Alamodome to Get $43 Million Makeover

San Antonio is investing $43 million into the 65,000-seat Alamodome, which is connected to the city’s Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center by a walking path and is close to the infamous River Walk and Alamo, as well as thousands of hotel rooms and numerous shops, restaurants and attractions. Scheduled for completion in November 2017, the Alamodome is designed for flexibility to accommodate football, basketball, soccer, boxing, tradeshow, and both theater and stadium concert capabilities. Renovations will include more contiguous event space added to the outdoor plaza; an 18,600-square-foot East and West Concourse expansion with upgraded concession areas and new terrace club; new 24,000-square-foot multi-use space; and new technology, including two new LED video walls and ribbon boards. In addition to the Alamodome renovations, the city has recently expanded its historic River Walk and will debut a transformed Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in January 2016.
