I don't think STL wants to deal with the NFL again.

I'm not sure if Portland even has a stadium. Also somehow finding the one place in the country in greater danger of an earthquake than LA would be impressive.

No he wouldn't. But if the other owners want an instant success with a full stadium and eyeballs on TVs that's the place to put 'em.

Maybe somebody needs to put some arsenic in his coffee. He's not getting any younger you know.

Why don't we use a blindfold and either throw a dart at a map or play pin the tail on the donkey and let's just pick the nearest town to the mark the blindfolded kid puts on the map and talk about it as a possible destination for a team that ain't going to relocate?

They spent $5 billion dollars to build SoFi Stadium, how much did SoFi spent for the naming rights?

The Chargers are not playing anywhere else after the team is sold.

San Antonio/Austin region could not support an NFL team...

The best thing for that team is to force a sale.

I still nominate the nomad approach. They a home game in a different city every week. Smaller venues. Lincoln, New Mexico, Salt Lake City, Alabama, Mississippi, Fargo, Boise etc. Places that do not see Pro games.

And what leads you to this conclusion?

I'm not sure they have the fanbase.

Jerry is fighting tooth and nail to not have another team in Texas.

I'd love to see Spanos out of the NFL, he's a cancer. I never understood how the NFL thought the move to LA was a great idea. They're stuck there now at least short-term until the rest of the owners figure out what to do with them. I don't see St. Louis as a viable option, nor do I foresee San Antonio until Jerry is gone. My best guess is they'd use any wiggle as an excuse to put a team in London.

I hope that 5 billion dollar stadium buries both owners.

Even if every penny of that came out of Stan Kroenke's pocket and he never made another dime he'd still be worth 3.2 billion

Not gonna happen.

Still too many viable cities in the US.
Too much travel.
Not viable due to time differences.

The moment the NFL goes to London, they've jumped the shark.

If they set up a full NFL league in Europe, all in same time zone and easy travel that could work years from now.

I could see a division, that'd cut the travel down.

Texas is just about the most football crazy part of the country. And depending on what you define as a separate media market, San Antonio is certainly one of the biggest without it's own NFL teams.
