Public support for Project Marvel, a proposed downtown sports and entertainment district in San Antonio, has remained largely unchanged over the past nine months, according to a new UTSA poll. The survey found 47% of San Antonio residents believe the city should move forward with the project, while 35% oppose it.
Rebranding and Public Engagement
Spurs Sports & Entertainment is rebranding the project ahead of a citywide public listening tour, which begins on July 13. The tour will include 10 community conversations across San Antonio, where residents can learn more about the planned district and provide feedback.
The project has entered a new stage focused on public engagement, with the City of San Antonio completing its acquisition of the Union Square federal building near Hemisfair, a key property needed for the redevelopment.
Spurs Sports & Entertainment CEO Robert Canterbury Buford confirmed that the organization is moving away from the “Project Marvel” name, and instead describing the effort as a downtown sports and entertainment district.
