Bottom line is Austin has put itself in a position as a city that the MLS is looking to relocate there. San Antonio is begging for another pro sports team and nobody wants to come here and there are legitimate reasons why.

I feel like we need to "work on us" before we start trying to lure franchises here. Work on growing our economy, our transportation infrastructure, our schools. When we start from the ground up, we can look more enticing to sports teams.
