Apparently the Raiders are in talks to possibly move to San Antonio

Raiders owner Mark Davis (Al's son) was among three team executive who met with San Antonio officials earlier this month to discuss a possible franchise relocation, according to a report Tuesday by MySanAntonio.com. The Raiders' lease with the city of Oakland to play in O.co Coliseum expires following this season.
San Antonio already has a stadium built, though the 21-year old Alamodome would likely need significant upgrades before being ready to host an NFL team. Texas San-Antonio and the arena football San Antonio Talons play their home games in the building, which also hosts the annual Alamo Bowl.
Any proposed franchise move would need to pass an league-wide ownership vote, with 24 of 32 required for approval. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello largely declined comment about the Raiders possible moving to San Antonio.

San Antonio isn't getting an NFL team before LA

Buffalo to Ontario first

It is called "We want a new stadium"

with LA right down the road, wouldn't this be a total Raider thing to do though?

Leverage for contract negotiations. If they move, they are going to LA.

They'd keep the Latino market on lock.

Personally I want to see them move into Levi stadium along with the 49ers so we get to see pissed off 49er fans.

I would commit suicide.

I couldn't think of two more polar opposites between pro franchises in a city

San Antonio is a huge mule for team owners to use to get stadium deals in place.
Teams that threatened to move to San Antonio:
1. Red McComb's Minnesota Vikings
2. Post-Katrina New Orleans Saints
3. Florida Marlins
4. MLS promised a team in 2004 and backed out, and will probably do it in the near future.
ETA: Found a quote in the article.

In the NFL, the New Orleans Saints, the Minnesota Vikings, the Arizona Cardinals, the San Diego Chargers and others reached out to San Antonio either directly or through the media

The NFL doesn't need/want San Antonio.
Posted on 7/29/14 at 4:43 pm to LSUSoulja08
They still play on a baseball field, correct?

Why?

I would bury you with an iPhone.

There is NO WAY that Jerry Jones would allow this to happen.

No hurricanes in California to stop this move

Because we're a California team, specifically LA/Oakland, with a shitload of history there.
And more importantly the Raiders have $400 million ready to spend on a stadium if the poor fricking city of Oakland wasn't piss broke and could fork out even half that to get a new one built we'd be fine.
No chance this happens, was just saying how shitty it would be. Raiders will either be in Oakland or LA with a new stadium within the next 5-7 years.

SA isn't getting the NFL before LA. The Raiders are staying out west. Only two teams would possibly move, Jags and Rams.
