Does San Antonio still have a shot at the luring the Raiders away from Oakland?

Former Mayor Henry Cisneros will lead a group of San Antonio governmental and civic leaders headed who'll meet with Oakland Raiders officials Friday in the Bay Area.

The meeting comes nearly four months after Raiders owner Mark Davis first discussed with Cisneros and others in San Antonio, including Spurs owner Peter Holt and former Minnesota Vikings owner B.J. “Red” McCombs, the possibility of the beleaguered NFL franchise moving to the Alamo City should it fail to gain a new stadium in Oakland.

Since then, the Raiders deemed the Alamodome as an NFL-ready facility following a visit by two team officials to a UTSA game and have exchanged information with city leaders. The Raiders and the city also shared the cost of a survey of fans in South and Central Texas to gauge their interest in supporting the team.

Add it all up, and Cisneros believes the possibility of the team moving to South Texas is a “very clear 50-50 proposition.”
