On March 28, 1984, Bob Irsay (1923-1997), owner of the once-mighty Baltimore Colts, moves the team to Indianapolis. Without any sort of public announcement, Irsay hired movers to pack up the team's offices in Owings Mills, Maryland, in the middle of the night, while the city of Baltimore slept.Submitted by DfcukinLite t3_1266gy4 in baltimore

He only said that he was working for mayflower at the time and they were all assigned to show up and everyone was shocked when all of a sudden the Colts were sneaking put of town under cover of darkness. Everyone was pissed off but no one was going ro get fired over refusing to do the job

Had to be insano to be some of the first to know. Can't imagine the emotions driving your team to flipping Indianapolis.
