the raiders-chargers game is the closest thing i get to a local game every year. if the chargers bolt for SA, the raiders better come down to LA
Keep dreaming, tbh.... if the Chargers move away from San Diego (which is pretty likely), they'll be LA bound, imho....
Give LA the Rams back...St. Louis doesn't need an NFL team.
That team has a bright future--too bad it is in the same division as the Seahawks and 49ers...and Cards...
In today's NFL you can't say a team's future is bright till they've found their QB. Bradford has been good when he's played, but he's so frail and can't stay on the field.
That is true--they have a top 5 pick coming up and there's an interesting article about them on Grantland, which, has a great scenario for them to take the next leap.
I'm surprised that got Buddy Holly didn't post this article first
I hope they take that team away from that hole. That entire area along with the Bay Area should be cleansed via earthquake or tsunami.
Acee talks like he wantz da fuk outta SD tbh
Acee is just a mouthpiece for the Chargers, so you can tell through his comments that the Spanos family is pissed about Chargerfan not rewarding the mediocrity they've fielded over most of their time as owners with an expensive new stadiumAcee talks like he wantz da fuk outta SD tbh
theyll be the best football team in Texas
does perry's buddy still need a new stadium?
Especially Clipper Nation
If we couldn't loot the Saints after their building got turned into the nastiest housing project in the nation how are we supposed to land a team from a quality city?
the nfl tbh
They wouldn't move to the Modome without promises of millions of dollars of upgrades or a totally new stadium. That place is already obsolete by NFL standards.
crofl at LA's still not able to get its together.
Yeah the whole L.A sit is hilarity...
There was no possible way that would have happened. Right after Katrina, move the team somewhere else? You would have had even more people wading through 6 feet of water to steal Jordans. Would have been a big PR issue for Red McCombs.

The league put the kibosh on the Saints move before things got too far along. There is no way they would have let NOLA get kicked while it was down.
son don't forget the fact that San Antonio didn't come out and support the NFL games there either. they didn't come close to selling out any of the three games...
Alamodome maximum capacity for American football -72,000
Game 1 Attendance - 58,688
Game 2 Attendance - 65,562
Game 3 Attendance - 63,747
regardless of Katrina or not New Orleans would never lose the Saints. even in the ty years the fan support has been strong. the year before Katrina when the Saints were a ty 7-9 team they sold out all but one of their home games. nowadays since 2006 the dome has been expanded twice for extra seating (up to 72,000ish now), season tickets literally sellout the entire dome, and the waiting list for season tickets is over 60,000 deep.
oh and to add to the above ...
personally I think that San Antonio deserves a MLS team before anything else. that city loves soccer and MLS would certainly thrive there.
aside from that, San Antonio needs to worry about getting the second market demand for Spurs tickets higher than .50-.75 cents before they get serious about bringing in a NFL franchise.
No reason to go to it's full capacity, your number is misleading.
And yes, winning sells tickets.
Good for the Saints, and good for Tom Benson -- he stands to make almost half a billion from the state of Louisiana over the life of his lease on top of his regular profits.
Not so great for the people of the state, really, but you guys wanted to keep the NFL.
