2025年9月29日，星期一，在圣安东尼奥，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 在球队的媒体日活动上接受记者采访。
当选民们还在为是否在11月举行选举，就一项旨在为马刺队市中心新球馆提供部分资金的贝克萨尔县场馆税进行激烈辩论时，球队的球员们，包括球队基石维克托·文班亚马，显然对此知之甚少。
在周五训练后的媒体采访中，当被问及马刺队是否曾就球馆问题“征求他的意见”时，文班亚马回答说：“并没有。他们其实没有真正问过我或我们。实际上，就在昨天，我们才稍微听说了一点，但我还没有真正深入了解。但这很有趣。当然，作为一名球员、球队的一员，我非常乐意拥有一座新球馆，但我知道这个话题背后还有更深层次的问题。”
文班亚马还表示，他没有看过“漫威计划 (Project Marvel)”的任何设计图。该计划是该市规划的一个耗资数十亿美元的市中心体育娱乐区，而马刺队的新球馆将是其中的核心建筑。
贝克萨尔县的选民们将在11月4日做出决定——提前投票期为10月20日至31日——决定该县和圣安东尼奥市是否将继续与马刺队合作，共同建造一座预计耗资13亿美元的新场馆。
选票上的A提案要求选民决定，是否将该县酒店房间税和汽车租赁税的一部分用于翻新霜冻银行中心、弗里曼体育馆以及东区的其他牛仔竞技设施。
B提案则询问选民，该县是否应该为市中心的球馆投入公共资金。
两项提案都涉及是否将该县的酒店房间税率从1.75%提高到2%，并将其汽车租赁税率维持在5%。如果选民批准A提案，该县将把1.92亿美元的税收收入用于翻新县属的东区场地，以便牛仔竞技表演可以全年在此运营。B提案则将承诺投入高达3.11亿美元用于资助马刺队的新球馆，剩余的费用由市政府和马刺队承担。

Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama says he’s pretty much in dark about arena
San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama speaks to reporters during the NBA basketball team’s media day in San Antonio, Monday, Sept. 29, 2025.
While voters hash out the pros and cons of an election in November on a Bexar County venue tax to partially fund the new Spurs downtown arena, the team’s players, including franchise cornerstone Victor Wembanyama, apparently don’t know much about it.
Asked during a media session after practice Friday if the Spurs have asked him “to give input” on the arena issue, Wembanyama said, “Not really. They haven’t really asked me or us really. Just yesterday, actually, we heard about it a little bit, but I haven’t really gotten much into it. But it is interesting. Of course as a player, as a member of the team, I would love a new arena, but I know there’s some more depth to the subject.”
Wembanyama also said he hasn’t seen any drawings of Project Marvel, the city’s planned multibillion-dollar downtown sports and entertainment district, which would include the Spurs arena as its centerpiece.
Bexar County voters will decide Nov. 4 - early voting is Oct. 20-31 - whether the county and City of San Antonio will proceed with a plan to partner with the Spurs on constructing a new building with an estimated $1.3 billion price tag.
Proposition A on the ballot asks voters to decide whether to devote a portion of the county’s tax on hotel rooms and rental cars to renovate the Frost Bank Center, Freeman Coliseum and other rodeo facilities on the East Side.
Proposition B asks whether the county should contribute public dollars to the downtown arena.
Both propositions ask whether to raise the county’s tax on hotel rooms from 1.75% to 2% and keep its tax on rental cars at 5%. If voters approve Prop A, the county would devote $192 million of the revenue to renovate the county’s East Side grounds so the rodeo can operate there year round. Prop B would commit up to $311 million to help fund the Spurs arena, with the city and Spurs picking up the rest of the tab.
