Venue and food is great; parking is ATROCIOUS...One staff lady opened all the gates to get out of the parking lot, not even 5 minutes later another lady slams the gates shut almost hitting my car because she INSISTED on closing. Cops stand there doing nothing. Took 45 minutes to one hour to get out because Miss Yellow Vest couldn't handle car...terrible parking situation almost hitting cars with their wands and their gates, and paid $40?!!! I'll park elsewhere and walk read more

The entry experience was so easy that I found it quite alarming. In droves, people just walked through. There is no dress code, so people were able to get through with their cowboy hats and boots and buckles without problem -- great! However, I didn't feel safe when it came to firearms or knives. The venue itself is adequately staffed but I guess I'm used to the kindness of those at the Moody Center in Austin. Here, it just felt like people wanted a paycheck. The food wasn't jarring in upcharge but I didn't order anything because the Alamodome in general is just not clean. The bathrooms are a nightmare and I felt so bad for those who had to use the women's facilities. Everything seemed to have a line and the restroom line for women was tough. The actual concert was decent but to be honest, I was heavily overstimulated. I am super glad I brought my noise altering headphones because the dB went up to 97 at some points; far too loud for the seat I was in (101, row 24, seat 14). The seats were decent and, for someone with back problems, they did the job. The lighting on the stairs was also good as intoxicated people struggled to get to their seats. There's just a lot this place could improve...and that starts with entry and bathrooms. Then just turn the speakers down a bit! I really hope I never have to visit this venue again to see my favorite artists. read more

Paul McCartney's concert last month was the first time my sister and I ever saw a concert or show at the Alamodome :) ! His concert was absolutely PHENOMENAL :D !! We wouldn't have expected anything less from a Beatle, rock legend, and musical genius :) ! The concert itself was definitely worth 5 stars all the way :D !! We were told that this was the first time in 32 years that he performed at the Alamodome, ever since he first christened its opening in 1993 :D ! We were grateful and relieved that, at least, the VIA shuttles around town were available as paid transportation options to go to and from the concert. Otherwise, it would have been a nightmare to get to and from the venue! We have been to some venues before where there were no good transpiration options, and the only option was to drive and park yourself. But fortunately, the Alamodome has the VIA shuttle option, which is very much like the Park & Ride option I was used to before for the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. There is a designated area for Rideshare options like Uber and Lyft. But I wouldn't suggest that. Although it can be ok taking Rideshare to the Alamodome, like most big venues, it's a huge pain to get picked up after the concert by Rideshare, unless you leave the concert well before everyone else does. The Alamodome isn't the best concert venue we have been to, but it also is certainly not the worst. We would say it is somewhat in the middle. Once you get dropped off by VIA shuttle, the signs leading up to the Alamodome are pretty straightforward and self-explanatory. However, once you are inside, it can be somewhat confusing to find your seats. I felt like we had to ask at least 3 people how to find our floor seats. And even when we got to the floor, there weren't well delineated signs to follow to our section, row and seat numbers. We found it somewhat odd that yellow chalk was used to write markings on the ground, instead of darker-colored chalk, or clear printed signs (which would have been easier to follow). Our seats weren't the most comfortable, since they were plastic fold-out chairs. But considering we had floor seats, and we could get up and stand anytime, this didn't really bother us, except when we got tired of standing. Like most concert and stadium venues, the food is your typical pricey fast food and drinks. But this is expected since it's a well-known fact that most concert and stadium venues usually don't sell quality food. I would say that the drinks overall are better than the food. Otherwise, we felt that the acoustics were pretty stellar and the concert experience there was still AMAZING :D !! read more

The other day it dawned on me whilst waiting in the merch line at a Paul Mccartney show outside the Alamodome. I was thinking about the finite parking space, which by the time you read this will be a hundred dollars. I thought about the logistics, the hair-brained foresight the progenitors of the Alamodome had. I thought for 30 seconds and realized there was none. The masterminds that brought the shortly lived Fiesta Plaza Mall, where the UTSA downtown campus now resides conjured up this cursed mess. The Alamodome could've been like the opulent or luxurious visions of Houston, New Orleans. But alas, they opted for a cheaper version. Which I believe has short changed the city. A few decades with the odd Post Malone show, UTSA football games or area graduations what is its purpose? It just sits there hunkering. It's aesthetics and architecture are pitiful. A one star denotes if it is so bad then why do I still go? The answer. Simply, there is no where else to go. And I'm not sure creating a new arena will resolve that. This review is beginning to sound like an Op Ed. I will move quickly with my critiques, which are many. The pros: Crickets! The cons: When it was built they forgot to include parking. Be careful parking in the neighborhood, as there are scammers abound. Designers should've created this venue with a parking garage in mind. Instead there are like a hundred available spaces for the 40, 000 person capacity. Even if you find parking it's like scaling Castle Greyskull to get to the entrance area. The security is ultra laxed here. I've gone to a few shows here and they barely wand you. At the Majestic Theater staff will hunt you down if you have a Fun Sized Snicker. Since the shows are of big drawing artists there is no walking space. Walls and walls of people bumping into you. God forbid you have to wait for your company who's gone to the lavatory. Or should I say using it at all. I will tell you having gone to many stalls in my Yelp Life at shows I have experienced the best and the worst. The restrooms are deplorable. The floor is wet with P.P. And a multitude of dudes drunk on $23 dollar Modelos wait in line to wet the floors. There is absolutely no breathing space. The word of the day here is: long lines. Lines for overpriced food and beer. Lines to get to your seat. At that capacity staff are ultra unhelpful. Make sure you are in the right section. I saw ushers tell a guy he had to walk the distance of half a football stadium to get to his seats. Am I ranting too much? Let me conclude this. The seating here is really tight. Even though we got some decent seats I still felt cramped in. The whole night someone kept kicking my seat from behind. The closer you are to floor seats, the longer your trip will be to get drinks, food and the restroom. Furthermore, never mind. City leaders constantly sing the praises of this place. I guess it's easier to proclaim this from box seating that most locals can't afford. The Alamodome is a venue in need of dire repair. Its interior hasn't seen any renovations since the Hemisphere Arena was demolished. But entertainers will continue to come here, especially as ticket prices continue to rise. And people will go to those shows as there is really no alternative venue. If it's any consolation you can wash down your sorrows with $20 dollar nachos and $40 dollar margaritas. read more

I've seen Paul McCartney and Alice In Chains here. Wow! Great venue and experience. Pro Tip: 1. Bring ear plugs. I didn't for Paul and my ears were ringing after the show 2. If you take the bus in, take it again after concert. We thought we could save time by walking and the Ubering. It took us 2 hours to get back to the parking lot and we were the last ones to leave. 10/10 Fireworks read more

It's been a long time since I've came here. My niece was graduating here and was excited to see her and the place again. The Alamodome is huge and has alot of parking (depending on the event you go to, it's best to get there early to get a good spot and dont be surprised on the traffic as it can get somewhat bad). Unfortunately there was a lot of trash outside as we walked to the front door. Wish they cleaned it up a bit more. Also they have signs on what you can bring and the size purse, bag. We did call ahead to confirm what can be brought but when we arrived we were told the opposite. They had a issue with the bags but they ended up leaving us alone as they had to deal with some other big issue happening at the time. It felt a bit unorganized and not enough people to really handle the crowd. Inside was a bit better on trash and plenty of seats to grab. We did order food there and unfortunately the nachos we ordered were stale. The fries and drinks were decent but places like this over price everything. Probably best not to order alot of food here or maybe just a snack or 2 if needed. Overall it was alright and hopefully will be better the next time I come here. read more

After attending two Men's Final Fours in Arizona (where I live), my friends and I decided to travel to San Antonio to enjoy the 2025 Men's Final Four, which took place at the Alamodome in San Antonio. Four of us traveled from Arizona, Colorado, and Kentucky to enjoy the games. We entered the ticket lottery and received seats in the upper arena only about 5 or 6 rows from the top. The seats were surprisingly still a great view of the basketball court from even that high up. We also took advantage of the elevator for three of the four ways up and down between the two days of basketball games. Even the stairs weren't that bad. We did notice that the food options were much more plentiful downstairs with name brand restaurants while the upper level had more arena-style food resembling more of a typical sporting event. We also found more entertainment options and easy entrances and exits from downstairs, which I guess would be as to be expected. Either way, the condition of the Alamodome, the seats, and the stairs and elevators beat most of the other arenas or stadiums I have been in recently. We also appreciated how close the Alamodome was to the Convention Center and various plazas nearby, where the other Final Four activities were taking place. It was nice to know that people could watch the teams practicing ahead of the game days or enjoy free activities both in the Alamodome and nearby plazas and centers. It was also convenient being close enough to the River Walk to enjoy parades along the river. While there was likely nothing that could be done about it at the Alamodome, the traffic walking from the Alamodome to the other side of the Tower of the Americas was horrendous. Otherwise, it was easy to get around. We did end up parking about a 20 minute walk away to avoid hefty fees. Also, we tried not to order too much food but we were curious as to why caps from water bottles were collected before purchased whereas not all stadiums and arenas do that. The games themselves were incredible! We got three close games where the teams up at the half all went on to lose very close games. We had a very pleasant experience, and we'd consider coming back to San Antonio for more Final Four action in the future, especially if the games are at the Alamodome again! read more

I'm a huge boxing fan and I live in Austin. When I found out that the Premiere Boxing Champions was scheduled at Alamodome, I knew I had to go. I brought my wife with me. At first, she was nervous. She had the mindset that boxing was too gruesome. But once the matches began, she got into it. We loved the energy from the crowd. We had great seats to watch the matches and see the boxes as they entered the ring. The matches were action packed and the lineup was stacked. The food and beverages options were decent. Overall, it was an amazing experience and we will absolutely go again. read more

Came here for Final Four weekend. We attended both the Final Four and Champions game. The stadium is located in a convenient location downtown next to all the hotels which makes it great for walking to and from as the Uber/Lyft prices are always higher for big events like these due to the demand. Entering the outside of the arena & the lines were an easy process. They were definitely prepared with enough staff to check everyone's bags and scanning tickets. There are plenty of door options to enter the actual stadium with lots of signs outside. The food lines weren't too crazy on both nights. Food options could have been better (pizza, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, turkey legs) but I understand this is not a regular used stadium for a professional or college team. It's a great size arena and the March Madness energy was definitely felt in there! read more

I had a great experience at the Alamodome! Getting in the building was a breeze, there were plenty of staff around to help you find your seat, elevators had a long line but loved quickly. Like every other venue the food and drinks were mid and expensive but that's the concert/event culture so that's ok in my book! There is plenty of parking on site but you need to book it early. There's also tons of off site parking, even peoples houses next door offer it! I wouldn't hesitate toto attend another concert/event here at all I love that it's not so big too! read more

First, trying to get close with many streets closed down and the parking situation sucks. The outside parking lots were the same as the arena lots $40, tho shady areas and only take cash in the outside lots Going and coming just to walk in and out was a pain Women's restrooms always had a line, no matter when, this older stadium was prob designed by men Nearby hotels do not allow the public in and lock their entrances Found a great nose bleed section, super steep too, but wouldn't go back unless I stayed overnight at a hotel nearby. Forget the elevator, be ready to walk up and down, the lines were impossible Thankfully people were civil Sound was great Staff was nice and helpful if you could find them Caution! When booking online they don't tell you about an obstructed view, poor people on the upper sides see nothing! Not even the screens. Look at my pictures, I posted to remind myself for next time, in case I dare return read more

2.5 STAR REVIEW!! Needs extreme attention to the future reevaluation process to the future success and designing of the acdesss to the areas of good bars and restaurants. Restrooms are swell so a shift issues and it take forever when it's at the Alamo Bowl and there's 80K + fans in attendance. Gotta be better at accommodation of the fans that need to use the amenities available. I've found to graduation high school football games. I've been in high school football games and my parents have expressed her concern about going to the restroom and trying to get something to drink as far as water. I'm going to talk to it 10,000 people to 15,000 people and they shut down other area of the place and they don't allow enough people in the restroom or a full quality is absolutely terrible. I'm going to animal bowl with UT versus Washington football in 20 2285+ thousand people you could not use the restroom you cannot go back to the drain and he has areas where it has some people that were like a bar movable bar terrible absolutely terrible 20 bucks for it because it's easy access but it's not now if you compared to the Cowboys, then where they got drinks that cost $28 absolutely amazing the best margarita you ever ever get in your life the best food. Cons: the Van view and the view of the tribal shield is amazing read more

Day 2 of conference ...was better...it seemed more organized and we were out quickly...we were very pleased! read more

FIRST TIME VISIT!!! So this is our very first visit to this venue and our very first UFL San Antonio Brahmas game. My review is solely on the venue itself, it's staff and amenities. LOCATION: Located just off the freeway near DTSA, the Alamodome has seen a bevy of sports and musical performances, bringing a variety of entertainment for San Antonians and visitors alike for decades. Parking is ample, but many entrances will be blocked off during big events, so prepare to figure that part out on your own or follow the masses. Parking was a whopping $30 for this event. Grounds had quite a bit of litter blowing around. TICKETING & ENTRY: We received free tickets from an outside organization, so tickets were sent to us electronically and upon entering the secured check point (at one of 2 entrances). Our QR codes for our tickets were quickly scanned. This staff was quick and efficient, but not friendly at all. Very impersonal, I felt like livestock being rushed into a slaughter house. LOL! Total human to human disconnect. I later googled and called several phone numbers before I was connected to a live person at the ticket office. She couldn't help me with seat changes and I was forced to locate the box office at the venue. Inconvenient considering different types of staff (security, concession, etc) could not tell me where to find the ticket office. sigh SEATING: we changed our seats to available ADA seating to accommodate for my husband's service dog. The seats at this venue are small, as are the walking spaces in front of each row. No space for Max. With tickets in hand, I approach the ADA seating area on our tickets. There were 2 staff members manning this one area of about 15 seats that were blocked off. Two! Neither could confirm the row and area as defined on our tickets. I'm like, "is this row 19?" They had no idea. They look around us at other neighboring aisles and sections from where they stand with no conclusion. Several uncomfortable moments go by and we're still standing here. Pointing at my ticket, I'm like, is this the ADA area?? They say yes. Good! We're getting somewhere. I point out to them that the row in front of them reads 18, therefore, they must be standing in ADA Row 19. Let's just say the game hasn't even started yet and I've used the Lord's name in vain about 12 times during this interaction. This area has ample space to move through, especially if you have mobility challenges. Or a large pupper in tow. CONCESSIONS: Not a great variety of food and drink selections within a 4 or 5 minute walk in either direction from our section, which is pretty much street level. The venue is small, so I'm surprised so much space was empty and wasted. I couldn't find sweet treats, aside from plant based ice cream (barf) and a handle of convenience store/personal sized packages like Oreos and boxed peanut M&Ms. These were found in their grab and go self service market area. The candy was $5, bottled sodas $6.50, to give you an idea. No fountain drinks were sold. 4 mini carne asada tacos was $16+ tax. I was disappointed to see salsa or hot sauce was not offered upon receiving my tacos. I asked and the girl had no idea if they had hot sauce. She had to ask another worker who had to take my plate back from me and bring it back to the kitchen to add it. To be expected at a venue like this one, but ouch! I would've loved to have seen churros, soft serve ice cream, cotton candy. Sad. MEMORABILIA: Maybe employed by the team itself or by the venue?? But there was a section set aside for sports team swag shopping. The worker couldn't answer half of my questions on merchandise like, "do you sell fitted hats or are they all adjustable?" "Who is the person on that T-shirt?" The answer was "I don't know". I did love the Fiesta medal, but sadly all team merch was blah, underwhelming and super expensive. One trucker hat was $60! A child sized foam football was $30. No kids apparel and nothing fun for the ladies. Overall, the workers are so disconnected from their jobs, they don't know up from down. They go through the motions but don't invest in learning anything of their craft. Keep in mind, though, that these workers are contracted from other staffing companies. But still, this venue should be aware of the staff that are being paid to represent them. And that they suck. Lol! Anyway, would consider visiting again in hopes improvements are made. Please Alamodome! Give me more dining and snacking options! Encourage your staff to smile. Perhaps you need to pay them more to care. I don't know. Just a thought. read more

Alamodome - The field - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Not the prettiest venue, but very functional. I remember way back, when the city paid for a new venue for the Spurs to play in. That didn't last long. That said, I have seen a multitude of other shows in this near downtown venue and enjoyed it for its open concept. If you are on the first floor section you are not too far from the action - whether it be high school football, Runners Football, concerts, or Monster Jam! There are plenty of vendors indoor and outdoors. Plenty of restrooms, and parking and public transportation space are aplenty. I went to the Monster Jam with the kids, and this place gets loud. Tip: Bring ear protection. The cost at home is triple if you decide to buy headphones inside. Grave Digger and Co. provided an excellent show this year. read more

Every time I come here I enjoy every second with my family. Without a doubt, one of the biggest attraction spots in San Antonio. But in my personal opinion, it's due time for an upgrade. No matter what level you sit in, the seats are tight with little to no knee space.. What's the deal with no fountain drinks? We pay good money to come in and enjoy our event. Why not good food and drinks to go with it ? Wonderful place to create memories with your loved ones. I just wish it was a little more comfortable. read more

The prices for food and water are insane! They don't let you bring in water bottles or anything because they want you to suffer and die from hunger and dehydration. They don't take cash either and the workers will give you the meanest looks ever if you don't have money to give them. I'm sorry but you're already overcharging six dollars for one sticker and I can't afford to buy an eleven dollar hot dog. This place will steal your money quicker than you can blink. Also, the floor was sticky. Tons of messes everywhere. Parking was ass. But overall I came for a DCI competition and it was a nice experience. Alamodome get your shart together!! read more

Great venue on the inside. Nice plaza outside. Terrible signage and accessibility for parking (Lot A had a Singh for public parking but we were told it was permit only). Lot C is on the other side of railroad tracks with a convoluted series of stairs and ramps to get to the plaza and entry. Additionally, there was a golf cart coming down the pedestrian ramp making everyone coming up hug the wall so THEY could get by. It took over 15 minutes to get accessible seating at the box office. Then, the usher called me sir & tried to direct us to the wrong seats in the bowl. Dude, you're in the accessible seating area and you don't know how to read an accessible seat assignment? On a positive note, in-seat ordering is available. The facility is very clean, and the concourse are exceptionally wide. read more

It's been a while since I've been here, but I came here last weekend with Thing Two to see an XFL game. Fun facts: The Alamodome is currently the home of the San Antonio Brahmas of the XFL and the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) Roadrunners. Previously, it was home to the San Antonio Spurs from 1993 to 2002, the San Antonio Texans of the CFL in 1995, and the San Antonio Commanders in 2019. In terms of event venues, this one has seen better days. The concessions are high (just like any other venue like this), but the main stand-out for this venue is its lack of parking for vs. the capacity/amount of fans the location is to hold. Therefore, if you have an event you are going to attend, ensure you are at the venue at a bare minimum an hour prior to event starting, otherwise you must park outside of the venue and be subject to parking at a less than desirable spot on a fly by night and less than safe parking lot. This past weekend wasn't as tough to find parking as the XFL hasn't exactly hit its stride, so the fan base for this just isn't there yet. The food selection here is fairly poor compared to other TX venues of this kind. Therefore, if you are hungry or even hangry, eat before you attend your event here. While this is not in the top 10 venues in TX (well, at least to me, it's not), my advice is to ONLY come for an event that is a "must see." *disabled military vets don't pay for parking here (score for me)! read more

The prices were actually pretty damn good compared to other places I've been including Dallas! Food was average just like any other fingers and pretzels.

I was privileged enough to be able to attend the XFL championship game at the Alamodome. It was the Arlington Renegades vs The DC Defenders. The Alamodome is older and a bit outdated. I still think it's a good place for many types of events. I hope that the city of San Antonio puts money into it and update it in the near future. I'm a big believer in supporting the things we have in San Antonio. Way too many people refuse to support local events and then complain about not getting more in our city. Please have an open mind and be willing to try new things before dismissing it. The Alamodome is a venue people should support and we might be considered for more things in the future. read more

We came here for the Luke Combs concert this past weekend. Let me start by saying, all the workers we talked to were nice and helpful. We ubered there because it was going to be $40 just to park for the event. The beer is $12 each which is crazy, but expected for an event venue like this. It was absolutely packed in there for this event so you have to wait in long lines for the restrooms or for beer/food. Lastly, the seats are pretty small and cramped together so you'll be up close and personal with your neighbor lol. Someone spilled a beer on the floor a few rows above us and it travelled all the way down to where we were at because of the slope of the seats. So the floor was slippery. read more

The Alamodome is a great place to attend an event at. I will say that they offer a bunch of different varieties of things to eat. They have Johnny Rockets, Papa Johns, and your local venue food such as chicken tenders, hot dogs, pretzels and those things. I will add that the seats are a bit small. So you may feel uncomfortable when sitting at an event. But to be honest the view that you get truly isn't a bad one because the area is a smaller one. The restroom are always clean and kept in working condition. It is a cashless facility so be aware to pay with a card. Also parking can be $25 and up to park to be aware if that. read more

Upon entering, the security guard sent us the long way around to find the pit party. Finally found the entrance and walked around. Crazy crowded and not worth my money. But my wife treated.

Tried to go see Elton John in a third world country known as the Alamodome. Instead went to a cigar bar and had a nice time. Unfortunately due to some of the most horrible parking imaginable and complete chaos we drove around for 3 hours and missed the show. Obviously many people were able to attend. We could not. Alamodome you suck so bad that Austin has moved 10 miles closer. You suck so hard that Linda Lovelace is envious. Your infrastructure hasn't improved since 1934. You built a stadium to host 70,000 while having enough parking for 2000. You rely upon the surrounding neighborhood to host parking for Buy One Get One Free Break-In pricing. You block every conceivable way to get to the official parking that I'm now an expert at San Antonio Pac Man. Your roads make Bangladesh look like paradise. The amount of people crushed into one area for such a large stadium is the equivalent of a Covid related stroke the roads are so clogged. Whomever approved to put a stadium in the middle of a neighborhood should be dismembered after a 30 day public flogging from all the ticket holders walking miles in dimly lit streets filled with whispering "Hey park here. It's safe. Only $5 plus your tires and your woman." The cigar was nice and the hotel on the Riverwalk was lovely. read more

Attended a college graduation ceremony at the Alamodome on 05/14/2022. A few FYI(s) about this location: ~parking was $15 per car & they only accepted credit cards as payment. There were a couple of attendants taking your payment when you 1st came in. ~There is security screening before you are allowed in & no big purses are allowed in. If you do bring one in by mistake you either have to take it back to your car or put in a locker that they have on-site. Save yourself the hassle & just don't bring one of you're unsure if your purse is to big. I brought in a small crossbody purse that was okay to bring in. ~once you are in the building you are NOT allowed back in. ~flowers are not allowed to be brought in from outside. We were there for a graduation ceremony & there was a table inside the venue that was selling flowers & other items for the graduates BUT just be warned the flowers do cost an arm & leg! ..okay, not literally :) but $50 for a dozen of roses is steep. ~it was open seating for the graduation event & helpful tip that section 138-146 had better views of the stage Hope this info helps. ~Rebecca out read more

We went recently to a Pink concert here. Wish I had brought binoculars to see the stage. Big screens somewhat helped, but you're limited to what the visual editor puts up on the screen. Seating much better here than at Frost Bank Center, as are the acoustics. May consider coming to future concerts, but definitely just to listen, because affordable seats are screen dependent to see the show. As for Pink, the way she politicized her performance was revolting. I left shortly after she started that trash. Waited for my wife in the hallway outside. We came for musical entertainment, not a political performance rally. She should stick to singing when in concert and keeping her other agenda in another setting. read more

The Alamodome has pretty good events. I've been to XFL games, UTSA game and Home & Garden Show. I don't know if they're trying to save money but it's never cool in there. Seat prices can be a bit pricey when you add on fees and parking. It's pricey compared to other venues with better quality seats and a better quality environment. They need to crank up the A/C during the summer and replace the first few rows of the "nicer" seats. Those seats shake the whole row if one person in that row is shaking and the cup holders don't even fit all the drinks they sell at the venue. Please make it make sense. read more

I recently saw P!nk at this venue. It was my first visit, and for the most part, it was uneventful and enjoyable. I stayed on the Riverwalk, so the location was convenient. I took an Uber to the venue because of the heat, but all the locals I encountered said it would be a short, easy walk. In 100+ temperatures?? Nah... the ride was worth the $7 fee! Anyway, we got there shortly after the venue opened on purpose since we'd never been there before. I'm really glad we did because finding our seats on the main floor was a nightmare!! We were able to visit the restroom, get a snack, and buy merchandise with ease since the venue wasn't very crowded initially. The bathrooms weren't very clean even though the venue had just recently opened. The lady working the register at the concession stand didn't know how to work it and had to find an employee in another section to help her. That was odd... a new or inexperienced employee should always be flanked by a veteran employee who can assist with ease. But we got through it, and all was well. That is until it came time to find our seats. Our seats were on the main floor in Section H, Row 8, Seats 11-12. The entrance is ABOVE the main floor. As first-time visitors, we didn't know this. Several employees told us (and other fans) to take the elevator down to the main floor. We got to the elevator, but there was an employee inside who wouldn't let us enter. After a brief confrontation with him, he finally explained that we had to find the staircase. He directed us to it, but we couldn't find it and had to ask several other employees. Each one seemed to point us in a different direction. There were NO signs providing directions or assistance. It took us over 20 minutes to find the staircase. It was exhausting and highly annoying. Once we found it, there was a very nice Latino employee who told us how to find our seats once we got downstairs. He also gave us directions back to our hotel. He told us to just follow the crowd, which is what he did. Once we found our seats and the night went on without a hitch. Our seats were great and everyone seated around us was very friendly. P!nk was awesome, and we had a blast. The sound was great, and everyone seemed to stay in their seats. There weren't people sneaking up front or blocking the views of other fans. It was a bit hectic leaving since the show was sold out, but it didn't take us long to find the hotel. I'd actually consider seeing another concert at the Alamodome because everything seemed to run so efficiently. They should maybe consider adding more signage and train their employees better, but other than that, the experience was a good one. read more

The Alamodome is a pretty good sports venue. We were there on Friday, Nov 15 for the Boerne Greyhounds versus the Hidalgo Pirates playoff game. The game was great as Boerne won big. It appears the Dome does not like to provide heat when the crowd will not be a capacity crowd. It was very cold and most people kept their jackets on, us included. Being cold somewhat diminished the experience. Also, do food and drink prices have to be so exorbitant? We paid $24 for two hotdogs and two sodas. We'd have paid $15 for a burger and fries from Johnny Rockets, but weren't quite that stupid. The hotdogs were stupid enough. Our advice - eat before you attend an event in the Dome. read more
