The home arena for the San Antonio Spurs will have a new name as soon as this season, according to multiple reports. After 15 years as the AT&T Center, the facility will reportedly be called the Frost Bank Center. News 4 San Antonio reported the change isn’t official, but an announcement from the team could come in the next few days.
The Spurs famously played in the Alamodome from 1993 until 2002 before moving into their current arena. Originally called the SBC Center, AT&T took over as the building’s sponsor in 2006. That deal expired in 2021, ushering in the possibility of a new arena sponsor. Frost Bank is headquartered in San Antonio, and employs over five thousand people in the region. Frost Bank has previously sponsored the Spurs in other capacities reaching back to the club’s ABA days.
A new arena sponsor isn’t the only change coming to the franchise’s physical infrastructure. The Spurs are set to open a new $500 million practice facility, dubbed “The Rock at La Cantera.” The broader complex will be one of the most advanced in the entire NBA and should open later this summer.
