Indianapolis Colts

The Indianapolis Colts represent the Crossroads of America in the AFC South, playing at Lucas Oil Stadium with its retractable roof in downtown Indianapolis. The Colts have built a tradition of offensive excellence and quarterback greatness, from Peyton Manning's record-setting years to Andrew Luck's promise to the current era. Indianapolis has embraced the Colts since their 1984 arrival from Baltimore, with the city's love of sports creating a devoted fanbase in the heartland. The Colts' blue and white colors and the iconic horseshoe logo connect the franchise to its Baltimore roots while establishing Indy's identity. The franchise continues pursuing another Lombardi Trophy to add to its collection.

The Colts trace their roots to Baltimore, where they won NFL championships in 1958 and 1959—the 1958 title game against the Giants is considered the greatest game ever played—and Super Bowl V in 1971. The controversial 1984 relocation to Indianapolis initially devastated Baltimore but eventually created a new chapter, with the city building the domed stadium that would become Lucas Oil Stadium. Peyton Manning's 14 seasons produced a record-breaking offense, two Super Bowl appearances, and the 2006 championship that brought Indy its first Lombardi Trophy. The Manning-Reggie Wayne-Marvin Harrison connection and Tony Dungy's leadership defined an era of Colts excellence. Indianapolis has fully embraced the Colts as its own, with the franchise's history spanning two cities and multiple championships.
