The rumors are true. After over a year of internal communications and signed NDAs, the city manager finally briefed San Antonio City Council and the public about its ambitious plan to have the Silver and Black move back to Hemisfair.

An overview


The city plans to build on the land where the Institute of Texan Cultures currently sits, as well as securing additional parcels of land for a total of 40 to 50 acres.

The plans include:
  • A new Spurs arena
  • A re-imagined Alamodome
  • Converting the John Woods Courthouse into a 5,000-seat venue
  • A new 1,000-room convention center hotel
  • Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center expansion

The proposed Sports and Entertainment District is estimated to take 15 years to fully complete construction.
