And I don't think attracting pro sports is high on the civic leaders agenda, just not that kind of place.

You could see some crazy rich person thinking it would be fun to try.

At 3 times the size, Houston is probably a safer bet but Fertitta seems to have no interest.
Austin is a defund the police and skyrocketing homicide rate city.
