I would secure the franchise first.

It's hard to build a stadium for a team that never comes.

That makes sense Andy. The scenario that prompted this thread: if a San Antonio native wanted a team there, playing on the site of the Alamo Dome (which he’d level and replace) and wanted to move the Jags there, I wondered would he buy the Alamo Dome or Jags 1st.

I would try the Saints before the Jaguars. Jaguars have London Calling.

Believe it or not, the Saints almost moved to San Antonio permanently when Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans.
