Report: Raiders could move to San Antonio

Posted by Mike Florio on July 29, 2014, 6:03 PM EDT

APRaiders owner Mark Davis doesn’t make threats. He makes plans.
With the Raiders on a one-year lease at O.co Coliseum and with the A’s possibly getting a 10-year lease that would complicate efforts to tear the Cow (Pie) Palace down and build a new venue on the same site, Davis is exploring options in a state that already has a pair of NFL teams.
According to the San Antonio Express-News, Davis and a pair of “top lieutenants” recently met with San Antonio officials to talk about a move of the Raiders.
Per the report, the meeting began on July 18, with Davis and company touring the Alamodome and other locations during a two-to-three day visit.
If a move happens, the Alamodome likely would be the temporary home until a new stadium is built.
“We don’t have any information about it, so there is no reason for us to comment,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the Express-News on Tuesday. “We have received no applications from any of our teams to relocate at this point, so there is nothing for us to respond to.”
The window for filing an application to relocate opens after the season, and it’s possible that Davis will make an application to move somewhere/anywhere absent a tangible plan to build a new home for the Raiders in the Bay Area.

I think Jerry Jones will use everything in his power to block this if it were true.

That's a Cowboy market and JJ will not take kindly to someone trying to nudge their way into his market.

This is barely fathomable to think of the Raiders leaving the west coast. Would be strange as can be for me, personally.

San Antonio would be the 1st city to have 5 Championships in 2 sports. Raiders will get a couple in the next decade. Why not go back to LA?

So will Bob McNair... He'll want to keep his 25% of that market intact as well.

This is just the Raiders bluffing in order to force Oakland's hand.

Normally... I would agree.

But San Antonio has been insistent for the last several years that they will not entertain the possibility of any team moving there unless it was an absolutely serious discussion.

I don't think they're bluffing. They want out of Oakland.

Why would anybody want to move to Texas ?

Ask that flood of illegal aliens crossing the border.


Beats me.

Lots of Cowboys fans down there. Will never happen.

Why is it the Raiders are looking for a home again? I thought Raiders fans were so loyal. Do they just bumpt heir gums and not show up for games? I've also been saying for years that the Jags should move to San Antonio. They certainly need to get out of Jax

Nothing to do with the fans in Oakland. The stadium is a dump.

You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

I'll be shocked if they even make an attempt to do so.

Raiders need to move back to L. fucking A.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

THAT'S the day I sever all ties with Al's organization.

 

[TxHeat]

Raiders need to move back to L. fucking A.

but if some team actually does move to L.A., about a half dozen teams will lose their leverage to hold their cities hostage.
