JAMfest events take place each year from coast to coast, along with a handful of international competitions.

What To Know About The Freeman Coliseum

The 2024 JAMfest San Antonio Classic is one of many cheer events headed for San Antonio this year, as multiple venues in the area have been opening their doors to these top-tier competitions.

The Freeman Coliseum is the former home of the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo and the San Antonio Spurs home games, all of which now happen at the adjacent Frost Bank Center. 

The Coliseum itself, constructed in 1949, offers 32,000 square feet of space for events and 10,000 parking spaces for competitors, family, and friends. Its versatility allows for sporting events, concerts, trade shows, the circus, bull riding, and more, with seating up to almost 12,000, depending on the event.

The property, just northeast of downtown San Antonio, also includes the Freeman Exhibition Hall, which provides another 170,000 square feet for additional events and activities. 

For those headed to the San Antonio Classic, the holiday spirit will be in the air, and among the other events also happening in town will be the Christmas Showcase, scheduled for the Freeman Expo Hall on Nov. 23-24.

The Spurs also will be in town Nov. 23 and will be hosting the Golden State Warriors at 7:30 p.m. local time. 

If you only have time to sneak out for a bite to eat, there are hundreds of restaurants within three miles of the venue.
