Why Karol G concert sparked dispute between UTSA, San Antonio over Alamodome access
UTSA and UTRGV will both skip their Friday walkthroughs at the Alamodome after late reshuffling, but the Roadrunners anticipate no further issues this season.
A dispute arose between UTSA and San Antonio over access to the Alamodome for walkthroughs before a college football game. UTSA and UTRGV did not hold walkthroughs at the Alamodome, opting for an alternate practice field. The city had planned a Karol G concert that required significant setup and made clearing the venue difficult.
City officials agreed months ago that walkthroughs would not be available on that particular Friday. UTSA was initially warned last Friday, but by Thursday learned that the city had hired extra personnel to prepare the Alamodome for the walkthrough. The city expressed its commitment to supporting UTSA, despite the confusion over timelines.
UTSA coach Jeff Traylor emphasized the importance of a proper football field for practice. The Alamodome's license agreement allows walkthroughs up to 24 hours before each game, but the city claims they have never needed to rely on contract language.
