Bexar County commissioners gave the San Antonio Spurs a preliminary go-ahead to play more home games away from the AT&T Center — though not as many as the franchise was asking for initially.
Precinct 3 Commissioner Marialyn Barnard and Precinct 4 Commissioner Tommy Calvert voted against the idea after their attempt to table it failed.
Perez said the organization has also had discussions with the Moody Center, a brand-new venue on the University of Texas at Austin campus, but there are no contracts yet.The potential for Austin games has spooked San Antonio fans, rekindling fears that the team could eventually make a permanent move up I-35.
Perez told commissioners Tuesday, “as the chief legal officer and general counsel of all our companies, our commitment is we are staying in San Antonio.”However, Wolff did not appear to give much weight to Perez’s reassurance, telling reporters after the meeting, “ has no authority to -- it’s the ownership that decides whether they’re going to stay or not.”
