Alamo Bowl

The alamo dome is almost unrecognizable compared to when I visited it in the 90s.
They have done a great job keeping it fresh and welcoming to bowl fans. Lets face it, the proximity to the riverwalk is just awesome.
Pro-​tip: do not park in the alamo dome lots! Don’t waste your money or your time people! Park at the rivercenter mall or the parking garage across from the Hyatt. Enjoy the riverwalk before the game. There is a walkway that takes you straight to the Alamo Dome.
Organizers have done a great job of making this bowl extremely fan friendly.

After living in San Antonio for over 8 years I finally had a chance to make it to the Alamo Bowl this past weekend. It was a blast; the game was good, the whole atmosphere of fans was cool. I’m really glad that the Alamo Bowl is a San Antonio tradition. This year the bowl had a great TV time slot over the weekend instead of during the week where most people can’t make it into town. The attendance was high sellout crowd at 64,000 plus in the Alamo Dome in the past 3 years, proving that football can be successful in San Antonio.
This year marked the 17^th game/​year Texas Tech vs. Michigan State; Big 12 vs. Big 10. The Bowl game it self does bring some good NCAA Football to San Antonio. I really like all the tailgating, beer drinking, and action before the game it self. It’s like San Antonio turns a college town for a couple of days. This was the first bowl game I have ever been to, and I am glad that I did finally make it to the Alamo Bowl. I gave the Alamo Bowl 5 stars for bringing some awesome NCAA Football action to San Antonio.
