San Antonio is gearing up for an exciting development as the City Council prepares to hold a special session today to discuss a proposed baseball stadium that could change the landscape of local sports. This ambitious project is estimated to cost $160 million and represents a collaborative effort between city officials and Bexar County.
The proposed stadium aims to be built in the scenic San Pedro Creek Culture Park area, which is known for its vibrant environment and community space. The new venue is designed to hold up to 4,500 fans, with a potential maximum capacity of 7,000. It will primarily serve as the home field for the San Antonio Missions, hosting around 70 games per year.
This multi-use stadium isn’t just for baseball. It will also host college and high school tournaments, various non-professional sports events, festivals, and other special gatherings, creating a hub of activity for the community.
Officials have emphasized that the stadium is expected to “pay for itself” through increased tax revenue generated from the stadium and its surrounding developments. During a recent discussion, Bexar County Judge mentioned the intent to minimize financial impact on local homeowners. “I want minimal, if any, impact on homeowners’ property taxes,” he stated. The plan hopes to leverage development in the San Pedro Creek area to support bond payments needed for constructing the stadium.
If the proposal receives the green light, officials anticipate that the stadium could be completed by 2028, marking a significant milestone for San Antonio’s sports community.
