History

The Alliance San Antonio charter team of the Alliance of American Football spring league was announced on June 21, 2018. Also, the league announced former San Diego Chargers coach Mike Riley as head coach and former Dallas Cowboys fullback Daryl Johnston as General Manager of the team.^[8]^[9] The western four teams' names and logos were revealed on September 25 with San Antonio as the Commanders.^[10] The name is a tribute to San Antonio's military history, with maroon and silver representing the city and the small swords carried by military officers, respectively.^[11]^[12]

The final 52-man roster was set on January 30, 2019.^[13] The team's first game was a 15–6 win at home against the San Diego Fleet on Saturday, February 9, 2019.^[14]

The Commanders, who drew an average of approximately 27,720 fans to each home game, were by far the best-attended team in the AAF.^[7]

The league was suspended on April 2, 2019, with about 20 minutes left in the Commanders' practice. "It ended in the blink of an eye. Like that," Riley said later.^[15]

The next year, the XFL began discussions about relocating one of its eight teams to San Antonio;^[16] this would eventually bear fruit with the San Antonio Brahmas in 2023.^[17]
