San Antonio will never happen as long as Jerry is alive.
But he is getting up there, ain't he.

Yeah not sure why more owners haven't looked at Portland, the city and surrounding regions count for over 2M population,...........and without even looking I can guarantee it's a more affluent market than most of the other cities being discussed.
The only thing I can think of is Paul Allen, THE richest owner in the league wouldn't want another team so close to Seattle cutting in on his jersey sales.

Have you seen the guy's haircut? I though he was auditioning for "dumb and dumber 6". 8)Marvin49":nlkgtswu said:Sgt. Largent":nlkgtswu said:Marvin49":nlkgtswu said:He was...but even at the end Al was 10 times more formidable than his son ever will be.
You guys have turned this into a "which Davis was better" argument, and I'm not saying that Mark is the same as Al.
I'm saying this is EXACTLY what Al would have done when he didn't get his way..............threaten to move and sue.
Well THATS true for sure....
...the difference being that Al would actually move and sue and that Mark can barely tie his own shoelaces.

Are you basing this on something solid, or is it simply speculation on your part?
Do you have some quote from Jerry or the NFL, that you can post?
According to Bleacher Report, Davis owns land in the San Antonio area where he could build a stadium.
McCombs said San Antonio has "several locations that would work" to build a stadium and he has 12 corporate sponsors lined up with "serious commitments." Now he has to convince Davis that moving his team to Texas is the right move for the franchise.
McCombs said he would be amenable to buying into the Raiders if that's what it would take to get the team to play in San Antonio.

The issue with Portland is not the population, but the lack of corporate sponsors. Nike, Intel, ????
What about Memorial Stadium in Berkerly.mrblitz":3pp4wvkh said:have them play in stanford stadium. maybe it only fits 40,000 but it's functional.
