Some sense of what it was like at a Baltimore Colts game in the mid 1970's.
This game against the Detroit Lions was in front of only 45, 124 fans, and Baltimore lost 13 - 10.
The Colts had a hard time selling out even though the team was winning division titles at the time...
Bob Irsay had begun openly shopping the team by, at latest, 1976. So, I think this, as well as his chaotic style, really turned off Colts' fans. Colts fans were used to winning and a team that was competently run. We weren't used to a boob like Bob Irsay!!
Memorial Stadium was also awful, as you can tell by the massive amount of bench and individual wooden chair seating in the different scenes of this vid. Much of the seating was no better than at the avg high school!
Anyway... the move was meant to be... as it gave us our beloved and respectable owner... Steve Bisciotti and his Baltimore Ravens!!
