No. They can pay for their own stadium. We are a community, not an ATM for the NFL.

I was trying to get some feedback if the Raiders were to move to San Antonio, what were
the thoughts about that.

I'd like it if the Raiders moved to SA. They'd be closer for me to hate.

The TWA dome in St Louis was smaller than the Astrodome, which was deemed not NFL worthy by the NFL before the TWA dome opened. Davis will move to wherever he can get the best deal. The cowbitches and Texans will fight to keep rights in Central TX.

The Alamodome is twenty years old. The only way to attract the Raigers would be to build a new dome.
No......

imo, a stadium, new or "old" is only a mere part of the overall financial equation.

Can a team attract the kind of ticket buyers to fill out the expensive boxes and top tier priced seats in a city such as San Antonio?

Can the city attract enough top of the line conventions and other events other than football to fill that stadium? More importantly, will the city itself get enough stadium revenues to retire the debt incurred to finance the construction and operation?

Yes, the 'boys and the Texans want to hog as much NFL revenues and fans as possible. San Antonio now proabably doesn't contribute very much to them now, so not a biggie. Would an NFL team pull revenues from them? Unlikely, imo.
