FuriousxGeorge posted:What makes San Antonio a better destination than St. Louis? Well, first there have been preliminary talks (even if it was as a dumb negotiation tactic). They have roughly the same population, so I think it's that Texas would really like another sports team and hey the Raiders have same colors as the Spurs and they're not really beloved right now.

JRizzle posted:St. Louis city might be going downhill, but the suburbs are where everyone lives and STL still has a larger metropolitan area than San Antonio by a lot. 2.8 versus 2.2 million which isn't that much more. Plus the St Louis metro area goes like 60 miles away from the city and if you 60 miles north from San Antonio you begin to hit Austin.

The Rams are the most likely to actually move, after that it gets hairy because the Chargers seem to have the (other) best laid out plan but the Raiders have the strongest fan support.

Ehud posted:@msmallm2: St. Louis comes up with $400 mil of public money. OAK does nothing and gets league money and keeps their team. What a time to be alive. There's really nowhere better to go (unless you really like San Antonio), the NFL doesn't want 3 teams in LA and the Raiders don't have the money to go it alone. Plus they're kinda on the upswing while the 49ers are still reforming themselves so they'll probably reap the benefits of the Bay Area market for the near future.

Febreeze posted:The only people I ever hear talk about putting a pro football team in Portland are people who don't live here and are just looking at the population density and deciding it's enough people to support a team. There isn't going to be a team here, it's just not happening. There is nowhere in the city to put it because of how dense the city is packed because of the anti-sprawl laws and the housing issues you mentioned. You could probably stick it in Beaverton or one of the other suburbs if they vote for it, there's more room out there and we should always be looking for ways to make 26 more of a traffic nightmare. There's not even enough population density, they need like another million people in between there and Salem before it becomes viable. My proposal is to wait until Cuba is all repaired with relations (which should be about 2019 if Raul steps down) and then start a Latin American division. You can do Havana, Puerto Rico, Mexico City and...the Bahamas. Or Haiti, or something. kiimo posted:

kiimo posted:I know I'm supposed to hate Kroenke but he is businessing circles around other businessers. He's making them look like total chumps at this point and an insider was just on the radio saying the way this is going is increasingly that Kroenke will own the LA market alone and the Chargers and Raiders will use their 100m to stay in their towns. Unless the City of Oakland likes the $100 million contribution it looks likely that the Raiders are moving somewhere. Might as well be LA since they have the established history there.

They might be okay with giving $100 million less. But probably not, from what I heard about the city.

Hmm, and he has some billionaire backers too, so that would relieve a lot of the stress of moving fees and the like. I think the most likely scenario is that they stay in Oakland for 2016, assess the situation in LA, and make preliminary deals with San Antonio if dealing with the Rams is too onerous.
