Alamo Stadium is a piece of history for the entire city.</p><p>The $35 million in renovations is the largest since the stadium was built in 1939 using rocks from the quarry that is now the zoo.</p> Fri, 14 Dec 2012 18:04:50 +0000 Joey Palacios 3296 at http://tpr.org SAISD's Alamo Stadium Getting Facelift
