I Apologize for the City of San Antonio

[timvp]

Dear New Orleans,

Once upon a time we tried to steal the Saints from your city. In retrospect, that was a weak move to try to loot your city while you were down. You deserve the Saints. The Saints are New Orleans and New Orleans is the Saints.

Sincerely,

San Antonio

[ShoogarBear]

You can keep Tom Benson, though.

[redzero]

Damn straight, son.

Hey, if it wasn't for the league buying Tom Benson with $25 million of NFL welfare, they would be here already.

[vander]

Is SA still looking for a team? have they considered the Chargers?

[marini martini]

Is that the SA Tom Benson, the car dealer???

[timvp]

Is SA still looking for a team? have they considered the Chargers?

No thx.

[monosylab1k]

No thx.

You might wanna rethink that. LaDirkian won't be there next season, they might actually have a shot.

gosh timvp when are you ever going to learn to just not be timvp in football situations


this ain't no SA prep school candy land

[BSofA04]

timvp, you have no balls.

Signed,
Everyone in San Antonio

So, don't ever speak for us, ever.

Speak for yourself. San Antonio would have been a terrific spot for the Saints. If you feel like apologizing for something apologize to the citizens of San Antonio who would have enjoyed NFL football since 2006.

[timvp]

As we've seen since then, San Antonio can hardly support the Spurs despite ungodly success. Getting an NFL would kill the Spurs.

New Orleans deserves the Saints. San Antonio needs to support its one pony before trying to spread its wings.

It doesn't matter anyways since Jerry Jones will never let San Antonio get a team, while San Antonians blindly support said owner.

So, 63,000 average attendance for a team no one cared about 6 months before Katrina matters nothing to you? BTW, we did that in less than 3 months marketing.

The Spurs are a different story. 41 homes games vs. TEN? That's 2 preseason and 8 regular season small fry. Numbers favor San Antonio. So....I don't understand your stance because you forget the facts of what went down.

[timvp]

So, 63,000 average attendance for a team no one cared about 6 months before Katrina matters nothing to you? No. If championship caliber basketball can't draw fans after the initial excitement phase, eventually the NFL team would struggle as well.

So....I don't understand your stance because you forget the facts of what went down.San Antonio could support the NBA or the NFL. Not both. There's a reason why the Spurs have fought against the NFL coming to San Antonio. I didn't understand how right they were until I saw the number of empty seats this season. If there was an NFL team fighting for money from fans and sponsors, it'd be ugly for the Spurs.

You are truly misguided my friend. How is it that New Orleans, with less than half the population of the San Antonio area, is able to successfully support the Saints and the Hornets? Is there some kind of special mojo in that New Orleans gumbo that makes that little town better able to do that then San Antonio? It is ridiculous to even contemplate. San Antonio would be a natural spot for an NFL team and the league knows it.

Bashing the town and blaming everyone from Jerry Jones to the Spurs only demonstrates that you don't have any legitimate reasons why San Antonio could not support one more pro franchise. This area is more than, and has been for awhile, capable of supporting multiple franchises. This fact will will become apparent as the NFL moves in and eventually MLB as well.

Maybe because they care a little more about sports and a little less about enchiladas.

That's a pretty lame comment mono. Unless you were actually attempting to come off sounding stupid. If you were you did a great job.

And I would say the jury's out on whether New Orleans will support the Hornets long-term.

[timvp]

Um, the state of Louisiana gave the Saints a balloon payment followed by ~$25 million a year to keep the Saints in town. The NFL also gave the Saints money. There's no way Texas would pay for upgrading the Alamodome and then give the team a quarter of a billion dollars each decade.

On top of that, when it comes to corporate sponsors, the gulf coast region > San Antonio. That is especially true after the billions of dollars that were pumped into the area.

Plus, it's not like the Hornets are on stable ground. There's a real chance they eventually move.


San Antonio would be a natural spot for an NFL team and the league knows it.Jerry Jones would never allow it to happen. He knows San Antonio is Cowboy country.


Bashing the town and blaming everyone from Jerry Jones to the Spurs only demonstrates that you don't have any legitimate reasons why San Antonio could not support one more pro franchise.It's not bashing the town. It's not my fault the Spurs are scrambling for corporate sponsors and getting desperate in an attempt to fill the arena. Again, if the Spurs -- who have put a quality product on the court for more than two decades -- can't easily thrive in this market, what is there to suggest others can?


This area is more than, and has been for awhile, capable of supporting multiple franchises. This fact will will become apparent as the NFL moves in and eventually MLB as well.Yeah, we'll see. I don't see an NFL or MLB team coming here any time soon. The time waiting will be counted in decades, not years.

New Orleans really isn't supporting the Hornets; they're barely averaging 80% of capacity at their games and are 24th out of 30 in attendance (link: http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/NOH/2010.html)

FIFY.

The fact that the league gave, what, $31 million to Benson tells you how much they wanted a team in San Antonio.

that.

It's the NFL, not JJ in particular, that has no interest in a team moving to SA.

About 2/3 of the NFL's entire revenue comes from TV contracts. There's no extra bargaining power by putting a team in SA where all the TVs are already on on Sundays.

It's why the NFL keeps begging for someone to step up in the LA market with their 6 million TV sets.
