The Spurs News

The Institute of Texan Cultures property in downtown San Antonio has been floated as a likely site for a new Spurs arena.

Spurs Sports & Entertainment has confirmed it is in negotiations with the city and other parties on an “economic development project” at the Institute for Texan Cultures site at Hemisfair downtown — a location that has been floated for months as a potential location for a new arena for the NBA franchise.

UTSA to raze Institute of Texan Cultures building and construct new home for museum The financial terms and “other incentives” for the unspecified project are still being negotiated, it said. The organization said it has “taken measures” to keep information about the project secret, such as only sharing it on a “need-to-know basis with a limited number of individuals” within the Spurs organization. The city is also trying to withhold information about the move.

What you need to know about a potential Spurs arena in downtown San Antonio The university’s leaders described the 180,000-square-foot building as deteriorating and larger than necessary for the museum, where exhibits are outdated and visitation has declined since the pandemic. Constructing a smaller, modern museum would be less expensive than renovating the Texas Pavilion structure and could generate more foot traffic and make it easier to seek accreditation, they said.

'Next steps re: downtown' — Inside the city’s secret effort to woo Spurs to a new downtown arena The Spurs played at HemisFair Arena for the team’s first 20 seasons, from 1973 to 1993. The facility was eventually razed. Wanting a more fan-friendly, upgraded arena, the team moved to the Alamodome in 1993. The city built the dome in the hopes that it would attract an NFL team, which never materialized.
