This news segment for Houston’s KPRC-TV, broadcast on October 6, 1999, reports on the meeting of NFL owners in Atlanta. When the NFL Expansion Committee began hearing proposals for the next franchise in 1998, Los Angeles was the clear favorite. After the relocation of the Raiders and Rams, officials hoped to reclaim its stake in the nation's second-largest television market. Los Angeles groups presented two separate offers, but neither could compete with the $700 million proposal from Houston businessman Bob McNair. The owners unanimously approved his offer on October 6. The Houston Texans played their first game in 2002.
