They really love football in Texas. They eat, sleep, drink, and breath it.

I agree with BarraCouga. San Antonio and Austin could easily support a NFL team. The Cowboys and the Texans might not like it, but there is plenty of football love to go around in the Lone Star State. And Central Texas is growing like a wildfire.

Didn't California once support four NFL teams at one point: the Rams, Raiders, Giants, and the Chargers?

Raiders supposedly in talks to move to San Antonio, while the A's just agreed to

Hard to believe SA might get an NFL franchise before LA

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

Plus they would be competing with the Cowboys and Texans for fans

If they could capture San Antonio and Austin, they would be just fine for fans..

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...

You may be right, I'm certainly not an expert. I just don't see all the die hard

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

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

As a Raiders fan I approve this! SA is just a couple hours away!!

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

Hate the Raiders brand? That's their whole schtick! That's blasphemy!!

7/30/14 8:41am

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