The '''Alamodome''' is a 64,000-seat domed indoor [[multi-purpose stadium]] in [[San Antonio, Texas]]. It is located on the southeastern fringe of [[downtown San Antonio]]. The facility opened on May 15, 1993, having been constructed at a cost of $186&nbsp;million.

The multi-purpose facility was intended to increase the city's convention traffic and attract a professional football franchise.  It also placated the [[San Antonio Spurs]]' demands for a larger arena.  The Spurs played in the Alamodome for a decade, then became disenchanted with the facility and convinced [[Bexar County, Texas|Bexar County]] to construct a new arena for them, now called the [[Frost Bank Center]]. The Alamodome's regular tenants are currently the [[San Antonio Brahmas]] of the [[United Football League (2024)|United Football League]] and the [[UTSA Roadrunners football|UTSA Roadrunners]]. Recent tenants include the [[San Antonio Commanders]] of the [[Alliance of American Football]] and the [[San Antonio Talons]] of the [[Arena Football League]].
