Bexar County, Texas, commissioners recently granted approval to Spurs Sports and Entertainment to begin work on improvements and renovations to AT&T Center expected to cost about $101.5 million. Construction on the county-owned arena will include spectator areas on every level of the 12-year-old facility.

Plans call for improving seating and entrances and the Fan Shop in addition to expanding concourses in the charter level and updating suite areas. Several technology updates, such as installing a new high-definition scoreboard and wraparound LED board on three stairwell towers, also are planned. Bexar County officials agreed to contribute $85 million from visitor tax revenue to help pay for the improvements, while the Spurs organization will pay $16.5 million of the cost of the renovations to the facility.
