Overview
- Proposition B passed with about 52% support, authorizing up to $311 million in county venue taxes for a new downtown arena, alongside a city commitment of roughly $489 million and a Spurs pledge of at least $500 million plus all cost overruns.
- Proposition A also passed, dedicating an estimated $192 million in venue-tax revenue to renovate the Frost Bank Center, Freeman Coliseum and surrounding grounds to support year‑round rodeo and related events.
- Officials said venue taxes drawn from hotels and rental cars will fund the county share, and the city’s contribution does not require a public vote under state law.
- There is no firm construction timeline; Spurs leaders say they are at the start of design, and the team’s lease at the Frost Bank Center runs through 2032 with completion expected in the early 2030s if plans advance.
- Results showed geographic splits, with many East Side precincts opposing Prop B, and the closely fought campaign featured heavy Spurs‑backed spending as community groups and the mayor pressed for independent analysis and transparency going forward.
