The Raiders should move to San Antonio for three major reasons




The Oakland Raiders should "Remember the Alamo" when choosing a new home city. San Antonio could offer it all.

The city of San Antonio has made no secret of their desire to land an NFL franchise.
Now, the Oakland Raiders are available. A move to South Texas might offer them the long-term stadium solution they couldn't find in Los Angeles or Oakland.

Here are three major reasons why owner Mark Davis will heavily weigh his options and move to the Lone Star State:

1. San Antonio has a built-in stadium: The Rams and Chargers can move to Los Angeles tomorrow; they've got the Rose Bowl and the Coliseum to claim as temporary homes. San Antonio has a similar solution for Davis' team in the aging, but useful Alamodome. That stadium was good enough to house the Katrina-displaced Saints in 2005; it can keep the Raiders satisfied until a new home is built.

2. He gets two huge markets for the price of one: Davis' Los Angeles pitch hinged upon the steadfast loyalty of his Northern California fan base. That two-pronged approach is exactly what'll help his team prosper in Texas. The relocated Raiders should attract fans from San Antonio and nearby Austin -- the seventh and 11th-most populous American cities, respectively.

3. It lets him dig at Jerry Jones: The quirky Cowboys owner led the charge to exclude the Raiders from Los Angeles earlier this week. Davis, the son of a notorious revenge-seeking owner, won't sit quietly in Oakland when he can move his team into Jones' backyard . Be careful what you wish for, Jerry.

Plus Silver and Black matches w/ Spurs. It would be awesome to get a team on its way up, but I have to think this longshot won't happen.

Probably not, but it's fun to talk about.

I think SA is the most likely outcome eventually but not necessarily by 2016

I'd be shocked if they play anywhere other than Oakland this season. Even if it is on just another a one year lease.

Can the Spurs group buy the Raiders? I'd support them in SA but they need some changes.

Mark Davis doesn't want to sell the team. He's had plenty of offers, including from Red McCombs, but he won't budge.

I doubt Spanos moves this season. So, Davis will have this season in Oaktown to see how things shake out. He has his fingers crossed that San Diego buckles to the NFL-sanctioned opportunity afforded the Chargers to move to LA, and Spanos will decide to remain in San Diego.

Tbh, Jerry Jones' plan was a master stroke for the league. Grant the lone NFC contender the right to relocate and wait to see which AFC team elects to move. Thus, LA is guaranteed both an NFC and an AFC team.

Butt Stadium (thanks HEB)

There is no TV Market Problem. All teams share equally the TV Revenue from the NFL. There are over 5 mil people in South Texas, not including the Mexican stations the NFL could pickup. In any case, since a team is moving from the central time zone, the NFL would more than likely want to put one back in it.

Yes they share equally. Some markets generate much more revenue than others. A team would be moving from the #6 market to #37. Less money in the kitty. Could be a problem.

Well that sucks.

I hardly doubt the Raiders stay in Oakland. The cost of a new stadium is too steep and with the A's going out on their own and building their own complex, that basically killed any chance the Raiders staying.

SD maybe an option. But, does the NFL really want 3 teams just 2 hours apart. A lot of the Charger fanbase are still going to be Charger fans. Plus, the biggest fallback is just the cost of a new stadium. It will likely cost 500 mil more to build one in SD than SA, and even more to build one in Oakland. With the recent Profits of the Raiders, that means its would take them about 15+ years just to recoup THAT COST.

So that is why SD couldn't find any investors to close the gap on a new stadium.

SA has pledges from 12 corp sponsors and SSE and McCombs already said they would invest 300-400 mil in a new stadiium, at least that were the reports from when they courted the Raiders previously. SACC said the city could raise another 300 mil from Bonds and Taxes. Just another 200 mil from the 12 other corporate sponsors and you have enough to build your stadium.

From a financial standpoint, Davis isn't going to get a better offer. Only LA provided that. As McCombs said, it really just about Davis wanting to move to SA as he said there isn't a better deal on the table for him by far at this point.
