re: Rick Perry wants the Chargers to move to San Antonio

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.

Why would he have those rights? Isn't it closer to Houston?
And didn't Al Davis establish an NFL owner can move a team anywhere he wants?

The Austin-San Marcos-San Antonio metroplex can and would support an NFL team. I think MLB is more likely though.

So what's your point? Is it modern or not, it was built in the 90's, it's not that old. Are you comparing it to reliant stadium? It's right on par with the Georgia dome, and that is home to an NFL team.
