Report: San Antonio brings its Raiders relocation pitch to Bay Area
http://www.mercurynews.com/sports/ci_26887864/A group led by San Antonio's former mayor will meet with Raiders officials in the Bay Area on Friday in the latest effort to lure the team to Texas, according the San Antonio Express-News.
Henry Cisneros told the Express-News that he believes his group has a "very clear 50-50 proposition" of getting the Raiders to relocate to San Antonio.
Raiders owner Mark Davis, who could not be reached for comment on Thursday, has consistently maintained his main objective is keeping the franchise in Oakland and supports a new stadium on a current site....
Since then, according to the newspaper, the Raiders deemed the Alamodome as an NFL-ready facility following a visit by two team officials to a University of Texas-San Antonio game. The paper also said the Raiders and the city shared the cost of a recent survey of fans in South and Central Texas to gauge their interest in supporting the team.

Once again, Henry, the NFL is not interested in a third Texas team. In other news, Elizabeth Warren is not running for President.
