The Indianapolis Colts Football Tickets  Watch A Sharp And Professional Football Team In Action

The Indianapolis Colts are a highly successful, professional football team based; you guessed it right, in Indianapolis. They have the distinction of being the champions of both the American Football Conference and the National Football League in 2006. If you want to see exciting game of football, book your Colts Football tickets and get ready for an amazing display of great football action.

The History

Tracing the history of the Colts gets a little complicated, since there have been a number of teams with that name at different points of time in the history of the game. There was earlier a team called the Miami Seahawks that played in the 1940s and 50s. This team was a part of the All America Football Conference. This team relocated later to Baltimore and renamed itself as the Baltimore Colts. Soon the All America Football Conference merged with the National Football League and that is how the Baltimore Colts came into being in the NFL. In Baltimore, the team won four NFL championships and the Super Bowl V.

The Colts were always crowd pullers. They were the first team to have cheerleaders and a marching band. This was of course backed up with some great football and in 1958; the Colts defeated the famous New York Yankees 23 -17. This game has gone down in history as (probably) the greatest game ever and when 1959 saw the Colts repeat their performance, beating the Yankees 31-16, it really cemented their place as an all time great team.

Fortunes in games can turn, and this is what happened to the Baltimore Colts in the 70s. Things didnt go too well and soon there was a tussle between team owner Robert Irsay and Baltimore City. Robert wanted the city to upgrade the stadium or build a new one but the city was not so inclined since the team was not performing well and attendance at the stadium was dwindling rapidly. Matters got to be so bad that Irsay began actively looking for a different city to take the Colts to.

Indianapolis emerged as a good option and with the city offering to fund the Colts in return for a shift there, the Colts moved out at 3 AM on March 29. Many feel that a better word to use for the teams departure would be sneaked out rather than moved out.

Such a controversial move could obviously not be without legal wrangling and there was a whole flurry of it. What happened is shrouded in legalese but the outcome was that Baltimore reached a settlement with the Colts under which all the lawsuits were dropped and the Colts agreed to support a new team for Baltimore. Things did not work out as envisaged and in 1993, when it was time to expand the NFL, the Irsay family chose to support other cities for the franchise. This caused a lot of bad blood between the city of Baltimore and the Colts. I am sorry to say, the feud does not look like finishing any time soon.

Normally vaulting ambition is also linked with superb performances. That seems to be the only reason why the Colts still attract viewers in the numbers they do. If you want to watch a great game, choosing the Colts is always a safe bet. Getting tickets is not so simple though. If you are a die hard fan, you know the best method is picking up your Colts football tickets from a reputed online vendor. This spares you the rush and the possibility of disappointment besides giving you a number of seating options and the best possible prices.
