Trivia

Alamodome was originally constructed to fulfil the requirements of basketball team "San Antonio Spurs" to have a larger arena, but after playing in the stadium for a decade, they relocated to a new arena which is now known as "AT&T Center."

Alamodome is a domed multi-purpose stadium, located in 100 Montana Streets, San Antonio. It was opened on May 15, 1993. Alamodome was the home stadium to San Antonio Spurs (NBA) from 1993 to 2002, as well as San Antonio Texans of CFL since the year 1995. At present, it is the home to the University of Texas Roadrunners (NCAA). Since its opening, it has hosted major events including Alamo Bowl football game that held annually, NCCA tournament games for volleyball and basketball as well as men’s and women’s basketball Final Four. Alamodome was a training camp site for the Dallas Cowboys for six years. Other special sports such as baseball, hockey, skating and American football have been conducted in Alamodome.
