Bexar County officials voted to move forward on a proposal to relocate the Spurs from the East Side Frost Bank Center to a new arena downtown on Tuesday, according to a report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tpr.org\/economy-and-labor\/2025-06-10\/bexar-county-backs-finance-resolution-tied-to-san-antonio-spurs-relocation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Texas Public Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal is now headed to the state comptroller for a decision that would put the choice in the hands of voters. Officials are proposing a choice between a 2% occupancy tax and a 5% vehicle rental tax to fund the project for voters to choose from in November.<\/p>\n<p>The occupancy and vehicle rental tax are typically referred to as \u201ctourist taxes\u201d and officials stress that local property taxpayers won\u2019t pay for the new arena.<\/p>\n<p>The City of San Antonio\u2019s and Spurs\u2019 financial contributions to the new arena are unknown at this time.<\/p>\n<p>According to the TPR report, if voters approve the increase in taxes, the project would accrue as much as $450 million in tax revenue. The Freeman Coliseum would receive $194 million for renovations complex, and $80 million would go toward the Frost Bank Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO \u2014 The San Antonio Spurs could be getting a new home soon.
