    Davis is now using the city to leverage a new stadium in Oakland, just heard on KSAT-TV News.
    They are continuing to monitor the story.
    Will keep you posted.

    If you need a link, here it is:

    http://m.mysanantonio.com/sports/pro...to-5654812.php

    On July 18, Davis met with the officials, including Henry Cisneros, then-Mayor Julián Castro, City Manager Sheryl Sculley, Mario Hernandez of the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation, and both Richard Perez and David McGee, the president and chairman of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, respectively.

    San Antonio has often been used as a bargaining chip for pro sports franchises trying to negotiate better deals in their own respective cities, but sources have characterized Davis' interest in San Antonio to be at least somewhat more serious. He is clearly perturbed with his current situation in Oakland, where the team's lease expires after the 2014-15 season.

    Cisneros, who led the charge to build the Alamodome when he was mayor, has been described by sources as the architect of the meeting.

    Davis and his associates reportedly spent two or three days here, visiting the Alamodome and other places. They also took an aerial tour of the city in a helicopter, arranged by developer Marty Wender.

    This thread should be merged with the other one, or deleted IMHO.

    Not sure about that. The Saints sold that out while they were here.

    Yes but only because the alamodome accepted EBT cards. Won't work this time around fwiw.

    Was referring to the negativity towards a possible relocation of OAK, not the hate on SA.

    I personally would never switch allegiances. It would be my avenue to see the Cowboys in person on the inevitable Sunday Night Football opener, and hopefully once a year.

    “I thought it was somebody joking with me when they came out about them going to San [Antonio]. So I don’t have any comment other than how valued I feel and the Cowboys feel about our fans in San Antonio,” Jones said. “I am very pleased that we have the fan base that we have down there and the percentage of fans that we have; I think it is 97, 98, 99 percent Cowboys fans in that area…It would be difficult for [the Raiders] to make headway. I’ll make sure of that. That would be very difficult.”

    I don't think he is scared in the slightest tbh, he could probably easily convince enough owners to block it.

    Teams with bad stadium situations are a drain on the league. If San Antonio theoretically was the only city with an actual agreement to provide a state of the art facility, it's bad business to block it. Outside the cowboys and Texas I don't see any reason to block it

    Bad business for Jerruh not to block it too He makes terrible football decisions, but you can't say he makes many bad business decisions. I'm sure the Texans wouldn't be happy about their TV coverage in TX being cut in half either.
