| H.R. No. 2310 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Alamodome in San Antonio celebrated its 30th | ||
| anniversary on May 15, 2023, and this occasion offers a welcome | ||
| opportunity to celebrate the venue's history and achievements; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Owned and operated by the City of San Antonio, the | ||
| Alamodome first opened its doors on May 15, 1993; in the decades | ||
| since, the stadium has presented a wide variety of sporting events, | ||
| including international soccer matches, world-title boxing fights, | ||
| Major League Baseball games, and NCAA championships; moreover, the | ||
| Valero Alamo Bowl football game has taken place at the Alamodome for | ||
| all 30 years of its existence, and the stadium serves as home to The | ||
| University of Texas at San Antonio Roadrunners football team; in | ||
| addition to athletic competitions, the venue has hosted myriad | ||
| trade shows, conventions, and special events, as well as concerts | ||
| from world-famous musicians, such as Bad Bunny and Elton John; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Alamodome has welcomed more than 33 million | ||
| visitors over the years, generating $2.7 billion in direct spending | ||
| with a nearly $4 billion fiscal impact on San Antonio; almost half | ||
| of all Alamodome attendees travel from outside the metropolitan | ||
| area, making the stadium an important part of San Antonio's | ||
| thriving tourism economy; the city's continuing efforts to appeal | ||
| to visitors are furthered by the work of the Texas Legislative | ||
| Tourism Caucus, a bicameral, bipartisan caucus chaired by State | ||
| Representative Barbara Gervin-Hawkins; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For the past three decades, the Alamodome has played | ||
| a vital role in the culture and economy of San Antonio and the Lone | ||
| Star State, and it is a pleasure to join in honoring the stadium on | ||
| the occasion of this notable milestone in its history; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the 30th anniversary of the | ||
| Alamodome in San Antonio and extend to all those associated with the | ||
| stadium sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Alamodome as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
| Gervin-Hawkins | ||
