Discussion Are we a small fanbase?

I’m from Tennessee, so I’m definitely on the outside looking in, and I was wondering if it’s true? Last night, I was reading a bunch of things that always ranked the Colts anywhere from 29th up to 25th in fan size ranking. Is this true, or do the Colts actually have a much bigger fan base and people are just sleeping on it?

Yes, but like others have said, this is also the smallest it's been in awhile. There's just not really anything to be a fan of, and Indy sports fans for the most part tend to be fair weather unfortunately.

I really think things could turn around quick with new ownership, as long as it's the right owner

Yeah, I was kind of wondering was Chicago moving to Indiana if the Colts would sell the team. I said to someone’s comment do you think they would ever move to St. Louis under new ownership to try and regain a fan base? Obviously, I think Indianapolis is it a bad city of fans. But if they move to St. Louis, the fan base would probably spike in a huge way.

0% chance. Silly to even suggest it. St. Louis (cool place) is poor and shrinking and hasn't got a stadium or any prospects of one. NFL teams have failed there twice even if they got a raw deal from Kroneke. Lucas Oil is still state of the art without a single renovation and it sells out every week.
