Construction schedule and activities shall be coordinated to work around the daily Alamodome operations, with both planned and future events taking place in the facility.
Project design is complete; early works construction began in January of 2016 with overall substantial completion scheduled on or before November 1, 2017. Final completion will occur by November 30, 2017. Below is a list of key construction elements for the project.
