San Antonio Travel and Leisure Guide 2008 - (Page 46) From Tees to Tip-Off From left: San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, Charro Ranch and Quarry Golf Course. MINOR LEAGUES, MAJOR FUN For value-priced family fun, it’s hard to beat the minor league baseball San Antonio Missions, who play their spring and summer home games before crowds at Nelson Wolff Stadium just west of downtown. (A seat in the picnic pavilion and the nightly Puffy Taco race are regular rites of passage for Missions fans everywhere.) The San Antonio Rampage heats up the ice with hardhitting minor league ice hockey and quite the loyal following during the regular season and subsequent playoffs. Looking for a spectator sport outside the traditional court or rink? Check out the annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo held each spring at Freeman Coliseum, where the sport’s best cowboys compete for top dollar and the music industry’s best entertainers compete to entertain crowds. If watching from the sidelines is not your style, don’t miss the annual Rock ‘N’ Roll San Antonio Marathon held in and around downtown in November with 70 live bands, thousands of runners and even more fans to root them on. It wouldn’t be true South Texas without horses, rodeo and the brave Charros – and that’s exactly what you’ll 46 VISITSANANTONIO COM O. find at the San Antonio Charros De Bejar. Billed as an Adventure in Old Mexico in San Antonio, it’s an outdoor journey into colorful horse heritage. From tees to tip-offs and everything in between, San Antonio truly does have it all covered – whether you are a golfer, sports fan, participant or just a “champion” at heart.
