The
Facilities
The Alamodome boasts the very latest in dome engineering with
column-free expanses, 425 video monitors and full
accessibility for disabled visitors. It's a multipurpose
facility that seats up to 65,000 and is expandable to
72,000-plus seats. The Dome is home to the world champion San
Antonio Spurs, host facility of college football's Alamo Bowl
and location for everything from concerts to trade shows.
Getting There
The Alamodome is situated just off Interstate 37, east of
downtown; exit Durango Blvd /Alamodome. If lacking an
automobile--no problem. Two VIA routes from downtown will drop
you off a couple of blocks from the Alamodome: Route 26 stops
on the Montana side and Route 28 on the Durango side. VIA
Transit also offers Park and Ride options. |

The
Team
Named after the Congress Avenue Bats, the Austin Ice Bats have
been a popular team since their beginning in 1996. Every year,
the Travis County Expo Center mysteriously turns into the Bat
Cave, home of this minor league hockey team.
At the Game or Not
If you can't make the game, you can always turn your radio
dial to KJCE 1370-AM to listen. If you go to the game,
depending on where you sit, you might want to bring
binoculars. Don't bring noisemakers or laser pointers. |

You
Can Bet on It
When the lights of Las Vegas glow in your mind but are just
too far away to see, bring your wallet and your best bets to
Retama for live thoroughbred horse racing. Open daily for
televised simulcast racing from other tracks across the
country, the park accomodates wagering on races throughout the
day.
Nighttime Is the Right Time
Of course, the best time to visit is on live race nights, when
you can hang out on the ground level and watch the horses
stampede across the finish line right before your eyes. The
multi-level grandstand accommodates 20,000 visitors and
includes food courts, the Terrace Dining Room restaurant and a
sports bar. |

No
Popularity Problem
The San Antonio Missions boast one of the best attendance
records in the AA Texas League and what they may lack in
big-name superstars they make up for with entertainment value.
Many Games in One
Missions games are notorious for their inter-inning
festivities. Along with the standard T-shirt giveaways and the
timeless Dot Race, fans can enjoy such on-field promotions as
Sing For Your Supper, Dizzy Bat Races and Football Frenzy,
where two overweight audience members play football in mock
sumo outfits.
If you've ever dreamed of having your child picked at random
to chase Henry the Puffy Taco around the basepaths, Missions
baseball is for you. The Missions are an inexpensive way to
treat the family to an enjoyable evening of professional
baseball. And if you can't catch the game in person, listen to
the live action on KKYX-680 AM. |
