SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio is preparing for a busy weekend with Paul McCartney’s return to the Alamodome and Dia de los Muertos festivities slated to welcome more than 100,000 people.

“Our priority and our focus for this weekend is for everybody to have an enjoyable, memorable experience downtown so we encourage everyone to plan ahead,” said City Manager Erik Walsh during a press event outside the Alamodome.

The last time San Antonio welcomed such a massive crowd was in April for the men’s Final Four between the University of Houston and Duke University.

For longtime San Antonians, McCartney’s Saturday night concert brings a bit of nostalgia. Paul McCartney performed on May 29, 1993, just days after the Alamodome opened to a crowd of nearly 50,000 fans.
