About Frost Bank Center
About Frost Bank Center
Frost Bank Center is the legendary home of the San Antonio Spurs — one of the most celebrated and successful franchises in NBA history, with five NBA Championships (2003, 2005, 2007, 2014, 2026) and a legacy of excellence built on the Coach Gregg Popovich and Tim Duncan dynasty. The arena hosted the 2026 NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks, cementing its place in NBA history. Located on the east side of San Antonio adjacent to the Freeman Coliseum and the AT&T Center Campus, Frost Bank Center opened in 2002 as the SBC Center at a cost of $175 million — funded through Bexar County bonds supported by hotel-occupancy and car-rental tax increases plus a $28.5 million Spurs contribution. It was renamed AT&T Center in January 2006 when SBC Communications became AT&T Inc., and took the current Frost Bank Center name in a new naming rights agreement. With 18,418 seats for basketball and 50 luxury suites, the arena is the primary entertainment venue for San Antonio. San Antonio is the 7th largest US city by population and receives the Spurs' undivided professional sports attention. VIA Metropolitan Transit provides special-event buses from two park-and-ride locations for Spurs games ($2.50 each way) and a regular Route 24 from downtown via Houston Street ($1.30). Lots 1-7 from $15, all card/debit only. Bags are limited to max 6"×8"×1" (one compartment) — Binbox storage available outside East and Courtyard entrances for larger bags. Box office open event days only, 3 hours before events. Public funding for a new Spurs arena was approved November 2025, with a target completion by 2032.
Visiting Frost Bank Center
🏛️Stadium History
Frost Bank Center opened in 2002 as the SBC Center — built through a Bexar County bond measure supported by hotel and car-rental tax increases plus a $28.5 million Spurs contribution, at a total cost of $175 million. The arena was designed primarily for basketball (unlike the adjacent Alamodome, which served the Spurs for a decade but was too large and had poor sightlines for basketball). The arena was renamed AT&T Center in January 2006 when SBC Communications became AT&T Inc. In its first year, the Spurs won the 2003 NBA Championship at the new arena — beginning an extraordinary run. Further championships followed in 2005, 2007, and 2014, all under Gregg Popovich and Tim Duncan's leadership. The 2013 Finals went to a heartbreaking Game 7 loss against Miami. The arena also hosted six NBA Finals total (including 2013 and 2026). Victor Wembanyama's arrival in 2023 and the 2026 championship under a new generation mark the beginning of a new era. Public funding for a new arena was approved in November 2025 for completion by approximately 2032.
⚡Matchday Atmosphere
Frost Bank Center on Spurs game nights is one of the NBA's most distinctive home-court experiences — San Antonio is a city with just one major professional sports team, and the resulting undivided attention creates some of the NBA's most intense and knowledgeable fanbases. The pre-game scene in downtown San Antonio (River Walk, Pearl District) is exceptional for visitors willing to make the 15-20 minute drive before heading east to the arena. Inside, the arena's steep basketball-optimised design concentrates crowd noise effectively. For peak atmosphere: Spurs playoff home games and marquee matchups vs Lakers, Warriors, and NBA Finals opponents — when San Antonio's championship culture and Victor Wembanyama's global star power combine to create some of the NBA's most charged environments.

Getting to Frost Bank Center
Getting to the Stadium
VIA Metropolitan Transit – Spurs Game Special Service

Driving & Parking at Frost Bank Center
Frost Bank Center is located at 1 AT&T Center Parkway on San Antonio's east side, accessible from I-35 northbound (exit 159B — Walters Street/Frost Bank Center Drive, then follow the frontage road). The arena is surrounded by multiple numbered parking lots (Lots 1-7) with approximately 12,000+ total spaces. General parking rates begin at $15 for Spurs games. Pre-book via Ticketmaster.

Walking in the AT&T Center Campus
Frost Bank Center is part of the broader AT&T Center Campus, which also includes the Freeman Coliseum (adjacent) and expo facilities used for the annual San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. The campus is a largely self-contained destination in a primarily industrial/residential east-side neighbourhood — there is not much to do immediately adjacent to the arena beyond the campus itself. For pre-game dining and entertainment, downtown San Antonio (the River Walk, Pearl District, La Villita) is the recommended destination — a 15-20 minute drive or Uber from the arena. The River Walk's Tex-Mex restaurants and San Antonio cuisine are strongly recommended for pre-game.
Amtrak – San Antonio Station
