In 1953, with its earlist predecesor Dayton Triangles a wearer of the NFL jacket and founding member of the NFL which was originally created in 1913, officially founded the club in Baltimore, Maryland.Changes such as: from Dayton Triangles they were renamed the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1930; from Brooklyn Dodgers they changed their name to the Brooklyn Tigers in 1944 and in the same year, the founding of the Boston Yanks were gone through by that team.The Boston Yanks and Brooklyn Tigers were merged temporarily in 1945 and resulted to a new team known as the Yanks.The team’s temporary merger with the Boston Yansk was made permanent, while the separate franchise with the Brookln Tigers was cancelled at the end of the 1945 season. The Boston Yanks moved to New York and became the New York Yanks in 1949.They absorbed the AAFC’S New York Yankees roster the next year. In 1952, the New York Yanks moved to Dallas and were renamed the Dallas Texans.The Dallas Texans franchise was reorganized and moved to Baltimore in 1953, thus adopted the name Baltimore Colts, but kept the blue and white colors of the Texan team.

Leaving no choice, the Colts were forced to accept the offer from Indianapolis to play in a new dome, due to the failure of the local and state elected officials of Maryland to provide a new stadium for the Colts.In tears, Baltimore’s Mayor Schaefer, who likes to wear a jacket and had been promised a call by Irsay if the team was to move (but never received one) appeared on the front page of the Baltimore Sun.He placed the building of the new stadium above his legislative agenda after the Colts left, in spite of earlier stance that the Baltimore City will not build a new stadium for the Colts.

Hudnut, Indianapolis Mayor held a press conference on March 29, 1984 and announced that an agreement has been reached.With approval of the Capital Improvement Board in March 30, who operated the Hoosier Dome, the deal was sealed.20,000 new Colt fans cheered after Mayor Hudnut proclaimed the March 29, 1984 as one of the greatest and unforgettable days in the history of the city.

Indianapolis became the first dome team to win a Super Bowl in an outdoor stadium, the first to win in the rain, and the first to win after having the statistically worst rushing defense in the league during the regular season.

The story of Indianapolis Colts is more likely similar to a Cinderella Story.After a series of hardships, fairy godmother will surely come.
