The Arena Money Scoreboard
Mayor and council, ranked by campaign money from donors with a documented stake in the downtown Spurs arena — and from its documented opposition.
Project Marvel is the multi-billion-dollar downtown district anchored by a ~$1.3B Spurs arena at Hemisfair. Bexar County voters approved the venue tax (Prop B) 52.1%–47.9% in November 2025, and in August 2026 City Council declined to put the city's ~$489M share to a public vote — making every member's donor ties to the arena's beneficiaries and opponents a live transparency question. This page counts only contributions from donors with a documented role on one side or the other: Spurs Sports & Entertainment ownership and staff, firms on the arena project team, and documented boosters on one side; organized venue-tax/subsidy opposition (COPS/Metro-aligned groups, union opposition) on the other.

How to read this: Every dollar above is a contribution to the
member's own city campaign from a donor with a documented organizational role —
ownership, board, leadership, staff, or a PAC giving directly — sourced from public records
(filings, org leadership pages, news coverage, or the donor's filer-reported employer). Nothing
is inferred from a name, a zip code, or fandom. Both sides were searched with equal
depth — a $0 side is an absence in the record, not an unsearched category. San Antonio
caps contributions per cycle ($1,000 mayor / $500 council), so influence shows up as many capped
gifts across a family or firm, not single large checks. Click any member for their full donor
