Spurs Arena Vote Divides Council | San Antonio News

San Antonio’s Councilman McKee-Rodriguez is backing a public vote on the $489 million Spurs arena funding, despite calling the current deal “horrific.” He wants residents to weigh in with new terms — including revenue sharing, a 50-60 year commitment, and affordable tickets — arguing the city can’t afford this strain amid a growing deficit. Mayor Jones supports the ballot measure, noting Bexar County already approved their portion, but needs five council votes to move forward. Meanwhile, Spurs CEO R.C. Buford urges progress, citing voter approval of the vision last November. The debate heats up as city leaders prepare for November’s election.
