Before anyone says "Hey, there is not an expansion planned anytime soon...", yes, I know, and this is a hypothetical. Hear me out.
The Spurs sent out a letter requesting to play more games in Austin and Mexico. Usually, letters like this are signs that a move is coming in the next couple years. Austin is a big time up and coming city and I could it see it being a much more appealing market than San Antonio.
With Elon Musk looking like he is moving some operations to Austin, and the number of people leaving Commie...I mean California to come to Texas, I could see a team wanting to be in football-crazy Texas with an aim for Austin. Over 1 million people and growing, and while SA has 1.4 million, it really is a small metro area surrounded by lots of burbs and land. It doesn't have that big city feel.
If a NBA team pulls up roots and makes the move, can the NFL be far behind if expansion is planned? Could a team survive in Austin?
