Nominations Now Closed for 2024 San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame

The San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame is a partnership between San Antonio Sports, San Antonio Express-News and the City of San Antonio. It was founded in 1995 and recognizes those who have made an impact in the world of sports, either through outstanding athletic achievements or outstanding contributions to athletic programs, and have ties to San Antonio.

Nominations must be received by July 9 to be considered. Nominees must have lived in the greater San Antonio area and have made an impact in their sport, either by competing at the highest possible level or by helping others to do so.

If the nominee is not a greater San Antonio native, his or her primary athletic fame must have come while living in the area. Those still actively participating in their sport are not eligible for consideration. It is not necessary to re-nominate people already on the list below.

Some nominees from past years have been removed from the list because they did not receive the minimum number of votes and will not be eligible for consideration for three years.

Names submitted will be entered into consideration for nomination if they are received by the deadline of July 9.

Once all nominations are received, the selection committee will choose the top five candidates in various categories. The committee's recommendations are then sent to the San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame board of directors for final approval. The class of 2024 will be announced in the fall with the formal induction ceremony scheduled for May 13, 2024. Plaques of San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame members are on display at the Alamodome.
