It housed a Canadian Football League team (that drew surprisingly well) for two seasons. And, when a fan tried to run across the field, LB Mike Curtis showed the form he used on quarterbacks and flattened the intruder with a forearm shiver. Although the team later fell on hard times and eventually moved to Indianapolis, the NFL Colts were so beloved (and the Memorial Stadium fans were so loud), the place was once referred to as “The World’s Largest Outdoor Insane Asylum.” We profile Memorial Stadium, the former home of the Baltimore Colts.
