I wouldn't say vast amounts of open space between Austin/San Antonio. New Braunfels is booming. Housing is going in like crazy in places like Schertz/Cibolo. The open lands are disappearing. There is open land, but I would not say vast amounts. You are correct that Austin/SA are not interconnected like WPB/Miami, but a lot of folks in New Braunfels/San Marcos commute to either SA or Austin. I think an NFL franchise, if marketed correctly, could be marketed to both SA and Austin. That is what they were going to do when they talked about putting a MLB stadium on the Comal/Bexar county line for the Marlins.
