Both cities are and likely will continue to be among the fastest growing in the country. Central Texas could absolutely support an NFL team...and we really like football here in Texas.

Hard to believe SA might get an NFL franchise before LA

not enough big business to support an NFL team in San Antonio.

Not sure about that. I live in Austin and the Cowboys and Longhorns rule here.

If you build it, they will come. an NFL franchise is the symbol of arrival...

If you built the new stadium North of town between Austin and SA.

Actually, SA is only one of several locations they are considering.

Yes, but San Antonio is in football-crazy Texas. That makes a huge difference.

Hard to believe that LA still doesn't have an NFL team

You absolutely couldn't rebrand the Raiders. It's iconic.
