The team relocated to Indianapolis in 1983, after they were unable to secure a deal for a new stadium from the city and facing the real probability that a bill in the Maryland General Assembly would have allowed the city to seize the team by [[eminent domain]]; upon completion of negotiations between Indianapolis and the Colts a fleet of moving trucks (from Mayflower Transit, conveniently headquartered in Indianapolis) was dispatched and within 24 hours anything which could have been seized in an eminent domain suit was quickly loaded and shipped out (the move was so fast that the team marching band, not owned by the team, had to rush to reclaim its equipment).
