• San Antonio River Walk - The San Antonio River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, started as a flood-control initiative after a severe flood in 1921.

Completed in 1941, this 15-mile network of pathways and canals is now Texas’ leading tourist attraction.

• Arneson River Theater - Situated on the San Antonio River Walk in Texas, the Arneson River Theater is an outdoor performance venue.

Arneson, the regional engineer for the W.P.A. who secured funding for the Paseo del Rio, the theater features bells added to arches behind the stage, designed by Hugman. In a delayed ceremony, Hugman, known as the “Father of the River Walk,” rang the bells for the first time two years before his passing.

Designed by San Antonio architect O’Neil Ford, it was built as the theme structure for the 1968 World’s Fair, HemisFair ‘68.

Opened on May 15, 1993, it was built at a cost of $186 million to boost the city’s convention traffic and attract a professional football team. It also met the San Antonio Spurs’ need for a larger arena. The Spurs played there for a decade before moving to a new arena, now the Frost Bank Center. The Alamodome’s main tenant is currently the UTSA Roadrunners, with recent tenants including the San Antonio Commanders, San Antonio Brahmas, and San Antonio Talons.
