San Antonio Council Keeps $35MM for Spurs Arena District in $442MM Bond, Rejecting Mayor’s Bid to Strip It

San Antonio City Council voted down two amendments from Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones that would have pulled $35 million in arena-district infrastructure out of a $442 million bond headed to voters in 2027, while city officials said a roughly $60 million deal with UTSA for the Spurs arena site is on track to close by year-end.
