The Spurs occupy a relatively small media market, with San Antonio (No. 37 in the nation) ranking as the 26th-biggest among NBA franchises. The franchise seeks to expand its reach with inroads into the ever-growing city of Austin to the northeast, as well as Mexico City and Monterrey south of the U.S. border. That push has some local officials concerned about the franchise’s long term dedication to San Antonio and Bexar County, however.
Per The Athletic, the Bexar County Commissioners Court voted 3–2 to allow the Spurs to play four home games away from the AT&T Center in 2022–23. The standing agreement with the county allows for two such games each year, and the franchise is bound to the arena through 2032.
