Trivia

• The Colts' Lombardi Trophy from Super Bowl V is reportedly in the possession of Georgia Frontiere, owner of the St. Louis Rams. Frontiere's late husband, former Colts' owner Carroll Rosenbloom, swapped franchises in 1972 with Rams' owner Robert Irsay but managed to keep possession of the Super Bowl trophy by "borrowing" it and simply neglecting to return it. NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle authorized a replacement trophy for the Colts; ironically, the Colts lost possession of this trophy in 1986 when, as part of the legal settlement following the Colts' move to Indianapolis, the replacement trophy was awarded to the city of Baltimore.[3]
• The Colts are one of eight "dome teams" in the NFL, and in 2007 became the first such team to win a Super Bowl since the 1999 St. Louis Rams, and the first ever to win one in an outdoor stadium.
• The Colts are the only team in the AFC South to have won a Super Bowl.
• All three of the Colts Super Bowl appearances have been in Miami.
• No Colt has won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award.
• Before every Colts home game, the RCA Dome monitors display the fighters in the final battle of the movie "Braveheart" with all the fighters, whose faces are conveniently painted blue, screaming and shouting while the crowd inside the Dome joins in
