Will Austin, Texas ever get a major sports team for one of the three major sports?

You answered your own question. /thread

Hopefully not an expansion team. We already have too many teams in the pro leagues.

UT would block an NFL or even an NBA team. NHL would be cool but there’s basically no hockey culture there whatsoever. I guess you could put an MLB team up in like Georgetown?

MLS is pretty much all ATX will get in the foreseeable future

Astros or Rangers for that matter would be against it.

MLS is the only team I could see.

there was talk about potential MLB expansion. but mlb attendance is shitty enough outside a few historic teams. when the astros sink back down the fans will drop to 10 years ago levels

too close to the spurs. already 3 texas teams.
jerry jones will block any expansion that cuts into the dallas media market.

off 130 in southeast austin near the cota track

A) You have Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio in the region with major sports teams, and all three are larger metro areas than Austin.

B) UT



Maybe if the AAF takes off they could have a team in Austin, but again there is already one in San Antonio.

isnt tOSU the reason Columbus doesn't have anything major? If so, I feel like this is the same case with Austin

s it because of teams already being in nearby Houston and Dallas?

Dude it's fricking 2.5 hours from Houston to Austin and 3 hours! to Dallas from Austin. You have teams in NY next to each other and teams just across the Bay in California.

I know those distances don't mean shite for people in wasteland Texas and Desert California but for other people that's like driving across your entire State.
