Not likely, the Colts haven't won since 1971. They acted more civilized back then. Well sports fans did anyway, in general.

That would have been in Baltimore.
The only people who brawl in Indiana, among other fun things, are the Indiana Pacers. Another altercation in an, um, club last night. Way to go Pacers, really upholding our fine Midwestern values.

somebody did it
Maybe it was the Steelers then, I just remember, and this was in the early 70's, that there was a full scale riot after someone won an early superbowl. It stuck in my memory at the time because it seemed so unusual due to the fact that US football fans seem very well-behaved by international standards due to the inverse correlation between 'violence' on the field and the behaviour of the fans. Ergo, soccer fans are the most tribal and degenerately brutal, because there are so many restrictions on physical contact on the field. Too bad there aren't some rules about outright cheating and just generally being a prancing bitch as well, but I'll stop there before I get excited. I once had a job at Wembley Stadium as a cleaner, and let me tell you from personal experience, I would rather have cleaned up at the zoo than after a soccer match.
Someone out there must know their Superbowl history.
