VERBATIM

San Antonio’s Alamodome may have gotten a new name… the Chick-fil-A Alamodome.

In documents requested by the attorney general and obtained by the San Antonio Express-News, a group of local Chick-fil-A franchisees sought to make that happen.

A year before the airport concessions contract vote, the city was considering whether it could attract a potential suitor to buy the naming rights to the Alamodome.

The franchisees submitted a proposal that included the new name, Chick-fil-A cows on the corner of the stadium holding Eat mor chikin signs for drivers on Interstate 37, and a sitdown Chick-fil-A restaurant inside the stadium.

It’s not clear if that proposal had any chance of becoming reality.
