Part of the process included working closely with tenants including UTSA and the Valero Alamo Bowl in review- ing plans and participating in the creation of a socially distanced master ticketing manifest that would address all the needs of football as well as all other events. The final Reopening Plan includes many new protocols, such as touchless opera- tions in ticket taking, parking POS system, mobile food ordering, heavy sanitation, mandatory masks, and temperature checks. The facility was fortunate to receive CARES Act funding, but staying within budget and accomplish everything needed to create a safe COVID-19 ready facility was still a challenge. Getting creative, a 3D printer was purchased, enabling the in-house fabrication of hundreds of sup- plies including forearm door openers and wall mounted hand wipe dispensers for a fraction of the cost and resulting in thousands of dollars of savings. Patrons received new protocols positively and the Alamodome has hosted two UTSA Football games with no incidents. Another UTSA vs. Army football game on will take place on October 17th, a Davis vs. Santa Cruz boxing match on October 31st, and four days of Disney On Ice performances in November followed by other large events scheduled in the first quarter 2021.
