallas in Super Bowl V. After the 1970 merger they were one of three old NFL clubs placed in the AFC.
The team moved to Indianapolis in 1984 and spent 1984 to 2007 at the RCA Dome before switching to Lucas Oil Stadium in 2008. Since the move the Colts have made the playoffs eighteen times, won Super Bowl XLI over Chicago and dropped Super Bowl XLIV to New Orleans.
