Alamo Dome was built to attract an NFL team way back, but Jerry Jones the owner of the Cowboys is very influential and will never allow an NFL team to call San Antonio home because San Antonio is a huge Cowboys fan hub, might be their biggest outside of the greater Dallas area. Great video as always!

Went on vacation once to San Antonio and they said on the tour we took that it's the second oldest city in the US... After my State's San Augustine Florida. They have incredible caves outside of the city that you can go in and see things that have been there forever!

The Alamo Dome was also built to include a CFL team. In which the San Antonio Texans of the CFL played one season there led by QB David Archer. The video host failed to acknowledge this long forgotten fact

@jessicacolegrove4152 Ай бұрын
honestly if we ever got a NFL or MLB team the best place for the stadium wouldn't be in San Antonio but rather northern New Braunfels or southern San Marcos. as this would allow the team to market itself to both San Antonio and Austin. As for MLS its not gona happen anytime soon as due to Austin FC

Your spoken AND WRITTEN words define whom you are and what you represent. So far, your silly little misspelled words that attempt to crudely invent abbreviations of words that do not exist are representing you very poorly and as a destitute without a language to speak and write correctly.

That actually sounds about right the one with wolf stadium. Why else would you build a stadium next to an air base.
@gregsells8549 Ай бұрын
That base is the former Kelly AFB, now split between Lackland AFB and Port San Antonio. Near what had been Kelly's main gate is Edgewood Memorial Stadium, home of the Kennedy Rockets and Memorial Minutemen. Randolph AFB has a small stadium on its premises belonging to Randolph High School, home of the Ro-Hawks, not far from D.W. Rutledge Stadium. Harlandale Memorial Stadium, home of the Harlandale Indians and McCollom Cowboys, adjoins Stinson Municipal Airport. And spectators at Commalander Stadium get a view of San Antonio International Airport.

Alamo Stadium is owned by the San Antonio ISD, whose logo is the Alamo with an apple, not South San ISD. There's also an adjacent arena called Alamo Convocation Center. "The Old Rockpile," as Alamo Stadium is nicknamed, boasts a mural at its main gate depicting the history of sport in San Antonio along with a sign with the slogan, "Dedicated to the use of a free and happy people." When you get to Austin, please include House Park, even though its capacity is under 10,000. Austin ISD's logo is an apple with the Texas Capitol dome. The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo still holds some events in Freeman Coliseum, while Frost Bank Center hosts the main rodeo performances and other activities are in the adjacent barns and lots.

Just saying Texans aren't "proud" of the battle of the Alamo like it claims at the beginning. The battle of the Alamo was a massacre by Mexican forces at the Alamo. Texas lost the battle. The battle cry "remember the Alamo" was used by texan soldiers to remember the horors the Mexican army commited there and motivate Texans to fight harder and have no mercy. It was a turning point in the Texas revolution but its used more in the way that "never forget" is used for 9/11
