I will say, where they put the At&T Center was a big mistake. In the center of a industrial area, and slum run down area of town. The nicest thing you will see is a Valero gas station. Outsiders might get the impression that all San Antonio is like this.This has to be one of the biggest mistakes the city has made. I remember Cyndi Krier saying it would be a great ideal to build next to the coliseum. The Mayor at that time wanted it downtown or far Northeast S.A.

Big, Big mistake!
