In the final episode of "The Move," host JJ Stankevitz follows the immediate and long-lasting impact of the Colts' move from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984. How did the Colts get set up at an abandoned elementary school and manage to pull off the logistics of playing in Indianapolis in 1984? What did the city of Baltimore and its residents do in the wake of the Colts' shocking move? And how, over the last 40 years, did the Colts' move change the landscape of two American cities?
