Sadly, no video has ever come out from the San Antonio Spurs pregame entrance that night. Apparently pyrotechnics is the culprit. However, The Alamadome in 1994 didn't just have the standard roof sprinklers we're used to seeing. They essentially have the equivalent of a fire hose that once triggered by fire, just starts shooting gallons of water onto the court. It took quite sometime to get it to shut off. They say around 2,500 gallons was dumped before they got it to stop.
