San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones is rallying city voters to decide on a $489 million bond proposal for the new Spurs arena, arguing residents deserve a direct say since they’re already funding part of the project through county taxes. While Bexar County approved $311 million in November 2025, the mayor insists the city’s financial commitment hasn’t been voted on — and questions whether the community benefits package ($2.5M/year) is enough. Council members like Marc Whyte warn another vote could derail the entire $1.3 billion deal, especially as San Antonio faces a looming budget deficit. If rejected, the sports district project could collapse, leaving both city and team back at square one.
