Speaker 1 (00:02):
I opened the show today talking about a video that
I saw that was somewhat critical of the fact that
the Alamodome, now thirty five years old or thirty something
years old, is at thirty two years old since it
was built, but thirty five or thirty six since we
voted on it, and how bad or how underwhelming.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's been, basically is what the video said.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It did come into the fact that it does host
UTSA and the Alamo Ball every year and tons of concerts,
but oh, it was supposed to be a football stadium
for the NFL.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Wellings things changed.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
No one saw the Cowboys being sold, nobody saw a
texturem moving out, nobody saw the influx, the influx of
how Arenas would impact the NBA. A lot of different
things happened, and I still think that if the NFL
had it to do over, they would have given San
Antonio the not over Jacksonville. Jacksonville I think has been
a colossal disappointment. Most of the fans there don't go.
(01:01):
The Jaguars have had very poor to fair ownership for
most of their time there, and they're constantly the team
that's going overseas because they can afford to do so.
Since they have a difficulty selling out their games. Even
if the San Antonio team was zero to sixteen, we'd
we would sell out games.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
But that's revision is history.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
But the one thing that kind of got me going
this week was and a couple people brought this to
my attention and then I started reading some of the comments,
was the fact that UTA again and this copy of
this guarantee, you just mark it down for July of
twenty twenty six. Somebody will put on some social media
that UTSA needs to consider it on campus football stadium.
(01:43):
The first thing I want somebody to do that thinks
that is drive out to UTSA and tell me where
you're going to put it. They're running out of room,
they need more land, and I don't think you can
build up. I just don't think you can put a
football stadium on stilts.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I mean, have you seen some of the stuff that
they do overseas, like in Germany, those German engineers.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And well that maybe, well the TSA, it's got a
pretty good engineering department, and maybe they can come up with,
you know, a floating stadium in the sky or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
But I have no idea where you're going to put it.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I mean Elon's here somewhere just right up the road
in Austin. Yes, get like SpaceX on this. I don't know,
but but here's the deal. The University of South Florida
is going to open its new stadium in twenty twenty eight.
They're under construction, maybe twenty seven. They're under construction with
that right now. I want to guess what the price
(02:34):
tag of their somewhat I think it's forty thousand there
about seat. Stadium is going to be on South Florida's campus.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
How much it cost?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, how much is this stadium gonna cost? Again, take
a wild guess, Oh, seven hundred and fifty a half
about half that three hundred and fifty million. And they
think they care about football, Well, they plague right now
in Raymond James Stadium, and they have to share the
stadium with the Bucks. And the Bucks control everything. It's
(03:02):
very much like Temple does with Philadelphia. They're told when
they can show up, they're told when they can you know,
how they can operate, and they just don't have any control.
They can't sell the signage and all that kind of stuff.
And so I kind of get that. So South Florida
wants its own thing. Plus South Florida to Raymond James
Stadium is a good twenty.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Miles, so it's not easy.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It's even further than the UTSA is from the Alamodome,
so it's it's kind of an understandable thing there. But
they have room on their campus. They've got plenty of
empty land. And here's the other thing. Where are you
going to park thirty thousand people? Because basically thirty five
let's say it's thirty five thousand that you average, and
(03:44):
maybe they would if it was on campus, you have
to factor that you're going to have to park about
ten thousand cars, and I don't know where you're going
to do that. Plus you need a basketball arena at
some point, which is going to cost about one hundred
and thirty million, and a baseball stadium that's likely going
to cost about twenty three twenty five million, and a
softball stadium that's probably gonna cost fifteen to twenty million.
(04:04):
So if you're gonna build all of those things, you're
gonna need close to a billion dollars before you're done
spending money. The thing about the Alamodome that I think
makes such a good venue. Is that it's San Antonio's venue.
Do I wish the city was a little bit more
congenial with the fans. Absolutely, they were before COVID, and
after COVID they shut down the parking lot after games.
(04:26):
I'm never getting off that high horse. I'm going to
talk about that as often as I want to, because
somebody needs to do something to keep those parking lots
open for three or four hours after games. People want
to sit there and commission, rate or celebrate when UTSA
plays their games, and the new mayor will and they well,
somebody needs to know, and they need to not just
(04:47):
tell everybody they got to go home. I would dare
somebody to go up to six three in Austin or
wherever they tailgate in Austin.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Go oh, it's an hour after the game. You'll have
to leave.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, good luck with that, or at Kyle Field or
at the McClain Stadium or any place else where football
is played.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So that's kind of the downside.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Jeff Traylor has made the Alamodome an amazing home field advantage.
I will give you the numbers again, twenty nine to
three if you're scoring at home Clemson, Georgia and Alabama
are the only three teams that have a better home
record in the last five years. And I think it's
percentage points. UTSA is right there in the ballpark. So yeah,
(05:28):
I think people have a major revisionist history. Every time
something about the Alamodome comes up. I think that there
is a there's so many things that UTSA needs to
invest in, and a football stadium in twenty years maybe
right thing, then right now, I think the Alamodome is
the best place for them to play. If somebody walked
(05:50):
in the building and handed them a billion dollar check
and another several acres of land near the stadium, Okay,
then you're talking about a different story because then you
could build it all. But you've got to take care
of basketball and baseball, I think before you build a
football stadium. And yeah, and especially when you've got one
of the best, is it is it as appeasing as
(06:12):
well as going into Kyle Field or seeing Kyle Field
in the distance because of its history or our DKR
or any other major college football stadium. Maybe not, but
it's a great home field advantage. And I always use
the two factor because you all know who you are
in August and September it's going to be too hot
(06:33):
in October, it's going to be too windy. In November,
it's going to be too cold, and any other time
it's going to be too something else, and it's going
to be an excuse for you to not go.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So get your tickets.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Make sure that we get to fifty eight thousand for
the Texas State game, and let's continue to have unbelievable
success and hopefully by season's end, UTSA add seven more
wins to that total, and they would make them thirty
six into if they win all their home games and
take care of the conference championship game, should they host that.
(07:07):
So yeah, and again just mark it down. We tell
this is what July July eighth. YEP, sometime in July
next year, somebody will put something on Twitter. When is
u TSA going to get another get their own football stadium.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
They're not there. Their home is where they're at. It's
it's the most convenient as well. Yes, as much as you.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Propos and argued that the Spurs should look at something
more up towards your neck of the woods, well yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
They're not coming to They're not coming to to Boverdi
or to North San Antonio.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It's in the perfect spot.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Well, and it's also accessible to everyone. It's relatively easy
access to get back on the highway to go home,
regardless depending on where you're going. Uh and and uh
and you know, they have a football game every Friday
night at Ferris Stadium and from pretty much west of
Bandera Road to at least east of Houseman just getting
ten or twelve thousand fans out of that stadium is
(08:03):
a hard time.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And there's just there's just no easy access for any
of that.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
All right, let's talk about the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Should
we move from sixty four or sixty eight to another
team that's coming up? It's the Andy Everage Show on
the ticket
I opened the show today talking about a video that
