A Rich History of Football in Indianapolis
The NFL’s Indianapolis Colts relocated to Indianapolis from Baltimore in 1984 and have built a winning tradition. Originally, the Colts played in the Hoosier Dome (later renamed the RCA Dome) until Lucas Oil Stadium opened in 2008.
The storied history of the franchise has seen quarterback legends including Johnny Unitas, Peyton Manning, and Andrew Luck. Manning’s 2007 team won a Super Bowl title thanks to Coach Tony Dungy and Ring of Honor players including Edgerrin James, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dwight Freeney, and Robert Mathis.
Today, Coach Shane Steichen leads a highly competitive squad that competes in the AFC South where they annually battle the Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, and Jacksonville Jaguars for divisional titles. Daniel Jones will lead an offensive attack featuring running back Jonathan Taylor and receivers Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce. Plus, rookie tight end Tyler Warren. The defensive side of the ball is locked down by veterans DeForest Buckner, Zaire Franklin, and Kenny Moore.
