San Antonio Brahmas Bio
San Antonio Brahmas Info
The San Antonio Brahmas are one of the new additions to the XFL in 2023 for its revamped season. The San Antonio Brahmas were established in 2022 by Dwayne Johnson, Redbird Capital and Dany Garcia. They replaced the LA Wildcats who were part of the inaugural XFL season in 2023. The San Antonio Brahmas are named to honor Dwayne Johnson’s personal mascot, the Brahma bull, a popular cattle breed in North America. The San Antonio Brahmas compete in the South Division of the XFL. They are currently the only professional outdoor football team based out of San Antonio, with the only other football team being the San Antonio Gunslingers competing in the National Arena League (an indoor football league).
Location, Stadium, and Team colors
The San Antonio Brahmas are based in San Antonio, Texas. They join the San Antonio Spurs (NBA) and the San Antonio FC (MLS) as a sports team representing the city of San Antonio.
The Alamodome
The home stadium for the San Antonio Brahmas is the Alamodome. The stadium used to be the home stadium for the San Antonio Spurs as it was designed to be easily converted into a basketball or hockey arena. The arena's seating capacity is 20,662 people, but when the top level is opened, that number rises to 39,500. The stadium can also be converted into a more intimate, enclosed theater area with a capacity of up to 11,000 people (branded as the "Illusions Theater"), employing floor space and the north grandstand. The stadium is also home to the University of Texas at San Antonio Roadrunners college football team.
The San Antonio Brahmas’ team colors are yellow, black and gray. Their jersey is primarily yellow and gray and their logo also reflects these colors. The jerseys for the San Antonio Brahmas are designed by Under Armor, the official jersey provider for all XFL teams.

How do the San Antonio Brahmas compare to the other XFL teams?
The San Antonio Brahmas are a new addition to the XFL in 2023. They are considered to be a threat, especially with Hines Ward as their head coach. The former Pro Bowl receiver and Super Bowl winner with the Pittsburgh Steelers is coaching the Brahmas in his first-ever head coaching stint. However, the Brahmas lack impressive wide receivers but the experience of running back Kalen Ballage can make up for it.
Who is the owner of the San Antonio Brahmas?
Dwayne "The Rock '' Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Gerry Cardinale are the XFL's sole team owners. In 2020, Dwayne Johnson's Alpha Acquico LLC, Vince Mcmahon's Red Bird Capital, Dany Garcia, and Gerry Cardinale bought the XFL from its previous owner. Since then, they have made significant changes to the league, which was relaunched in 2023.
How much did the San Antonio Brahmas cost to purchase?
The San Antonio Brahmas are owned by the XFL itself. The teams competing in the XFL including the Brahmas were all purchased by Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia when they bought over the XFL from Vince McMahon for $15 million. The Brahmas even have the Brahma bull as their logo which is a homage to the Brahma bull which Dwayne Johnson considers his mascot.
How many championships have the San Antonio Brahmas won?
The Xtreme Football League will have a new season in 2023. Due to COVID-19 limitations, the 2020 XFL season was unable to be completed in its entirety. The San Antonio Brahmas will compete for the first available XFL Championship.
