Let’s break down the facts on the proposed $1.3 billion downtown Spurs arena and where the funding is actually coming from:
- Spurs Ownership ($500M+): Private investment covering all construction cost overruns.
- City of San Antonio ($489M): Funded strictly by downtown arena revenue and specialized zones—$0 taken from street repairs, public safety, or our city budget deficit.
- Bexar County ($311M): Covered by visitor hotel and rental car taxes—not local property taxes.
My priority is total transparency and protecting your tax dollars. Watch the video for the full breakdown! 🏀
