BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In November 2014, the NCAA selected the City of San Antonio to host the NCAA Men's College Basketball Final Four Tournament in 2018 at the Alamodome. A contributing factor of the City winning the bid relied on the integrated nature of the Alamodome and Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, along with the City's commitment to have the Alamodome's renovations substantially completed by November 1, 2017.
The Project includes the demolition and expansion of the Alamodome's north plaza, expansion of the concourses at plaza level on the east and west sides of the facility, renovation of locker rooms and IT upgrades, to include scoreboards, ribbon boards and an associated control room. 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.
