MJWalker45 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The annoying thing here is, no one seems to be hurt to see them go. Granted, not having a winning season since 2008 makes it easy to see them off for most people here in San Antonio. They are even some portions of the citizenry that seem to be happy about the possible move of Columbus to Austin because for some dumb reason they think that we can get NFL football or MLB here, and they don't want MLS because it's "not real football".

kimball Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 They better keep the nickname the Stars. There's history with the name in the city and it just fits. Just swap silver for gold and you've got a winner. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Sodboy13 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 We're probably getting stuck with a casino property for the team's name, much like the Connecticut Sun.

MJWalker45 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 They're playing at Mandalay Bay Arena, hopefully that's not what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickp91 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Previously The MGM Grand Garden Arena and the T-Mobile Arena were muted as potential new homes, with both losing out to Mandalay Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike this year's NBA finals, the Lynx/Sparks matchup was amazing to watch.

Sykotyk Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I honestly only cared a little when Cleveland had the Rockers. Once they folded, my interest hovers around nil. Unless it's the title game and absolutely nothing else is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, The Orleans Arena would likely be the best option in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
