San Antonio woos Raiders in relocation bid (AFP)

San Francisco (AFP) - Texas billionaire Red McCombs, a former owner of the NFL Minnesota Vikings and NBA San Antonio Spurs, is encouraging the Oakland Raiders to consider relocating to San Antonio.

McCombs told KZDC radio that he would be willing to invest in the team if that would help lure Raiders owner Mark Davis into the Alamodome as a temporary home while a new stadium is built.

"We still have to get them to want to come," McCombs said. "(Davis) was born and raised there and he has a great feeling for the state of California, but it appears he is going to need to go somewhere.
