Alamodome. This 65,000-seat, $186 million sports arena is a busy place. Home of the Valero Alamo Bowl each December, featuring teams from the Big 12 and Big 10 conferences, the site hosts other sporting events as well as concerts, trade shows, and conventions. The Alamodome is the only place in North America with two permanent Olympic-size ice rinks under the same roof. If you're not here during a game, you can still visit during a behind-the-scenes tour, which must be scheduled in advance. 100 Montana St., just east of HemisFair Park, across I–37, Downtown, San Antonio, Texas, 78203. 210/207--3652; www.alamodome.com. $20. Mon.–Fri. 8–5.
