The San Antonio City Council has approved a US$1.2 million contract to treat mold within the city’s Alamodome stadium, San Antonio-Express News reports.

According to the Alamodome website, the 64,000-seat, domed, column-free stadium opened in May 1993, at a cost of approximately $186 million. Owned and operated by the city of San Antonio, it was formerly the home of the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs and is the current home of the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) Roadrunners football team.

Water leakage has caused damage to 3,160 square feet of ceiling within the 30-year-old facility, mainly above corner stairwells on its fifth floor. Patricia Muzquiz Cantor, San Antonio’s director of convention and sports facilities, told San Antonio-Express the problem was discovered over the summer. The dome itself has not been damaged.

In a statement, Alamodome spokesman Richard Oliver said, “Storm water has been entering the walls at several areas, including the transitions at dissimilar cladding components, control joints, cap flashings, perimeter flashings/flashing joints, and columns.”

Muzquiz Cantor emphasized that attendees of the stadium shouldn’t be worried. “I don’t think there are any health and safety concerns for any of our patrons,” she said.

Houston, Texas-based Cotton Commercial USA has been contracted to do the mold remediation. The work will include the removal of drywall, a deep cleaning to the interior wall, sanitization, and, according to Oliver, “the complete demolition of all hazard areas.”

Muzquiz Cantor previously told the San Antonio-Express that the Alamodome is in need of “substantial renovation” if it hopes to vie successfully for major entertainment and sporting events.

“To remain competitive, both the Alamodome and the convention facilities will require substantial capital investments,” Muzquiz Cantor said.
