Valero Alamo Bowl Tickets

The Alamo Bowl is a major college bowl played in San Antonio, Texas, and it is quickly becoming one of the top games on the college bowl schedule. It has been played every year since ‘93 and is currently sponsored by San Antonio-based Valero Energy Corporation. The game is played in the Alamodome — a 65,000 seat arena situated just outside of downtown San Antonio and only a mile away from the historic Alamo. It’s never too early to order Alamo Bowl tickets for this year.

For years the Alamo Bowl was a contest between the Big 12 and Big Ten, but the Alamo Bowl currently features the third choice Big 12 team facing off against the second choice Pac-12 team. Traditionally it has been played at the end of December. Last year’s Alamo Bowl featured the Texas Longhorns and the Oregon State Beavers. Led by quarterback David Ash, the Longhorns rallied with fourteen unanswered points in the fourth quarter to stun Oregon State in San Antonio. Texas’ defense set a bowl record with 10 sacks, including 4.5 from Alex Okafor. Beavers running back Storm Woods had 118 yards on the ground but it wasn’t enough to take down the Longhorns. The Alamo Bowl has featured numerous college legends and pro stars that have gone on to capture the game’s MVP honors. Players like Justin Blackmon, Jeremy Maclin, Colt McCoy, Lavar Arrington, and Drew Brees have all been named MVP of the Alamo Bowl.
