The Alamodome will never get torn down or get repurposed for basketball. Alamodome hosts Final Fours even though the venue is not the best venue compared to the newer venues. It’s downtown, the river walk, and the convention center that attracts Final Fours plus they are all in the vicinity of the Alamodome. It’s not always about the quality of the venue that attracts these big events.

I can't tolerate any more Alamodome slander. They literally host a UFL team along with multiple arena teams from back in the day as well as the all american army game. People talk about it like it's oakland-alemeda coliseum.
I just went to the Alamodome for the circus this past weekend. It''s not a bad stadium at all, just old, but it still gets a lot of use almost every weekend.
A lot of mid-sized markets would love to have a facility like that where you can pretty much use it for anything. The beauty of the Alamodome is that it is so basic that it can fill the role of "multipurpose" better than any stadium I know of.
Las Vegas tried that and are all ready dealing with a shortfall because hotel taxes didn’t cover everything. So now they have to dip into the General Fund. The hotel tax has expired and they can’t renew it, so now they are going to endlessly pay from the general fund. Meanwhile Marc Dave does not need to pay a cent back and the Raiders have move from a mid level value team to a top 10 and have nearly doubled. So why again do we need taxpayer money.

I'm a Spurs fan, but I don't think our tax dollars should pay for it. Spurs entertainment is a very profitable business and we just paid for the bulk of their new La Cantera facility. Tax breaks, sure. But the Spurs organization should pay for at least 60% of any new arena.
I support the need for a new basketball arena. Downtown is where the Spurs should be playing. What I do not support is throwing a new baseball facility into this deal. With the Astros and the Rangers in this state, it is unlikely that we will ever get a MLB team. Austin would be a better play for a MLB team. I do not support minor league baseball. Like minor league soccer and hockey, it is a waste of time. Why make a baseball stadium part of this deal? Triple A or Double A, it is still minor league. The Alamodome is old. It needs to be torn down and a new football stadium built.
Someone please tell Depressed Ginger that the Alamodome is currently home of the UFL team, the San Antonio Brahmas and the Alamodome also hosted the XFL Championship last season in 2023 at this point he keeps on overlooking the UFL bruh lmao
San Antonio should have an NFL team but it will likely have to happen over Jerry Jones' dead body whenever that's destined to happen. Texas football is too strong to trail California, Florida, and even New York state plus greater New York City in NFL teams. I'm not sure about MLB interest but the recent World Series titles of the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers, the former by legitimate means the second time around, could certainly boost demand for more diamond opportunities in the Lone Star State. Finally, Houston should be a top priority for NHL expansion.
As a Houston resident, I really think the NHL should avoid our city at all costs. I have never met a single person who said "I wish we had a Hockey team" here. Soccer is genuinel 100x more popular than Hockey here, the other major sports even more than that.
I'm not from SATX, so IDK exactly how the Alamodome looks in terms of age, and I'm reading comments that it is still up-to-date as far as recent renovations. I do wanna say that if San Antonio DOES get an NFL expansion team, they most certainly WOULD build a new stadium and replace the Alamodome
Alamo Dome rocks and is one of our few recognizable land marks in the skyline (other one being that weird cupcake on a stick building) the fact the spurs want to tear it down shows that they think that since they are our the only major pro sports team they own the city
whatever they do, please build it near a potential high speed rail link to austin or have a light rail link from the arena to the high speed rail station.
Voters will say no and the Spurs will move to Vegas. I've heard this from one of .y friends that works for Spurs if they don't get this they will try to leave.
Stadiums today have minimal parking. This is how cities make even more money. People are forced to walk through the city which leads to even more development and revenue. This is not 2004 anymore.
As someone who’s been an out of state Spurs fan my whole life. They need to build our spurs a new stadium or let them go to Austin. But I think they’ll build it. SA is my favorite place on the planet. Go Spurs Go
If there was a four-way deal to make a new alamodome, there could be a potential deal made. This would have to involve UTSA, Brahmas, San Antonio FC, and the city.
The Alamodome is not rotting away. It got a renovation a few years back and it hosts events including sports music and other entertainment almost every weekend. I live in San Antonio.
Hell they brought us 5 titles and more on the way, definitely will keep Wemby here, so hey as long as tourist tax dollars are the majority bucks that pay for Go for it!🎉🎉🎉GSG!
Waiting for Austin or San Antonio to get a NFL team. One more team in TX will feed families. I dislike the city of Houston & don’t care for the Cowgirls. Us Texans need a new team in Austin, if not Austin than San Antonio.
San Antonio or Austin will NEVER get an NFL team. Tv market is small and cowboys and Texans will block it. SA is boring u can only go to Riverwalk so many times.
Welp. If you don't want to foot the bill expect to lose your only professional sports franchise. I voted for the current arena but fast forward 30 years I don't know if I would vote for this one.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Downtown San Antonio, like many downtowns, was decimated by covid. A downtown sports complex and new restaurants and hotels would be a blessing to the city and its people.
They need a bigger arena. To fit all them BIG OL WOMAN down there. They even sacked out all the air out the AC last time they were in the playoffs. According to Chuck but I mean Chuck is a straight shooter 😂
As someone who lives in San Antonio I think this is so dumb. They just threw a ton of money into the Alamo dome. The reason it sucks is because there is no parking and they never get anybody interesting to preform there. It’s the fault of the stadium
Nobody I mean nobody wants to go to East side of San Antonio even if it's just for the Spurs They need to move the stadium ASAP as a local I'm embarrassed to have tourists come to one of the worst sides of town just to watch a Basketball game like What Where They Thinking 🤔
First start winning fucking games and then y’all can demand another arena or whatever the hell y’all want, LMAO, get out of here, ever since the old-school players left this spurs haven’t been the same team
Wemby just finished his rookie season, what are u on about? You have to plan stadiums years in advance. Imagine if they finish the new stadium after Wemby hits the decline, it would be a travesty.
The spurs were in down town in the hemisphere arena now since the 80s they want go back well let them title Alamo dome title in the frost bank now down town 6th title
university of texas institute of texan cultures building is basement level only that mean they built it underground there. so the arena will be similar as one of the new mexico or texas college basketball arena which built straight underground where the court will be at the 2nd or 3rd level basement there because of how far underground that will be anyway. so yea good luck for the spurs then anyway then.
do you know, university of texas institute of texan cultures used to be State of Texas Pavilion part of the HemisFair '68 (worlds fair 1968) and the starage area used to be an Women's Pavilion at the same world fair back in 1968. and that is it here.
If you can buy a sports team you can fund your own dame place to play. Stop coming to the taxpayers with phony slogans like “district”. There is not one single argument that holds up for giving wealthy owners tax payer money. Enough is enough.
The only people that are Spurs fans in San Antonio are the poor people that live in the city center called "puro fans" I am born an raised in San Antonio and grew up with the big 3 and lived through all the championships in SA!

Austin is looking into getting an MLB team coming in.
San Antonio or Austin will NEVER get an NFL team. Tv market is small and cowboys and Texans will block it. SA is boring u can only go to Riverwalk so many times.
Remember where not California or Florida no offense to those states Where texas is not about money here 😊
Where is that baseball stadium they are building now? Same spot?
Welp. If you don't want to foot the bill expect to lose your only professional sports franchise. I voted for the current arena but fast forward 30 years I don't know if I would vote for this one.
Nice satellite shot of the Freeman Coliseum. I used to watch the S.A. Dragons (IHL, defunct) play hockey there. Good times.
***-Adam Silver says the NBA will start expansion process this fall***
San Antonio needs to stop being cheap and make moves! It’s time to move to the 21st century, the city mentality is stuck in the 90s
SA Sux.
We got renderings for the San Antonio arena before the the thunder arena
if they aint making money, why dump more money into it...
Billionaires quit being greedy and bribing people and pay for the stadium yourselves
You have no idea what you are talking about. Downtown San Antonio, like many downtowns, was decimated by covid. A downtown sports complex and new restaurants and hotels would be a blessing to the city and its people.
@@coachtimmeh6826 yes the fuck I do
@@dreamcage1801what state do u live in then? if it ain’t texas, you don’t have a clue of what San Antonio is like downtown.
They need a bigger arena. To fit all them BIG OL WOMAN down there. They even sacked out all the air out the AC last time they were in the playoffs. According to Chuck but I mean Chuck is a straight shooter 😂
As someone who lives in San Antonio I think this is so dumb. They just threw a ton of money into the Alamo dome. The reason it sucks is because there is no parking and they never get anybody interesting to preform there. It’s the fault of the stadium
Spurs Arena Being New Will Personally Suck With This Plan In Mind And Place!
Go build it at retama park .
I got 20 on it lol from South East San Antonio 😅
Just dont abandoned it
Nobody I mean nobody wants to go to East side of San Antonio even if it's just for the Spurs They need to move the stadium ASAP as a local I'm embarrassed to have tourists come to one of the worst sides of town just to watch a Basketball game like What Where They Thinking 🤔
First start winning fucking games and then y’all can demand another arena or whatever the hell y’all want, LMAO, get out of here, ever since the old-school players left this spurs haven’t been the same team
Wemby just finished his rookie season, what are u on about? You have to plan stadiums years in advance. Imagine if they finish the new stadium after Wemby hits the decline, it would be a travesty.
@@babydrippa oh yeah, I forgot about him, well he’s the only one doing good
The spurs were in down town in the hemisphere arena now since the 80s they want go back well let them title Alamo dome title in the frost bank now down town 6th title
Blindspot to spring football leauges lol
university of texas institute of texan cultures building is basement level only that mean they built it underground there. so the arena will be similar as one of the new mexico or texas college basketball arena which built straight underground where the court will be at the 2nd or 3rd level basement there because of how far underground that will be anyway. so yea good luck for the spurs then anyway then.
do you know, university of texas institute of texan cultures used to be State of Texas Pavilion part of the HemisFair '68 (worlds fair 1968) and the starage area used to be an Women's Pavilion at the same world fair back in 1968. and that is it here.
Wasn’t baseball going in there?
Throwing shade at the UFL Brahmas again I guess???
Come on holt family you are classy owners pay for the whole project yourself you are better than this
so they can lose? no thanks go to austin
If you can buy a sports team you can fund your own dame place to play. Stop coming to the taxpayers with phony slogans like “district”. There is not one single argument that holds up for giving wealthy owners tax payer money. Enough is enough.
Why does everyone want new stadiums as of late? Leave the taxpayers alone!!
Chances of this happening is exactly 0%
Spurs want it they should get it S.A ain’t shit without em!!
SA should tell the Spurs to f off.
The only people that are Spurs fans in San Antonio are the poor people that live in the city center called "puro fans" I am born an raised in San Antonio and grew up with the big 3 and lived through all the championships in SA! I dont give a fuck if they left tomorrow! The Spurs are fucking over the residents and the city in whole. If they left I wouldnt even notice.
@@mattdajedi thankfully youre in a small minority 🙏
Enough with the videos we don’t care about. Make a new channel for sports.
San Antonio is pretty lame. They should invest in what they have.
