Without the Alamodome quite a few of these events would not happen in San Antonio. It seems to be something you want to keep, unless something better were going to be built.

Seems like something we would want to keep... But is it really?
HS All-Star games are minimally impactful.
AlamoBowl is a nice draw, with quality economic impact.
Dallas Cowboys use facility rent-free, so that is a money-loser.
Final Four is never coming back.
I challenge anyone to name the last concert that was held there.
There are, of course, home and garden shows and boat shows, but last i checked plenty of cities without 65,000 seat stadiums could host those.
