Chicago is a different deal as Chicago owns the team and can make their own deals if they want. I take it San Antonio and Florida have a successful relationship.
I guess they could move but it would seem crass to move away if it's a successful relationship.
The one good thing he said was he was looking for a city closer to Vancouver. This would help the Abbotsford travelling and rivalry situation. The baby Oil aren't drawing well in Oklahoma and it would be great if they moved farther west as well.
