Officials at the Alamodome said this week that they tried to bring Taylor Swift's "The Eras" tour to the Alamodome, but scheduling conflicts interfered.
The story was first reported by the San Antonio Business Journal.
Richard Oliver, communications manager for the Alamodome and similar city facilities, said the dome's crowded schedule of 36 major events a year just did not make a Tay-Tay concert possible.
Downtown hotels, restaurants, bars and other businesses could have used the economic boost "Swifties" could have provided.
But, he added, the Alamodome, which is marking its 30th anniversary, landed some other big concerts earlier this year, including Pink and Guns N' Roses.
And talks have taken place with the Eagles and the Foo Fighters to bring those concerts here.
The dome has pumped a total of $4 billion into the local economy during its history.
