General Manager Don Klosterman also said in an interview that the Colts, rumored to be contemplating a franchise move, had not sought such permission from the National Football League.

"We agree with Commmission- er Pete Rozelte" Klosterman said, "that a team should not move as long as it is supported and can operate in a reason able economic manner. 'But we also feel that no other owner or the commissioner can legislate a team into bankruptcy," For the first time in 10 years, the Colts scheduled preseason games at home last fall but averaged only 15,000 for contests against Kansas City, Chicago and Dallas. 'During the regular season our crowds have been excellent," Klosterman said, "but preseason, games are an important part of our over-all finan- might be prohibitive in the' minds of some people. But that's a course we'll have to consider." If the games are played elsewhere, Klosterman figured ticket prices would have to be hiked about $2 per game. The top ticket prices in Baltimore, believed to rank 14th in the NFL, were $10, $7 and $6, plus tax, last season.

Through the regular 1970 the Colts played before NFL record 51 straight sellouts. Klosterman also said it is -an extra financial burden to play six preseason games on the road, cilisg travel and living expenses. Despite the poor gates home exhibitions last fall, KIOs- terman said owner Carroll Rosenbloom paid the visiting teams "what ho considered! A fair amount for a normal turnout and it amounted to more than $250,000.".
