The Indianapolis Colts have played their home games at Lucas Oil Stadium, in Indianapolis, since 2008. They previously played at the RCA Dome, which was located a short distance away. The franchise was formed from the dissolved Dallas Texans NFL team in 1953. There had been two professional football teams with the name Baltimore Colts before 1953, and continued fan support in the Baltimore area led the NFL to approve the purchase and relocation of the defunct Texans by the Baltimore-based owners. The Baltimore Colts played in Baltimore Memorial Stadium until the team moved to Indianapolis in 1984.
