View Full Version : Rick Perry would love to bring the Chargers to San Antonio

When the issue of relocating the Chargers from San Diego arises, the two-word city that always gets mentioned is the city where the franchise was founded: Los Angeles.
But if the Bolts decided to bolt their current home, the Governor of Texas would be interested in having them swap the “Diego” for “Antonio.”
Rick Perry recently addressed with U-T San Diegothe possibility of the Chargers moving to the Alamodome.
“You’d have to ask the Spanos family (http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/feb/13/Chargers-NFL-Stadium-alamodome-perry-Texas/),” Perry said. “Dean is a good friend and I would be lying if I didn’t tell you, come to Texas and we would love to have their athletic club there. But there’s a family whose been there forever. If it gets so difficult for them to be able to operate, that’s always an option, but again you’d have to ask them. I have no indication that the Chargers are going to be coming to Texas anytime soon.”
The Chargers have an annual window within which they can break their lease at Qualcomm Stadium, for a price that drops every year. The Chargers already have informed San Diego that they won’t be leaving in 2013.But the suitability of the stadium coupled with an inability to sell all of the tickets to the team’s home games has made San Diego a challenging venue.

NFL will NEVER happen in San Antonio. First of all this is Cowboy country, the fans won't get behind anyhone else and Jerry Jones ain't gonna let any dollars go into some other owners pocket. Secondly, you saw what happens whenSan Antonio big wigs try a snag a NFL franchise, they build a million dollar stadium that is obsolete 3 days before it opens. Plus being a KC fan, I don't want any division rival calling SA 'home.'

I honestly can't wait until they just nuke that thing. Blow it all up then airlift the ATT center out of ghettoville to the spot of the 'dome.

But no, won't happen. Instead, we get yearly news reports about some dumbfuckistan people wanting to renovate it to NFL standards then have our shitstain city leaders cry about it being expensive. So it sits, hosting 5k people for a UTSA game, 50 people for a high school game, and the occasional christian gathering. And people actually think this city is aces :lol

The dome is in ghettoville too. In fact, that whole downtown area is ghetto.

Fuck it, San Antonio is just ghetto period. It doesn't even matter where the stadiums go.

They should've built it somewhere north. The obvious building trend of the city is north so that's where anything new should go. Go to 1604 on the northside and it's fucking packed with everything. Go to lol 410 on the southside and it's fields and dying grass.

Even if we built it, the NFL still wouldn't come.

It would simply be used as leverage for teams like SD, Jacksonville, NO, etc to make more stadium demands, per the usual.

Alamodome isnt going anywhere tbh. UTSA is on the rise and will be a good partner for the Dome, the only thing holding UTSA back from selling it out consistently is dumbfucks like you that think its small time for a start up program to not immediately jump into the Big 12/SEC. UTSAs ascent to FBS has been historic, from the attendance records to the time it took to move up from FCS. And the Dome would be a Top 5 stadium in just about every conference.

Dont think the Dome is capable of hosting an NFL team though. It turns 20 years old this year and is not up to NFL standards, its only purpose would be as a temporary home until a stadium gets built...cause I dont think the people of San Antonio will get burned again and vote for a stadium before a team is already in place.
