We have a winner.
Where did you see that?
We have a winner.
If my one lottery ticket hits I'll buy the team and move them to SA. I'll build the stadium in San Marcos or New Braunfels.
Math skillz. This guy has them
How many $B in bonds + interest are you people willing to pay to build an NFL stadium?
970 million according to Forbes.
he has significant influence to get other owners to vote however he wants
what? the value of the raiders? what about the cost of the stadium? And the fact that you would never even sniff 970 mil of the 1.3mil (or 1.5 mil as the local news is showing it)
Have you ever been to Oakland? San Antonio has more to offer.
Isnt he the head of NFL expansion & relocation commity?
I think thats why he tried givin $100 mil to Davis but to build a new stadium or in backend inglewood
Isnt Oakland goin bankrupt?
He made it up, couldn't find one mention of that being the case.
Even if he won. I don't think he understands taxes.
So you think they want to make the same misktake twice? For a slightly better place?
people who don't understand probability trying to give me a lesson about taxes based on a throwaway comment.
If you did buy them and move them here, then I might bring myself to support them. Otherwise, the question for me is: Why would SA want a scuzzy organization like the Raiders and a scuzzy owner like Mark Davis to come here? We already have the only Silver and Black that counts. All the Raiders could do is sully that.
You understand probability, so I feel safe in making my statement.
Some good stuff here. Worth a listen.
Basically says we have 12 corporate sponsors, several sites to choose from, investors if needed and see ready to go in "48 hours" if he wanted to bring the team over. All that's left is convincing Mark to come.
I'd much rather the Raiders go to SA than try and compete in the L.A. market with the Rams. Thankfully, it seems that the NFL would prefer they stay out of SoCal, too, pending what the Chargers do (please also stay put).
hopefully the chargers leave san diego. don't care where, but they shouldn't let the door hit them on the way out.
That city definitely doesn't deserve to be jerked around by that franchise, but the only way I see them leaving is if it's to L.A. and I don't know anyone here who wants that organization around.
There's leverage you can add to the equation plus minority owners, but the lotto kind of money is more NHL franchise type cash or the lowest priced NBA teams. Don't forget to pay your wife on the divorce when she slams the door in your face when you burn all that lotto money on a sports team (see Frank McCourt).
On the Niners/Raiders in Santa Clara, it's amazing that they didn't sufficiently market test the location and transit preferences. East Coast folks are fine with mass transit. The rest of the country scoffs at the idea.
Report: Raiders have already secured land in San Antonio for potential move
The Raiders would reportedly play in the Alamo Bowl while a stadium between Austin and San Antonio is constructed.

Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis missed out on Los Angeles, but that doesn't mean he'll return his team to Oakland.
They're playing without a lease in 2016 -- and the city of San Antonio could provide a soft landing for the Silver and Black.
Via Bleacher Report's Jason Cole:
Davis has plenty of reasons to drop his team right between San Antonio and Austin. The two cities would offer his team over 2.3 million football-hungry sports fans. His players would enjoy a state without income taxes.
Lastly, if he's anything like his father, Davis enjoys a little payback. He'd serve some up by becoming an instate compe or to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who led the charge to exclude the Raiders from L.A.relocation .

I don't know too much about football at all but if someone tried to over my business, you can bet yo ass I'm coming for that payback.
SA bound. I called it here. Bookmark.
yeah, i'm starting to think SA is the most likely outcome tbh
granted, there is a LOOOONG way to go before anything is actually hammered out, but there's been no movement in oakland for 4+ years now, and i doubt they're going to get anything done in SD either
