BEXAR COUNTY, Texas — Voters across Bexar County are preparing for a high-stakes decision in November: whether to approve venue tax funding for a proposed $1.3 billion downtown arena for the San Antonio Spurs.

Known as Project Marvel, the ambitious development would reshape the city’s sports and entertainment landscape—but not without stirring controversy.

The proposal hinges on redirecting public funds, specifically venue tax revenues, to help finance the new arena’s construction. 

Meanwhile, Judge Peter Sakai has taken an active role in community engagement, fielding questions and urging residents to vote with full understanding of the project’s implications. He emphasized that this decision could shape the county’s economic trajectory for years to come.

Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones and members of the San Antonio City Council have echoed calls for caution, with the mayor advocating for a “strategic pause” in negotiations with the Spurs.

The council is exploring ways to delay final approval, allowing time for broader public input and deeper financial analysis.

If approved, Project Marvel would secure a long-term home for the Spurs and potentially elevate San Antonio’s status as a premier sports and entertainment destination. 

With the November vote drawing closer, both sides are ramping up campaigns to inform, persuade, and mobilize voters. Yard signs, social media campaigns, and public events are fueling a county-wide debate over whether Project Marvel represents a bold investment—or a costly gamble.

As the Spurs’ future in downtown San Antonio hangs in the balance, so too does a broader conversation about civic priorities, fiscal responsibility, and the role of public funding in private ventures.

For Bexar County voters, the upcoming ballot will not only determine the fate of a new stadium—it will set the tone for how the community values transparency, equity, and long-term economic planning in one of Texas’s fastest-growing urban areas.
