i hope they get a chance to play here - the Alamodome is a nice facility that the Spurs used to play at until SBC built the SBC center which is nicer, bigger, and has more capacity. The Alamdodome is kind of small for a NFL football field stadium, but will get the job done.
There is NO chance whatsoever that the team relocates here permanently. I do not see that happening - too much politics behind that.
Besides, the "indigenous" people here aren't much for NFL fans.... the Spurs are the thing down here, and every other car has a damn spurs sticker on its back window. They love their Spurs down here.
I personally don't care for them. But it would be nice to be able to watch a Dolphins game in person for the first time in ten years. I know if they do come, myself and Yardman13 will be at the game with Jerseys on... Just look for probably the ONLY aqua and white jerseys in the house
Even though I have to DJ the night before in Dallas, I will be taking a flight first thing in the morning to San Antonio if this game takes place there. There's no way i'm missing that.

This would be awesome.. it would be the first time I have gotten to see the Dolphins play since they beat the Oilers in the astrodome MANY years ago..
I still remember Zach returning an INT for a touchdown.. I hope this is true because I would love to go to the game.

Either way, I will be going to San Antonio for the game if this is true and they are playing there..

Driving the speed limit
San Antonio to Houston = ~3 hours
(contracted in Houston and made this drive every week for about 2 years)
San Antonio to Dallas = ~4.5 hours
(lived in Dallas for the past 5 years until 3 weeks ago, made this drive many times to come back to SA to visit family and friends)

I dunno bout that man, its never taken much longer than 2 hours to get to San Antonio, BUT, I think my hometown is a little closer thats why..
And yes, I drove like 90+ on my way to Dallas so I know that number is slower for those who chose to drive slower

byroan said:I just wanted to see how far the team would be from the others in the state. But I guess it doesn't matter since Oak/SF play about 30 mins from each other.
or the fact that the Giants and Jets play in the same stadium!

From East side of SA to Katy is about ~2.5 hours (~2 at about 85-90 MPH)
From West side of SA to North Dallas is exactly 3 hours if you go an AVG of 100+ MPH (don't ask
