Dodgers, Rangers to invade Alamodome for two exhibition games next March.

The Dodgers announced that they will play two exhibition games against the Texas Rangers in San Antonio, Texas, March 20 and 21, 2015.

This is the third year for the event, dubbed the “Big League Weekend,” a two-game Major League Baseball exhibition hosted at the Alamodome in Downtown San Antonio.  The games will be played on Friday, March 20 (5 p.m. PST) and Saturday, March 21 (11 a.m.). Tickets go on sale Friday, November 14.

The Dodgers are also scheduled to play split-squad games against the Oakland A’s and Colorado Rockies in Arizona March 20 and 21, respectively.

According to event organizers, more than 75,000 fans packed the Alamodome when the Rangers hosted the San Diego Padres in the inaugural Big League Weekend in 2013.  It was the first baseball event in the building’s 20-year-history. Last year, the Rangers hosted the Houston Astros.

The Dodgers were the Major League affiliate of the Double-A San Antonio Missions from 1977-2000.
