The city was deeply divided over whether to approve public funds for a stadium. Former San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros put his political weight behind the project and rallied support from city and business leaders.
Cisneros was in his final year as the city’s mayor and pushed for the Alamodome to be approved in 1989. He was the catalyst and driving force behind the building.
The city was deeply divided over whether to approve public funds for a stadium. Cisneros put his political weight behind the project and rallied support from city and business leaders. “This is where the Spurs won their first championship. This is where we’ve had NCAA Final Fours multiple times. We would have missed all of that, and I don’t know when it might have happened again,” said Cisneros.
Cisneros believes the Alamodome was a major gamble that paid off despite the risks of building the facility without a primary tenant or NFL franchise.
