5. San Antonio, Texas

When the Raiders were starting to look at a move out of Oakland, before looking toward Las Vegas and officially filing for relocation to there recently, owner Mark Davis was reported to be kicking the tires on San Antonio. The Alamodome is considered a viable facility for an NFL team, and football is obviously a major religion in Texas.

The University of Texas-San Antonio football team calls the Alamodome home, and the building has hosted multiple events across virtually every sport. The NBA’s San Antonio Spurs called it home for a time, and the Valero Alamo Bowl takes place at the Alamodome each year.

With this year’s Super Bowl being in Houston, and the Cowboys’ relatively new stadium in Arlington likely to be in the rotation for the game now, San Antonio may quickly fall by the wayside as a possible host city anytime soon. But even at the risk of major Texas overload, San Antonio has to be an option for the NFL’s marquee event at some point in the future.
