They couldn't, because of the rodeo, that's why they haven't hosted since 1996.
Here's some info on a separate upgrade regarding the concessions.

If I was a family man then I'm sure San Antonio would be just swell. If I'm paying for airfare for both me and my girl I want it to be to an exciting/vibrant city such as LA, Chi, NYC, NO, Miami, etc.
If I was married and had kids I'm sure SA would be perfect, and truth be told that's probably most of the people attending. Just not my personal preference, tbh
Check your own post history.
I live in San Antonio and love the place. I'm a Spurs season ticket holder and have been to dozens of events at the Alamodome. It's not hating on San Antonio to accept the reality that the NBA All-Star game is a pipe dream. When your potential bid starts with the fact that your NBA arena is unavailable, you're pretty well screwed.
Who do you think the NBA is targeting during AS weekend? Young guys with girlfriends? Yeah, there's a huge profit to be made from that target demo.
No, they're gonna go after families. Families that come in and spend on tickets and merch and other things.
A guy with a girlfriend is a bonus for them.
But honestly, outside of the french qt, you honestly think NO is vibrant? lol
Anyway, bro, spend your money however you want and keep your opinion on SA but guess what, there's a reason the Final Four came to SA four times. There's a reason so many fans come in from out of state to watch the AlamoBowl, there's a reason the dome hosts so many events that yearly brings people into the city who return.
But hey, you and your girl can chill wherever you like.
Bro, you're the one making the claim, burden of proof is on you.Check your own post history.
That's your opinion and you're en led to it.I live in San Antonio and love the place. I'm a Spurs season ticket holder and have been to dozens of events at the Alamodome.

You're en led to your dreams, I've said as much. You're the one that keeps trying to make a case for something that all relevant evidence argues against.
I know I never argued with you over this because never have the Spurs made their intentions known i don't believe.
The thing is, you argue evidence for criteria you've made up. Show me the NBA's criteria for picking a NBA team and if they match yours then you got me, otherwise...You're en led to your dreams, I've said as much. You're the one that keeps trying to make a case for something that all relevant evidence argues against.
And there are reasons why it hasn't been here since 2008. The NCAA has named the Final Four locations through 2016. It's coming to Texas in 2011 (Houston), 2014 (Arlington), and 2016 (Houston, again). Indy got it in 2010 and will get it again in 2015.
The NCAA has spoken quite clearly. It found San Antonio's bids wanting.
Those aren't opinions, those are facts.
Amnesia, I suppose.
The evidence is the sites chosen. It doesn't get any clearer than that.
Yes, that's a different case altogether. The NCAA has criteria and that criteria excludes the Alamodome now. That's understandable.
Those criteria have nothing to do with the NBA and the ASG. The NCAA wants as many people it can get packed into these new football stadiums. The NBA is content with 18k arenas.
But my point was, the NCAA isn't returning to a city if it doesn't like it or isn't making money or getting complaints.
That was directed towards John and not you.
Alamodome?
WTF
??
Really? Do tell.
The NCAA has criteria that precludes the selection of the Alamodome, yet San Antonio submitted bids for future events anyway?
Please...
The NBA isn't bringing the ASG back to San Antonio. It doesn't make any sense.
Sup troll....
Hey buddy
A blow-up doll doesnt count as a girl....
Anyway, It would be awesome if they could pull it off because I could actually attend the events and everything now that I'm older. I was only 8 in 1996. But I highly doubt it happens...
Huh? I'm saying the Alamodome is not longer a viable candidate for the men's final four. That's understandable.
The NCAA wants newer venues that can hold more people.
There's only one Buddy.
I'd be interested in why you think that.
I honestly don't see what what would preclude it from happening.
There's only one Buddy.
I think Mel is right in this argument, but you're still alright in my book cause you're a CoCo fan
I can see it now...
Dunk contest...
"GRIFFIN THROWS THE BALL OFF THE CURTAIN!..."
You are kidding right ? Being sarcastic ? Because that is probably the most uninformed opinion I've read on here.
Besides hosting 2 NFL games and being a temporary home for the Spurs, the Alamodome has hosted numerous College football and high school games, an All-Star NBA game as well as many other events.
It has easily paid for itself and did so many years ago.
