It's walkable...If you follow the RW north it will take you almost all the way to the Pearl.
Things to do while in San Antonio

Yeah, Probably about 1.5 miles on the RW, maybe a little less on the street level.
My two sons and I are leaving the 26th and going to the Mavs/Pelicans. Wouldn’t get to SA in time to see Monte, so opted to do the game in Dallas.
There were a few comments on the drive earlier. Questions?
1) map app routes 35 to KC then 49 down through Joplin, then on to Dallas from north. Is that better than 35 the whole way into Dallas?
2). Austin. Just stay on 35, or is a route around Austin quicker?

I'd stay on I-35 to Dallas. Should be slightly quicker.
You can bypass the mess that is I-35 in Austin by exiting on the TX-130 toll road before you get to Georgetown. You could take it all the way to I-10 and head west to San Antonio.
Did the Joplin route to the Texas game. Might be shorter but a ton of towns to drive through. If you have to eat or pee every half hour it might be the way you want to go.
Watch Blackfish before contemplating this move. I wouldn't give that place a nickel.
I've been to the one in Orlando, before I knew what was going on. Depressing as hell.
We did that drive from Houston a couple years back. Way easier than going through OKC or Tulsa.
Gotta say this was alot more helpful than the "Do It Like a Local" recommendations on the Alamo Bowl website, which suggested such quaint, local establishments as: Dave and Busters, ****'s Last Resort, Hard Rock Cafe, Margaritaville, Rainforest Cafe and Whataburger
Market square is not a bad walk. We stayed at homewood suites and it was an easy jaunt from that.
Joplin is faster if you're driving through OK at night. There are tons of stop lights in those little towns, and during the day it can add an hour + to your trip.
During the day, I'd stick with I-35. I've made the drive a few times, but the last time going to DFW was the first time I'd hit that part of OK in the daylight. I think we hit every red light possible. Took 35 home and it was faster.
Sorry, there are no B-Bops around here either. Basically, if I want to have a burger and fries some afternoon, is Whataburger any good, or is it a McDonalds with higher prices? Probably will be looking for a few local spots to check out, but I also plan of taking in as much of the Riverwalk as I can, and after a while food is just food after you get above a low budget level. Would like to find an affordable Tex-Mex non-franchise place on the east side of the Riverwalk. (near the Marriott, close to the Alamobowl.)
BTW, I was surprised that the university bowl package does not offer ground transportation from the Marriott to the dome. I will not have any trouble walking it, but it looks like 3/4 of a mile to me. A lot of older fans, or those with mobility issues are going to have to figure something out.
FYI Walmart.com right now has 10% off digital Uber cards. Email delivery and you can pre-load on your account.
Uber?
Like a taxi service where its someone's personal car. You get on your phone, get located, tell it where you want to go. Then it pays them digitally thru your account-paypal, CC, etc.
