So much 🔥🔥🔥 in Lubbock, Texas right now….

Football (soccer) is back #EFLChampionship

Wrexham 💔

Next question.

Recap for those who don't wanna listen -mayor seems confused on how the money from the state can be used (only for convention centers and arena paid by the state) -county would get $300+ million in hotel and rent a car tax (voted for by the city) -spurs covering the rest wit

I truly want this arena deal approved asap because it’s turning into an AssWhip on the same level as “San Antonio needs an NFL team” all those years ago. People who literally pay zero attention to local civic matters but think they’re George Will whenever sports is involved. Ass.

Manu Ginobili hit this off balance game winner against Serbia in the 2004 Olympics in Athens 21 years ago today 🚨 He would lead Argentina to the gold medal that summer 🥇 (via The Olympic Games)

Can’t believe how much confusion there is on the new proposed arena. So 1 more time. A term sheet has been finalized. Next, council must approve Then, Bexar County voters must pass in November. Then, San Antonio voters must approve infrastructure $ next May.

For the new arena: Spurs would pay $500M City Council would approve $489M term sheet to come from State Private finance zone. Voters will say yes or no on Bexar County Visitor Hotel/Rental car tax in Nov. $311M The Spurs are in for another $500M for surrounding development which

San Antonio voters would then need to approve infrastructure $ to build roads and streets surrounding the project. Likely a vote in 2026. If County Vote in November passes.

Gina Ortiz Jones Allow a life long San Antonian to break a few things down for you 🧵

Term sheet Summary

The answer to why the 21st ? Well, council said they were prepared to play nice and not take action until the 27th until she put the resolution on the agenda Sunday night. that changed the game. And let’s be clear, any new independent analysis is going to be basically the same.

Michael Karlis San Antonio Current Perfect is the enemy of good! We have a good deal on the table that other cities would absolutely line up to match. Stop being adversarial w/the Spurs and w/those that disagree with you. Her calls for transparency are starting to feel like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy

Hey Spurs fans! The Bums are going live at 6 pm tonight. Expect a lot of fireworks on the Project Marvel topic. Things are gonna be said so hold on to your butts

NEW: Bobby Perez, Spurs exec. directly handling arena negotiations with city, county breaks down term sheet. Reiterates it will be visitor funded, $2B total from SSE, says term sheet concept was delivered in May and there’s been time to analyze terms from all parties. KSAT 12

Everyone needs to see this from our own Trish DeBerry laying down the facts and the opportunity cost at stake. This has been in the works for 2-3 years. She gets it.

3.3% of the cost of the project in tax rebates isn’t the same as “giving tens of millions of dollars” 1 team in American sports has any public an ownership stake in its team. This isn’t a practical ask. The Spurs can’t afford to operate like the Green Bay Packers. Nobody can.

Here is Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones showing her support for #ProjectMarvel. Today she admitted she was wrong and has flipped her vote to Yes for Project Marvel. She apologized several times to SSE during her speech today and thanked them for their $2.1 billion dollars. #Parody
