SAN ANTONIO – Since January 2022, the Alamodome has hosted more than 1.2 million guests attending an array of concerts, sporting events, and other entertainment.
The dome is set to undergo significant upgrades needed to continue to attract such events. The replacement of elevator and escalator infrastructure has already been completed.
Work could begin before the end of the year on the buildout of additional club-level suites and upper-deck improvements. The ballpark cost for those improvements is $25 million.
While the Alamodome has had its detractors, its impact on the community has been immense. St. Mary’s University professor Steve Nivin has pegged it at nearly $4 billion to date, including nearly $628 million in revenue for the city, county, state, and federal government since it opened on May 15, 1993.
