OT: Raiders to San Antonio? 

Post#1 » by Mr. E » Fri Aug 1, 2014 4:13 pm

What is the thought on this topic that popped up this week?

Personally, I think that the Raiders are just using San Antonio as a stalking horse in order to get a deal done with Oakland. If they don't get a deal done then I think that there will be a lot of pressure from the NFL to move to Los Angeles - even if they don't have their act together yet.

Personally, I would have thought that Austin was a more attractive destination target at this point, but there is no doubt in my mind that San Antonio would be able to support an NFL franchise. They would have to renovate the Alamodome to add more luxury suites, but from people I've talked to over there it sounds like the city would support such measures.

It baffles me that la never could support the raiders if they leave Oakland again

It would be cool to have another Texas team to root against though...they'll probably try to hire pop as head coach or at least offensive coordinator haha

Return to Houston Texans
