So my team might move to Texas..(NFL)
From ESPN.com:

:\ LA doesn't want a team and it seems the NFL are trying to force one down their throats.. They didn't fight to keep either team they've had in the past.. Cali already has 3 teams and Texas has 2.. It's be ridiculas to add a team in either state.. I believe it's all a bluff on Benson's part to get Louisiana to renovate the Dome.. I hope we don't lose them.. :cry: Who Dat?!? |

Benson started the threats during the last offseason.. He's trying to use the thought of them leaving to get LA to build a new dome.. Plans were even released for one with a retratable roof (ala Dallas) built right on the river, near the French Quarter.. Which would rule, but prolly won't happen..

I think San Antonio would be a good place for a football team personally. I'm not a fan of the city or anything, but from what I know with the Spurs, they support their teams real well and the major Texas colleges are elsewhere (UT=Austin, A&M=College Station, Tech=Lubbock, Baylor=Waco, TCU=not San Antonio) so I think it would get good fan support.
If you move a team to LA, you will probably sell a lot of expensive tickets, but you just don't get the same energy and following that Texas does. |

God what is wrong with the city of New Orleans. They dont wanna compromise. Next thing they'll want is for the Saints to actually play football.

It seems like New Orleans would be a good place for sports franchises based on the amount of great athletes that come out of the state and the collegiate success there too, but I guess they are more just a college state. I wish the Hornets would move out of there and into Kansas City or St. Louis. Both cities deserve basketball and already have NBA-level facilities.

Also, what is up with the Alamo Dome? Why is it even there? As far as I know the only team to ever play there was the Spurs...and they are a basketball team?! Did/does some random football team play there, I don't know of any D-1A school in San Antonio and don't recall an NFL team ever being there either.

They play the US Army All-American Bowl and the Alamo Bowl at the Alamodome, other than that, it's just high school games really.

But if you think about it, Texas really is the fertile crescent for football. They have like 5 D-1 college teams and just about any other D-1 team in the nation has a player from there. I would rather see one in a place like that then in Los Angeles where people will just go to be seen.

Los Angeles is a terrible sports town. Nobody that lives in LA is originally from there, so they don't really care. I was watching a Dodgers game the other day on EPSN. Really nice day out and they were playing another good team, place wasn't even close to full. Ridiculous. Go to any real sports town under those conditions and you got a sell out.
Texas has enough football teams, moving to Mississippi would work. |

That would require Mississippi to develop an economy first
![]() No, seriously though, I would think that Alabama, Oklahoma, or somewhere around the Virginias would be a good place, but it seems like big college areas don't really want to have pro franchises there. San Antonio really isn't a big college area at all, but they are still in the prime of football country, which is why I think they would make a good city. |

Would you still be a fan of the Saints if they move or what? I always wondered how that would work. I guess you would have to be since you have no other teams.

![]() As a proud Texas, I agree that Texas has enough teams already. Mainly, because that would mean all 3 of the teams in Texas suck. Plus, that ruin the All-Texas Superbowl. Dallas vs. Houston baby! |

To be honest though, now thinking about this more, I think a team in Los Angeles would be better then a team in San Antonio. The fans in Antonio might be a little more hardcore, but having the team in Los Angeles is just on another level, everything is magnified there, so I think it would be more exciting then San Antonio for out of state people.
