Just a point of order here. The Las Vegas Metro is almost 2 million people without a pro sports franchise. That's a little less than twice as large as Austin.


Austin metro is like 1.8 but point taken. I think Austin is the largest city without one, Vegas is the largest metro. Both are probably fricked as far as getting one any time soon honestly

I highly doubt Texas would care for a pro team of any sort in Austin and would fight it tooth and nail from happening.

shite, they can't even bring themselves to share conference revenues evenly w/full Big 12 Net. No fricking way they'd be willing to compete w/a pro team.

I think if Vegas REALLY wanted one, they could pull it off - there's enough money rolling through that town to pull it off (though I think something permanently indoor, like an NBA franchise, would be best).

Austin has no prayer regardless.
