Perry has been trying to piss off California for a while now. This is just another step in that plan.

If the Chargers move, it will be to L.A., not to San Antonio. Personally, I think they should stay in San Diego and the Jacksonville Jaguars should move to L.A., but that's me.

Rick Perry should research San Antonio's sports market before he runs his mouth, but then again we're talking about Rick Perry.

The Alamodome would have to be leveled and rebuilt. It was built in the 1990s just prior to the modern stadium boom and lacks in modern amenities necessary for an NFL franchise.

San Antonio may also be a massive and continuously growing city (7th in population), but is a horrible TV Market given its size. The city keeps expanding, but there aren't many large suburbs surrounding the area.

As someone above stated, the Cowboys have a huge market share in the San Antonio. The city ranks second highest in TV viewership of Cowboys games. That's a massive loss if Jerry loses the geographical TV rights to a new franchise.
