Project Marvel

San Antonio residents shared ideas and desires for a sports and entertainment district at the first of 10 planned listening sessions.

A new UTSA poll shows support for Project Marvel has remained steady as the Spurs prepare a citywide public listening tour.

A survey of more than 1,000 San Antonio and Bexar County residents by UT San Antonio shows Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones is still building her reputation among voters.

Gina Ortiz Jones is leveraging the Spurs’ NBA Finals spotlight after high-profile disagreements over the team’s $1.3 billion downtown arena.

Hemisfair leaders plan to seek bond dollars to rehabilitate nine protected structures, finish up Tower Park and improve East Nueva Street.

The fight over Project Marvel could upend how San Antonio votes on bond projects. District 4 Council Member Edward Mungia is proposing breaking out the downtown Spurs and Entertainment area specific to District 1, as opposed to part of a broader infrastructure package.

San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones is entering a difficult stretch of city budgeting, with several expensive decisions arriving at once: possible utility rate hikes, a potential property tax rate increase and a smaller-than-expected 2027 bond package — all while the city continues planning Project Marvel, the proposed downtown sports and entertainment district.

San Antonio’s multi-million-dollar sports and entertainment district proposed for downtown got the green light on its first two contracts to oversee construction and development of the area. But that decision came after a series of public disagreements during the meeting between Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones and the rest of the city council that left her on the losing side of multiple 10-1 votes.

Candidates for Bexar County Judge, incumbent Peter Sakai and former Mayor Ron Nirenberg sat down with TPR's "The Source" for separate interviews and discussed their history with the Democratic Party, their support for Project Marvel and other issues.

The City of San Antonio is in the final stages of using $30 million of money committed from the San Antonio Spurs to purchase a federal building within the proposed sports and entertainment district.
