"Johnny Unitas Memorial Stadium."

Johnny Unitas never played a day of football in Indianapolis. Not even one minute.

As a kid, I saw Johnny U on the Memorial Stadium playing field, as an adult spectator at pee-wee football games in Towson, and at youth club events in the Baltimore area. He was worshipped.

"Johnny Unitas Memorial Stadium" can only be in Baltimore. Anything else is utter blasphemy.

By the way, there is only one "Colts" and it is the Baltimore Colts. That Indianapolis club does not share the heritage of Johnny U, Ray Berry, Bubba Smith, or Art Donavan. Never did and never will.

Is Unitas the real family name or was it changed when they came over?

Grow up...

Indy fans would riot in the streets if you tried to rename the RCA Dome after Unitas[sp?].

Oi...
