Again, no established pro league is going to put a team in Vegas any time soon.


After the current ruling of no sports betting in Delaware, the answer isn't any time soon, but NEVER.

Realistically speaking, I'd say San Antonio. The media market is huge. However, the untapped south Texas area is busting at the seems in the Rio Grande Valley and Austin in the CenTex area is doing the same. This would probably not effect Jerry Jones' Boys' one bit, and nobody REALLY gives two shits about the Texans.

The Alamodome is already fit to be used. Some renovations to add luxury boxes would probably need to be done, but not much else. Granted, it would lack the amenities of the newer stadiums, it is located right next to downtown SA, enetertainment could be built right outside the stadium near the train station, etc. It seats around 65K, so that might need some work.

Either way, economically speaking, it sounds like a pretty good plan.

The mexicans would want the name to be spanish, so frick it. Go with the USFL throwback and call them the Gunslingers. Because we know that name would certainly fly in the politically correct-America.

Outlaws has already been mentioned, but would be okay. Drillers....Oilers...etc.

I like the Black and Red scheme as well.
