    Just reported on KSAT-TV sports news, they are giving Oakland an ultimatum that they will move to San Antonio and play in the Alamodome if they do not build a new stadium.
    Sounds like San Antonio is being used as leverage again like the Marlins did.

    Bud Selig told the A's that they can move anytime they want...Note to Nelson Wolf and your quest with baseball to San Antonio.
    I will not sit in a open air stadium in August with sweat pouring off of me to see any baseball game.....

    Don't blame you.
    Alamodome was mentioned.

    The left field wall for the Rangers-Astros games was really short, like in the 200-250 ft range. Unless the Dome has room to change up the dimensions I dont see how they would work for an entire MLB season tbh.

    It's why my last trip to see the Rangers at the Ballpark will be my last trip to the Ballpark

    That's what many say.
    But we may get the chance to find out.
    It is between us and Montreal.

    We could support a Football team better than a baseball team. We will never get a chance to do it as
    long as Jerry is around.........He thinks of San Antonio as his plantation fans....

    This is very true, and the principal reason the Saints are not in San Antonio, not the PR nightmare of leaving N.O. as the commissioner claimed IMHO.
    We could easily support a MLB team IMHO. This is a bigger baseball town than meets the eye.

    I'd be fully on board with MLB in south Texas but don't like having to take an established ball club like the athletics to do so.

    We'd have the baseball version of the Sonics.

    There is no question that San Antonio could support not only MLB but also the NFL, and especially so if you add Austin and Corpus Christi in the mix IMHO.

    As usual, it looks like it isn't going to happen for San Antonio yet.

    I think San Antonio would do well with the NFL, but not baseball. Alot of cities which do well with the NFL and the NBA would fail or are failing in MLB.

    San Antonio has always been a huge baseball town ever since my grandfathers' time at old Mission stadium.
    Even County Judge Nelson Wolfe agrees with this.

    I can't picture 30,000 people showing up to 81 games a season here for a team that won't be able to ever keep any stars it develops.

    If my town wasn't a big market- and San Antonio really isn't- I wouldn't want any part of MLB. Unless you're one of the very few markets that can support a big payroll it's frustrating knowing that, no matter how good your organization is, you're not much more than a glorified farm team for the Yankees/Dodgers/Red Sox etc.

    I agree. San Antonio is a poor market for the MLB just for the reasons that you and Baseline Bum posted. I wouldn't want to see New Orleans having a MLB team. I would have no interest. I live closer to Houston now and I think its a fine baseball city, but the contracts in this sport are just ridiculous, especially the length.

    I would not go to a San Antonio home game in July or August in a open air baseball field to see a game.
    Tell Nelson Wolf that.

    I know exactly what you're saying.
    But as a kid, I used to do just that at the old Mission stadium.
