Bills Eye Move To Austin TX?

[fordman84]

Jerry is probably the one leading the charge in making this threat, since it makes more money for the NFL and thus the other owners. But he would never let a new team set up in Texas.

And Austin would NEVER approve tax dollars for an NFL stadium and infrastructure. This is pure posturing and Pegula trying to pick the biggest city without an NFL team right now. I'd see OKC in play before Austin.

did it?

Yes, like a charm.

 

[DraftNerd]

I think a team needs 2/3 vote to move, zero chance they move to Austin!

Jerrah can muster enough votes against to block. He isn’t letting someone in his backyard like that. Very weak threat by the Bills.

except isn't giant stadium closer to NY than Tropicana field is to actually being in Tampa?

Maybe that's why they call them the Tampa Bay Buccaneers instead of the Tampa Buccaneers.

And Tampa Bay Rays instead of Tampa Rays.

that's pretty cool how they put St Petersburg on Tampa Bay like that...

Perhaps. I've just never had a reason to go there.

I've been to Millinocket, Maine though.

I've been to Bangor, Maine.

They could move the team pretty much anywhere and it would be better than Buffalo.

Just saying.

According to local sports talk, this potential move was news to Austin City Council.... So yeah. Pure Posturing... And poor posturing

Tampa Bay isn’t a city. It’s a body of water.
