M&T Bank Stadium

The bid for a team in Baltimore was a response to the 1983 move of the Baltimore Colts to Indianapolis, as city officials wanted to bring an NFL team back to Baltimore. The city struggled to draw the NFL back to the city until 1993 when the city was considered a favorite for a 1995 league expansion as NFL officials feared litigation if other favorite St. Louis was chosen. Eventually, the two expansion slots were awarded to Charlotte, North Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida, possibly due to Jack Kent Cooke lobbying against Baltimore due to its proximity to Washington, D.C. home of the Washington Redskins. The controversy led to public outrage with The Baltimore Sun claiming that Taglibue, who was friends with Cooke, had an “Anybody But Baltimore” policy that would block all efforts to bring football to Baltimore.
