MJWalker45 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 There is something that is wrong about having Arena Football in a full size stadium. Based on the hockey setup at the ATT Center, you wouldnt like Arena Football thereAT&T Center also hosts the Stock Show and Rodeo. It could easily fit Arena Football. Alamodome is simply cheaper to rent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I've never been inside but I walked past and all around the alamo dome. It really seems dumpy and certainly not ready to host a major team, like people were advocating for when the Saints were possibly having to move.

If an NFL team had moved there when it opened it would be agitating for a new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove from Austin to SA, and for as much as I was pleasantly surpised by Austin and absolutely loved it, I was equally as disappointed by San Antonio. It's not "bad", but "meh" should probably be the new city motto.

The thing with the river area is that it's only people in town for conventions that actually hang out there, and the little bars and restaurants there seem pretty much set up specifically to cater to conventioneers (sp?) and the few tourists that go there. I mean yeah it's "nice", as in pretty and clean, but totaly devoid of any personality and charm. The "real" downtown was lights out and asleep by 10 PM on a Saturday night.

TheStoicPaisano Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I,wouldn't describe it as manufactured for tourists. For chrissakes you have cholos shanking each other in the Rivercenter Mall, which is a 1/4 mile from the top convention hotel in the city (Grand Hyatt)...and you pass a pair of huge Marriotts on the way! Having spent a ton of time there over the past six years, it is nice for conventioneers every fifth year or so. Just nothing endearing other than the Riverwalk, and you have to deal with the vast homeless population. Some good restaurants can be found.Let's see what the restructuring of 281/E Market does for Dome transportation, because it's a pain in the balls to get there from downtown with it torn up. And it's a complete ghetto east of 281/Dome/Sunset Station...whether you're Caucasian or Mexican, don't let the sun go down on your ass over there.I will say the airport is very efficient, especially now that the T2 construction is completed.

rxmc89 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Totally off topic, here's the park near my new house in South Philly. Not visible but just to the right are the "famous" cheeseteak places that are always on TV.That looks pretty cool. Is it in a safe area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 You're right, we should probably start a new thread to discuss which cheese is the most popular to rub one out with in each city. I'm betting in St. Louis it's blue. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

BBTV Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Shredded cheese? Interesting. I guess you could dip your balls in it while you take care of business with a fleshlight or something. Guess they like it kinky in STL. On topic - I saw several of those coliseum type structures in Europe last year. I was standing next to one in Verona peeking in and wondering if it was structurally sound enough to host an outdoor basketball or hockey game, then I read about the game in Croatia. I don't geek out about things like that normally, but that had to be a hell of an experience, despite the fact that it was probably super uncomfortable and filled with porta potties and vending carts. Off topic - never heard of that cheese, or St. Louis style pizza. Gonna have to find me some. Hopefully it won't turn me into a slack jawed cardinals lover.

Speaking of Milwaukee, here's a rare glimpse of the college football setup for County Stadium. It was used by both Marquette and UWM's football teams at various points, and the smaller crowds those teams drew allowed them to erect temporary seating in the outfield.
