DALLAS (AP) -- The Big 12 football championship is returning to San Antonio's Alamodome on Dec. 4.

The site of the title game has shifted between North and South cities each year. St. Louis was the host in 1996 and 1998; the game was played in the Alamodome in 1997.

"San Antonio is a great destination for fans with great atmosphere and many local attractions," Big 12 commissioner Kevin L. Weiberg said Wednesday.

Nebraska beat Texas A&M in the 1997 game, which was attended by an Alamodome-record crowd of 64,824.

"The football championship game in 1997 was a tremendous success," said Big 12 senior associate commissioner Donnie Duncan. "We look forward to another one in 1999."
