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

I was 6, and I remember being immensely disappointed when it happened. I had dressed up as a Baltimore Colts cheerleader for Halloween the previous fall.
The funny thing is, I was never really into football. My dad is a big football fan, and he encouraged me to cheer for our home team, but I never really got interested in it the way he was.
