UTSA and UTRGV skip Alamodome walkthroughs following concert schedule dispute
Summary

UTSA and UTRGV canceled their scheduled Friday walkthroughs at the Alamodome ahead of their matchup this weekend. The change resulted from a scheduling conflict involving a concert by Karol G, which required extensive setup at the venue. UTSA officials and city representatives provided conflicting accounts regarding when the school was notified that the stadium would be unavailable for the customary pregame practice. City officials claimed the arrangement was determined months ago, while a UTSA spokesperson stated the university was only informed of the restriction late last week. Although the city eventually secured enough staff to prepare the field by Thursday, both teams had already finalized alternate practice plans. The Alamodome is scheduled to host additional events before future UTSA home games, though officials stated the facility will remain available for walkthroughs moving forward.
