Overview:

Two provisions on Bexar County's Nov. 4 ballot deal with funding for a new downtown Spurs arena and the creation of an Eastside rodeo and stock show district.

Bexar County voters will soon have their first opportunity to weigh in on public funding for a new downtown Spurs arena — through a Nov. 4 ballot measure known as Proposition B.

They’re also being asked to consider a major redevelopment of the Spurs’ current Eastside home — listed on the ballot at Proposition A — that would turn the Frost Bank Center, Freeman Coliseum and surrounding grounds into a year-round stock show and rodeo district .

To pay for both, the county wants voters’ permission to use what’s known as the venue tax, which is expected to produce about $503 million over the next 30 years.
