The Alamodome promised improvements after complaints about concessions marred an otherwise impressive experience for many fans at the inaugural Alliance of American Football game on Saturday featuring the new San Antonio Commanders.

"Unlike our San Antonio Commanders, we fumbled a bit," an online statement from the city-operated venue says. "To shorten the wait for food & beverage, we're adding more staff and additional concession stands for the next game."

Still, the turnout of 27,857 fans to watch the Commanders 15-6 victory against the San Diego Fleet "exceeded all expectations," the statement said.

Along with complaints about long lines to buy food and drinks that caused some fans to miss large portions of the game, others asked why beer vendors were not available in the stands so seated guests could purchase alcohol.

San Antonians replied to the post on Facebook with either appreciation or complaints about other aspects of the game time experience, like parking and menu options.

"Thanks for saying something," Facebook user Kim Pinder replied. "I'll give you a second chance now. Please don't disappoint."
