And SA is the Oakland of Texas... so it kind of fits.
Plus, one less West Coast travel game for the Chiefs is always a bonus.

I read that Austin and San Antonio are competing for an MLS franchise as well. IMO they should band together to get another pro sports team.
It feels like they are merging closer together nearly everyday anyways with the booming I-35 corridor and northern SA.
