Battle of the Alamodome: Rising programs UTSA, UIW ready to fight for San Antonio
When UTSA and UIW face off on Saturday evening, more than a football game will be up for grabs.
SAN ANTONIO -- On Aug. 31, the Alamodome will play host to a game unlike any other in the history of San Antonio football. For the first time, the city will be split as the two Division I football programs face off in a battle for San Antonio.
The contenders could not be more different. UTSA is a massive public institution with more than 32,000 students. Incarnate Word, a smaller regional religious school, hosts barely 10,000 students. In the short football history of these two programs, they’ve never been peers. But on Aug. 31, those lines will be erased, and replaced by pylons.
