We tend to think of relocations as a particularly modern feature of professional sports, something that only today’s breed of greedy billionaire owners would even dream of doing. But that’s not the case. At all. Owners have been relocating pro sports teams since there were pro sports teams to relocate. In fact, some of the most iconic franchises in pro sports today started out in other cities.
The Lakers? They started out in Minneapolis. Relocated to Los Angeles in 1960. The Athletics? Relocated from Philly to Kansas City in 1955 before heading out to Oakland in 1958. The Redskins? Relocated from Boston to DC in 1937.
And let’s not forget about the New York Yankees! Baseball’s most iconic franchise didn’t start in New York. They started as the ORIGINAL Baltimore Orioles in 1901. Then they moved to New York and became the Hilltoppers in 1903, before changing their name to the Yankees in 1913.
So like I said, relocation has been going on forever. It sucks for fans. But it’s just an inherent part of professional sports.
However, that is NOT to say that all relocations are created equal. Some are DEFINITELY worse than others.

To show how angry Baltimore got from the move, from 1996-2012 whenever the colts played the ravens in Baltimore the scoreboard listed the Colts as "The Indianapolis Football Team" not the colts.

@ZhangtheGreat 5 лет назад

@@jessemarano5644 Yup, it's completely true. When the Colts ran out of the tunnel in Baltimore, they were introduced as the "Indianapolis Professional Football Team," and while every other team got their team name displayed on the scoreboard during the game, the Colts were only shown as "Indy" instead of "Colts."

Indianapolis building an NFL Stadium for a team they didn't have is another great story on it's own.

@ZhangtheGreat 4 года назад

This move was so bizarre and unique that several of its aftershocks are unique in and of themselves: - Until 2012, Baltimore refused to use the name "Colts" whenever the Colts played in the city. They were introduced as the "Indianapolis Professional Football Team," and the scoreboard would only show them as "Indy" instead of "Colts." - The Baltimore Colts Marching Band was left behind (someone warned them in advance of the move, and they got their equipment out before the trucks came in) and somehow stayed as one entity in the twelve-year absence of professional football. When the Browns moved in and became the Ravens, they were adopted by the new team and renamed "Baltimore's Marching Ravens." - Former Colts legends such as Johnny Unitas (among others) have cut off all ties to the Colts and considered the Ravens as their team. - The lone Super Bowl trophy the Baltimore Colts won (1970 season, the first after the AFL-NFL merger and the first to be named the Vince Lombardi Trophy) did not go with the team to Indianapolis. Instead, a settlement was reached that allowed the city of Baltimore to keep the trophy. This is the only instance in which a franchise did not get to keep a championship trophy after relocation.

@cpcva724 Год назад

They got another trophy however

@AEMoreira81 Год назад

At the time, the uniforms were being dry cleaned. They ultimately became the marching band for the Baltimore Stallions in the short lived CFL experiment. When the Browns’ team was announced as moving to Baltimore, and the Browns were in suspended operations for 3 years, they became the Marching Ravens. The Stallions became the third version of the Montreal Alouettes.

Excellent background story. As a Baltimore Colts fan, this remains the darkest day in Baltimore Sports history. I like how he showed how irrational Irsay was. It was nearly impossible to deal with him. He would say one thing one day, and deny he said it the next. The former GM of the Colts said that he had to talk to Irsay before noon, because he was usually drunk by then. Irsay was impossible to deal with.

@jakealden2517 4 года назад

I'm from Baltimore and when I was a kid the loss of the team was heartbreaking. However, the facts show that Irsay had no choice. He warned politicians for 10 years that he was going to take the team, but they never made any reasonable offers. The idea that he made a surprise move in the middle of the night is not true. The fans also bear responsibility for voting against stadium funding and supporting politicians who refused to build a new stadium. Isn't interesting that suddenly Baltimore came up with a beautiful new stadium just 11 years later? They could have done it before and kept the Colts. But hey we have the Ravens now, so something bad turned into something great, including 2 Super Bowls.

@adamdorgant9454 3 года назад

Jake Alden Looking back on it, Baltimore Deserved to Lose the Colts, and why, The City of Baltimore no longer supported the team, and also, because Baltimore was stupid enough not to build a new stadium for the Colts, no wonder they moved to Indianapolis!!!!

@douglasshortridge4343 2 года назад

Irsay is like ever NFL team owner. He's in business to make 💰. Team owners are not in business for fan enjoyment. Baltimore and it's fans didn't want to spend tax payers money to keep the team. Indianapolis just finished building a brand new stadium with no team. Naturally the city was looking to steal a team. Indianapolis gave Irsay a gold mine. Escaping in the middle of the 🌙 saved Irsay a lot of 💰 fighting eminent domain. The Baltimore 📻 broadcasters for the first couple years broadcast the Colts home and away games. There was some people in Baltimore that actually thought for the first couple years that the Colts were going to move back to Baltimore. It cost a whole lot more to get the Browns than it ever would have to kept the Colts. In 1995 Art Modell tried to get Irsay to sell him the teams name, colors, and records Irsay said they weren't for sale.

@Raykibb1 4 года назад

I have lived and died (figuratively) with the New Orleans Saints who came into existence when I was 5yo in 1968. When Katrina struck San Antonio’s mayor made gestures that the temporary move of playing our home games there while the Dome was repaired should be made permanent. Tom Benson, the team owner, was originally from New Orleans (owning the Saints and Pelicans) but had made most of his fortune in San Antonio. I was already quite upset over loosing everything I owned due to the flood, but now MY beloved Saints might be taken. All turned out for the best, and I will never forget that first game back in the Dome playing the Falcons, with U2 performing ‘The Saints’ are coming.’ But, I cannot imagine what the Colt fans in Baltimore must have felt.

@homedeezyfasheezy5662 Год назад

I remember that like yesterday. I live in Austin, which is right around the corner for Sa Town. Even though they have a NFL sized stadium San Antonio will probably always be used as a pawn by other teams to either get what they want from their current city or one with a more attractive market. The Raiders are the most recent example. They would constantly bring up San Antonio as a possible destination before landing in Las Vegas.

So, I guess file this under "looking from the other side". I've been a Colts fan ever since they moved to Indianapolis. I thought it was pretty cool that we have a NFL team now, says 7 year old me back in 1984. Looking back today, Sure Bob Irsay was a jerk, but you had 14 years from the first whispers of new stadium or else to get something done and Baltimore didn't! Indianapolis sure made a huge gamble building a stadium with no permanent tenant, and boy did that pay off. True then and true now, build and they will come (or stay)

@adamdorgant9454 3 года назад

That’s Because Baltimore Deserved to Lose the Colts, and why, The City of Baltimore no longer supported the team, and also, Because Baltimore was Stupid enough not to build a new stadium for the Colts!!!!

@billallen8998 4 месяца назад

What you didn't mention was that the stadium situation was so bad that the other NFL owners gave Irsay the ok to move wherever he chose. Also, the eminent domain seizure probably wouldn't hold up in court but it would have prevented them from moving anytime soon.

Removing the browns from Cleveland was so wrong on so many levels. One of the founding teams of the league in the state where football started. Art was in major debt and to bail himself out he moved the team that was loved by Cleveland.

@jasonfire3434 5 лет назад

Founding teams of the league? They didn't even become an NFL team until the 40s (They were in the AAFC before then)

@shawnm9237 5 лет назад

Listen up smartass football has been around for since longer than the NFL. The founding representatives made football in a mechanic shop in canton Ohio. All the teams in the first professional league were from OHIO teams. So next time you think you know something look it up.

The worst relocation of NFL football team of all time the Baltimore colts moving Baltimore on the Mayflower that stab a dagger in the heart of Baltimore colts fans and let's talk about the relocation 95 Cleveland browns to Baltimore it's kind of strange and weird at the same time we did get a football team back here in Baltimore for the 96 season but as an expansion team known as the Baltimore Ravens two super bowls and a 17-year. And 11 playoff appearances it's not bad for an expansion franchise but art modell did do the city of Cleveland wrong the anger in the frustration I've seen the new Cleveland browns struggle 20 years and hadn't had a good quarterback since Bernie kosar. hopefully Cleveland browns fans can be happy with Baker Mayfield
