I was having trouble finding good articles on the Baltimore Sun database on Langsdale, because years are still missing. Instead I searched the New York Times historical database and found some interesting articles.
There was an article, "Colts to Stay, For Now", that appeared in the New York Times on March 3, 1984, 26 days before the Colts left Baltimore. This article talks about the meeting Irsay had on March 2nd in which he assured people that the Colts would stay in Baltimore for now. At the end of the article the reporter mentions that Indianapolis has a good chance of having the Colts move there since they just built a new domed 61,000 seat stadium. This helps to confirm that one of the main reason for the Colts move was the desire for a better stadium.
