San Antonio Raiders?

[NinerSickness]

The more I hear people talk about this on the Radio the more they're convincing me that the Raiders are spending their last season in Oakland. I think a move might be likely if not very possible. They just can't sell enough tickets in Oakland, and they're certainly not selling luxury boxes.

The rare occasion they don't get arrested is the "luxury."

Raider fans are just people that want to dress up like it's Halloween every Sunday.

Come on down, Angel... There's more room on the darkside...

My husband, who's not a football fan, said that.

"Raider fans are only Raiders fans so they can dress up like it's Halloween every Sunday".

Damned near laughed myself off the couch. I had to redo a few stictches on the blanket I'm making.

So what does he do when you watch the Steelers in the winter? Shovel snow? Head to Best Buy? Sports role reversal. Since he's not a football fan, there's room for another Oakland Raider Halloween fan...

Obviously not a Pen fan, but i'll toss you a Raider bone with this Lemieux top 10 goals tube. Mario was a bad @$$... Love puck...

Take the Raiders and move them to London as Goodell is looking to get a team there. The owner will fit right in there.

Even I gotta laugh at that one...

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

Yea, I was asking a question, not making a statement.

So I get this survey in my email about a week ago from the Raiders and the city of San Antonio. They split the cost of the survey I guess. Also, apparently the Raiders have sent some of their people to several UTSA college football games at Alamodome this year. At first, I was sure that they were just using San Antonio, but now I'm not so sure. Lots of smoke that just seems to be getting thicker.

Raiders, San Antonio surveying fan interest on move to Alamo City

New signs suggest the Oakland Raiders are seriously considering relocating to South Texas.

The latest development comes as both the team and city split the cost for a survey to gauge the interest of residents of the San Antonio area on how they would welcome the team.

The survey was sent to 50,000 people who have attended the Alamodome and ask questions like, what people would pay for tickets, or if they would even support the Raiders.

It's a hot topic that has given ESPN San Antonio radio hosts Jason Minnix' and Dat Nguyen plenty to talk about.

"The people really have a big say in where this goes, I mean if this survey comes back and they're all negative, what does this say for the raiders?" said Minnix.

Minnix said San Antonio's media market might not be able to support an NFL team, but with support of Austin, the move makes more financial sense.

Mike Sawaya, director of Convention, Sports, and Entertainment Facilities for the city of San Antonio told Eyewitness news, next week Austin residents should be getting the survey.

"San Antonio by itself eh, but you add in the I-35 corridor and that makes us a great, great viable spot for the NFL in my opinion," said Minnix.
After playing 7 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, Nguyen knows Texas breeds passionate NFL fans.

"I had some friends that played in San Antonio during the Katrina time, the New Orleans Saints came here and they were here for a few months and they said it was one of the best places they played," said Nguyen.

Nguyen told Eyewitness News he has a "funny gut feeling" the Raiders are coming to San Antonio because of everything that's unfolded so far. Sawaya said the results of the survey won't be available until November at the earliest.

Great, the first NFL stadium built of adobe. Fermented cactus juice and campfire roasted buzzard on a stick.

Bet the punter won't be hitting any scoreboards any time soon though.

I think San Antonio would fully support an NFL team. They would certainly have a more enthused crowd than Dallas. I would like to see the Raiders move to San Antonio. You already have the Santa Clara niners in the Bay Area.

Raiders need to move back to L. fucking A.

Los Angeles fans don't want the Raiders. Let them stay in Oakland where they belong.

Good gawd, I hope not!

Report: Raiders could move to San Antonio | ProFootballTalk
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.

Nothing will change...TX is a Cowboy market pretty much everywhere but HOU...if the Raiders did move to SA...I wouldn't be surprised if JJ allowed it under the premise that it would be a dual TV market...meaning every DAL game is still on TV.
