Would you still be a Colts fan if they moved to another city?

But seriously, if the modern day Colts moved to another city, would you still be a fan of them?

 

Me? I would be. Its the team I grew up with.

Same here. That has been my favorite team since they moved to Indy so I don't think it would change now as I am getting older.

[colts2dasuperbowl]

I am an asian dude living in Cali. I never lived in nor visited anywhere near Indy, but I am Indy fan since Marshall Faulk days. I'm an Indy fan for life!

 

[21isSuperman]

I think so.  Over time, you grow an emotional attachment to the organization, even if you only became a fan because that's the city you're from.  That's why so many Colts fans cheered for Peyton when he was in Denver.

[cgi4life]

Always a colts fan no matter what.  Grew up in Baltimore and I was like 10 yrs old when they left.  I cried hard but remained loyal.

[Nadine]

I just don't see how I could change.  I know so much about this team

[crazycolt1]

I was a Colt fan when they were in Baltimore so I think I would continue if they moved.

[csmopar]

Well I'll be the first to vote not only NO but h e double hockey sticks NO!!!  

 

Yes i I realize the Colts came here from Baltimore but the circumstances lead to that with eminent domain trying to be used. The recent moves by San Diego(now LA) Chargers, the raiders and rams annoy the heck out of me and really turn me off as a fan towards ever watching them. I get that the NFL is a business first but it's getting to the point where they are taking their fans for granted and searching only for money. After the tax payers of this city footed the bill for not one but TWO new stadiums for the Colts, I'd be beyond angered if they even thought about moving.

[twfish]

Nope I wouldn't be, I'm a die hard colts fan and live in Indiana. They are almost as much of Indy as the 500 and to lose them for marketing purposes you can count me out

[WoolMagnet]

Many of us did with the move from Baltimore.

where u been?

 

i live about 2hrs from Baltimore. I live , i dont onow, 10 hours  from Indy?

[Crush22]

I would be until Indy got another team......if they got another team.

But would still be a fan.

[PrincetonTiger]

It would all depend on how the departure went

Thats a good point. If its anything like the Rams departure, I'm not sure I'd be too happy.

[TDewar1987]

Maybe, it depends why though.

[Imrryr]

I dont live in indy but I am a fan cause I was born there despite little time spent there. I dont know any team i could get excited to watch other than the colts and yet I doubt id support the colts if they left.

[MTC]

Yes, considering I'm not from Indiana. 

[Fisher8820]

Yeah I think I would still be a fan if they moved to another city. I have been a Colts fan most of my life and grew up watching them during the Peyton years. 

[ColtStrong]

Yes, I'm a fan of the team, not the city. I was a Baltimore Colts fan, now an Indy Colts fan. Doesn't matter to me where they play. Plus I'm too old to start rooting for a new team.

[alawai]

I'm old, prehistoric but surely not a living treasure!  I go back to names as Donovan, Gino, Mutz, The Horse, Johnny U, Vogel and Moore!  Why would I switch loyalties just for another Mayflower move.  Nope then I'd have to remodel my Colts Corner!  I bleed blue, been a Colts fan before many of you were born!  I'm married for life!  Oh and I wish it was only 2/3 hour drive to Indy.

[Superman]

I have no ties to Indy, besides being a fan of the Colts. I'd feel bad for you locals, but assuming they didn't overtly dog the locals out, I would continue being a fan. 

[lester]

Indianapolis is not Baltimore. Unless some heinous potential eminent domain chicanery were taking place that could force the team to have no other recourse but to seek a new home, unless some situation like that existed (which it does not now exist), I would feel hurt and betrayed were the Colts to leave Indianapolis. I would likely not continue to feel the same affection for the organization if that were to happen.

[k9copinmd]

Been there done that. I stuck with them before. I would stick with them again.

[dodsworth]

I would quit watching the NFL for the most part so no.

[Carlos Danger]

I can't say for sure, but I'd probably be too bummed to be a Colts fan anymore... If another franchise moved here after, I'd be tempted to root for them...

 

I would definitely stay a Colts fan if I moved out of Indiana, myself...

 

I definitely wouldn't be able to be a fan of an L.A. Colts team... Part of the charm of the Colts, for me, is at least the pretense of a Midwestern work ethic and emphasis on character, despite how incompatible that image is with reality at times.

[TheMarine]

It would depend entirely on how/why they left, to be completely honest.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I've been a Die Hard Colt Fan when they were in Baltimore. I've never been anywhere near Indy, so Yeah I would be a fan no matter what city.

Don't give the NFL any ideas now TK lol

[FanFromtheWasteland]

Until another team came to Indy

[bananabucket]

Not a chance.  I'm a fan of teams representing the state, bottom line.

Same, except I am a white dude from Oregon.

 

But, if Portland got a team that would change. I would be a fan of both teams but develop more of a connection with the Portland team over time.

I've always liked the Colts style of play as well as their personell, the QB tradition

Good question..I;ve been a raiders fan from way back and I'll stay with them in Sin City

[Chrisaaron1023]

Lol I've never been to Indy, I've been a fan for 13 years now. I think in the age of bleacher report and nfl ticket. Being a local fan isn't really.. needed I guess? Like it was 50 years ago. 

 

If they moved I'd still be a fan

I became a Colts fan when my favorite Ohio State player joined them.  Tom Matte.  That's how ancient I am. So yeah, I'd follow the laundry again.

[MackAttack]

yup.

[Yoshinator]

I became a Colts fan when they drafted Peyton Manning, and I live in Colorado. So I've had a lot of good memories and wouldn't leave them. The city doesn't matter too much unless they moved to California or New York (the two states I really don't like). If I wanted to root for someone else, I would root for the Broncos, and I remained with the Colts, even when Peyton got signed by them (only rooted for them in the SB for Peyton).

Yes Tom Matte.  The Garbage Man!  That was no disrespect to him but a true compliment!  He was always there for the scheduled pick up; did his job and didn't complain; actually did more as he was an emergency QB think during the playoffs game with plays on a wrist band; yes and a garbage truck cost more and last longer than your luxury car, it ain't pretty but gets the job done... Yes smonroe Tom Matte was the man!

[ReMeDy]

Unless another team moves to Indy in their place, I guess I'm stuck rooting for the Colts, so I'll reluctantly say yes.

I already answered this question ... with their move from Baltimore.
